According to the Vietnam Department of Labour’s latest report, the estimated number of Vietnamese labor export workers in 2023 was around 155,000, an increase of 8.55% compared to 2022 and the highest number to date.
According to the same report, approximately 120,000 to 143,000 Vietnamese workers go abroad for work each year.
The remittances sent by these workers amount to around US$3.5–4 billion, contributing greatly to Vietnam’s socioeconomic development.
With the global economy in a downturn, coupled with high inflation and ongoing political tensions, remittance inflows to Vietnam have continued to endure and even increased compared to 2022.
