Promoting Decent Work for Sustainable Development
Training on Decent Work towards Sustainable Development

Defined as work that “involves opportunities for both male and female to have work that is stable, productive in the free equal conditions and ensuring personal dignity”, the concept of decent work has become increasingly important globally and set to be the Sustainable Development Goal 8 of the 2030 Agenda. The large size of the informal sector, the Industry 4.0 as well as the global economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have further underlined the need for a discussion on the role of decent work and how to measure decent work in the Vietnamese context.

Against this background, Hanns Seidel Foundation in Vietnam supported the Institute of Labour Science and Social Affairs (ILSSA) in organising intensive training course offered staff of, lecturers and researchers from several universities, and officials from the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) of Vietnam a wonderful opportunity to exchange and extend their knowledge of sustainable and decent work. Besides informative presentations of experts from the ILO, the ILSSA and the MoLISA on the measurement and assessment of decent work and the role of decent work in the implementation of SDGs in Vietnam, the training course also gave participants chance to discuss challenges in promoting decent work in Vietnam and to suggest some solutions for this issue.

For the last 10 years, HSF has been closely collaborating with the ILSSA on conducting empirical researches, training courses and consultation workshops on emerging and sizzling social issues in Vietnam in a timely manner. This longstanding partnership is part of HSF’s efforts to fulfil our commitment to supporting just, equitable and sustainable social development in Vietnam.
