More women in informal sector in Q1: GSO
The third COVID-19 resurgence has weakened the labour market recovery momentum gained in the second half of 2020 and forced many labourers, particularly women, to shift to informal employment, according to the latest report by the General Statistics Office (GSO).
A survey by the GSO reveals that though there was a fall in employment in the first quarter of 2021, the number of working females rose against the same period last year.
The increase, however, was largely due to a higher number of women working in the informal sector, the GSO said, adding that the growth of females in informal sector was higher than that of males.

Binh Thuan (VNA) – Fishermen in Phan Thiet city, the south central
province of
carcass of a whale (respectfully called Ca Ong
by locals) to the shore for burial on April 17.
The
fishermen found the gray whale, 15 metres in length and more than four
tonnes in weight, dead at sea on April 16.
Vietnamese coastal residents believe whales are sacred animals that help
fishermen at sea. Therefore, they often rescue the animals or bury the dead
ones in solemn ceremonies.
According to local practice, fishermen exhume whales’ graves after three years,
and bring the remains to the local temple for worshipping.
