Deputy PM Nhan gave the guidance while attending a conference on human development plan for the Red River Delta provinces in the 2011-2020 period held in the northern province of Nam Dinh on Dec. 11.
He said the lack of quality human resources has been noticed for many years, but there was so far no effective solution.
The Red River Delta region has better economic strengths in comparison with other regions in the country, coupled with favourable location and conditions for development.
At present, the region has a population of about 18.5 million people with 77 percent of them aged from 15 and above. However, the Red River Delta region also faces challenges from its small acreage and a high population density, low quality of labour and the largest rate of unemployment in the country.
The overall policy to develop human resources for the Red River Delta till 2020 aims to develop education as well as vocational training and get all economic sectors involve in training, so that the rate of trained labourers in the region will increase to 50 percent by 2015 and to 60 percent by 2020.
By 2020, the unemployment rate in the region is expected to be 3.5-4 percent in urban areas and the rate of real working time in rural areas will be raised to 90 percent.
The conference
was jointly held by the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Nam
Dinh provincial People’s Committee with the participation of
representatives from relevant ministries, sectors, agencies and 11
cities and provinces in the region (Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Thai
Binh, Ha Nam, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh and
Quang Ninh)./.
