This paper argues that for these processes to continue in the future, appropriately designed and implemented labor market policies need to be in place, including labor market regulations that protect workers but do not inhibit creative destruction and creation of formal sector jobs; labor market interventions that improve workers' human capital, eliminate information asymmetries, and are fiscally sustainable; and labor market institutions that give voice to workers and employers. As a part of all of these measures, Vietnam will also have to renew its efforts to integrate vulnerable groups into the labor market. 2016-03-10T16:45:51Z 2016-03-10T16:45:51Z 2016-03 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/03/26002068/vietnams-labor-market-institutions-regulations-interventions-helping-people-grasp-work-opportunities-risky-world http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23928 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7587 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper East Asia and Pacific Vietnam
