Description
The 2014 Vietnam Development Report seeks to contribute to the public debate on the topic of “skills” and to inform Vietnam’s strategic skills development. Using new survey instruments developed by the World Bank, the report analyzes the demand for skills by Vietnamese employers in the greater Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City region, Vietnam’s economic growth poles, and assesses the skills profile of the working age population in urban Vietnam. Based on this analysis, it examines how and when different types of skills are formed and what this means for reforming the education and training systems. It will propose a set of policy recommendations along three steps of a holistic skills strategy: first, promoting school readiness through early childhood development; second, building the cognitive and behavioral (also called ‘non-cognitive’) foundation in general education; and, third, building job- relevant technical skills through a more connected system.
