The Role of Human Resources in International Economic Integration in Vietnam

Human resources play a very important role for organizations and society in international economic integration. But the Politburo assessed: "The quality of human resources and infrastructure has been slowly improved. The capacity of cadres, civil servants, and businessmen has not met the integration requirements". Vietnam is the third most populous country in Southeast Asia, but the population is shifting towards increasing the proportion of elderly people and decreasing the proportion of young people. Vietnam is currently in the period of golden population structure and also in the process of population aging. In addition, the country still has 38.0 million untrained workers. Meanwhile, labor productivity - a decisive factor in improving the capacity and competitiveness of the economy. Our country has set a specific target for the Program that the average labor productivity growth rate is over 6.5% / year, but the growth rate of labor productivity in 2021 and 2022 is 4.6% and 4.8%, respectively, lower than the set target of 5.5%, in 2023 it is estimated to increase by 3.77 - 4.76%. Therefore, developing and implementing an overall strategy on international integration, in the short term to 2020, focusing on institutional renewal, human resource development, infrastructure modernization, meeting international integration requirements, and promoting bilateral and multilateral cultural cooperation, society, science–technology, education – training, focusing on human resource development, especially high-quality human resources are key factors of Vietnam in the coming time.
