Abstract—This article explores the effects of the COVID- 19
epidemic on Vietnam's labor market, thereby pointing out the
advantages and disadvantages facing the labor market. The
article uses qualitative methods and analysis, thereby giving
results on the impact of the pandemic on Vietnam's labor
market. The study results show that the Vietnamese labor
market faces many difficulties in both human and financial
resources. The closure (total or temporary) of activities has
increasingly enhanced job loss. According to a survey by the
General Statistics Office (2020), there are 2900 businesses
temporarily closed and 30.8 million workers are affected. These
impacts both create opportunities for the market but also cause
it to face other challenges. The article also offers solutions that
the Government implements to help businesses overcome the
crisis.
Index Terms—COVID-19 pandemic, labor market, Vietnam.
