After the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs proposed that the Government re-allocate the minimum wage zones, many localities said that this adjustment would ensure the rights of workers and help localities attract workers.
The People's Committee of Long An province has proposed to adjust zone II to zone I for Tan An city and Duc Hoa and Ben Luc districts; zone III to zone II for Kien Tuong town. Because Tan An city is considered the "gateway" urban area of the Mekong Delta; and Duc Hoa, Ben Luc and Can Giuoc districts are bordering many large-scale industrial parks and Ho Chi Minh City; living conditions, market prices and living standards are quite similar to neighboring districts of Ho Chi Minh City but are applying the zone II salary level.
This difference leads to displacement and disruption of the labor market in Long An. Meanwhile, Kien Tuong town has the Border Gate Economic Zone and Binh Hiep International Border Gate, bordering Svay Rieng province of Cambodia. The application of the minimum wage in Region II will attract workers to work here, meeting the requirements of socio -economic development, political security stability, and security and order.
The current minimum wage in region I is 4.68 million VND/month, region II is 4.16 million, region III is 3.64 million, and region IV is 3.25 million. It is expected that from July 1, this salary will increase by 6%.
