越南失业率的案例研究的经济学论文
在过去的几十年里,以寻找工作和家庭责任之间的平衡为主题的国际热点持续升温。现在人们认识到,工作和家庭生活之间的冲突,对人们的生活质量(特别是对妇女和儿童的福利)、工作条件,特别是工人的生产力和健康有明显负面影响。
在越南,最近在劳动力市场上的事态发展可以归纳为以下七个主要部分(非重要性排序):
在1997年至2007年之间的人口的大规模增长为该国带来了大量劳动力,越南的劳动力市场承受了巨大压力。然而,未来的人口增长预计不会像过去十年一样高。
目前GDP的强劲增长带来的就业增长、提高劳动生产率,正支持着减少贫穷的努力。
劳动力参与率和就业所占的人口比例呈下降趋势。促成这一转变的原因是青少年上学时间延长,以及成年人采取提前退休。
总就业人数中的很大一部分群体从事危险工作或缺乏体面的工作。
Case Study Of Unemployment In Vietnam Economics Essay
In the last few decades, international interest in the theme of finding a balance between work and family responsibilities has grown significantly. It is now recognized that the conflicts between work and family life have negative effects on the quality of people*s life (notably on the welfare of women and children), and on working conditions, in particular, worker*s productivity and health.
In Vietnam, recent developments in the labor market can be encapsulated into the following seven major components (not necessary in order of importance):
The major growth in population between 1997 and 2007 has added a large number of labors to the country's labor force, placing pressure on the Vietnam labor market. However, future population growth is not expected to be as high as the previous decade.
There has been strong growth in GDP with consequent employment gains and improved labor productivity, supporting poverty reduction efforts.
There has been a downward trend in labor force participation rates and also employment-to-population ratios. Contributing to this shift are youth remaining in school longer and adults taking earlier retirement.
A very large component of total employment falls into the category of being vulnerable and lack to have a decent work.
There have been significant shifts in labor market with a decreasing proportion in agricultural employment, and rising employment in the industrial and services sectors.
Unemployment is not presently a problem in the country, with the unemployment rate remaining stable and very low over the past decade.
While Vietnam still remains a large population in rural area, it is gradually shifting major number of residents from rural area to urban area.

The definition of unemployment
※The number of people who are actively looking for work but are currently without a job§ [1] .
But not everyone without a job is counted as unemployed, it does not include children and pensioners. The economists usually explain unemployment as: ※People in the working age are currently without a job and available for work at current wage rates§ [2] .
Formula
Unemployment Rate = (Unemployed Workers / Total Labor Force) x 100
The unemployment rate is expressed as a percentage:
Example: The unemployed workers in Vietnam are 1.320.000 people and the total labor force is 44.000.000 people.
(1.320.000 / 44.000.000) x 100 = 3% (unemployment rate)
