Recent policy proposals to adjust minimum income levels for Vietnamese candidates joining overseas contracts have been welcomed as a positive signal by international employers. These changes not only reflect market realities but also contribute significantly to attracting a more stable, motivated, and higher-quality workforce for global partners.
According to the latest draft amendments issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, updated income thresholds are being proposed for long-term international contracts in key regions such as Europe and the Americas. The proposed minimum income levels are designed to align with current living standards and host-country regulations, ensuring transparency, sustainability, and long-term workforce commitment.
In the European market, the proposed minimum income for contracts of one year or longer is set at a higher baseline, with provisions to apply host-country standards when local minimum levels exceed this threshold. Shorter-term contracts are also subject to clearly defined income requirements, creating consistency and predictability for both candidates and employers. Similar adjustments are being proposed for the Americas, reinforcing a global trend toward fair income alignment and workforce protection.
From the perspective of international employers, these policy updates play a crucial role in improving workforce quality. Higher and clearly regulated income benchmarks help attract candidates with stronger skills, better discipline, and long-term commitment—factors that are essential for productivity and operational stability.
As a leading Vietnam Manpower workforce supplier, recruitment agency, and employment agency, Vietnam Manpower has already been operating in line with these market-oriented standards. For many recruitment programs managed by Vietnam Manpower, the proposed income levels represent only the minimum baseline. In practice, numerous orders arranged by Vietnam Manpower offer significantly higher income packages, depending on skill requirements, job categories, and partner expectations.
More importantly, Vietnam Manpower focuses not only on income alignment but also on comprehensive pre-deployment preparation. Candidates are carefully selected and trained to meet international standards, ensuring that partners receive a workforce that is not only compliant with new policy frameworks but also capable of delivering consistent performance from the first day of deployment.
These policy developments are therefore seen as a win–win signal for all stakeholders. For international partners, they support access to a more reliable and higher-quality workforce. For Vietnam Manpower, they further reinforce its role as a trusted workforce supplier that proactively adapts to regulatory changes while maintaining high recruitment and training standards.
As global demand for skilled and disciplined manpower continues to rise, Vietnam Manpower remains committed to supplying well-prepared human resources that meet both policy requirements and the practical needs of international employers, strengthening long-term cooperation across multiple markets.
