The labour market maintained its recovery and stable growth in the first half of 2026, with the employment figure rising to 52.6 million, up 672,500 from a year earlier, and unemployment and underemployment staying at low levels, reported the National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Finance.

At the second meeting of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam, the message regarding the goal of “double-digit” growth was established based on core principles: substantive, stable, efficient, and for the people. This is the guiding principle for shaping a new development model, where growth is the means to achieve inclusive and sustainable development goals.
