15-11-2017

The industrial revolution 4.0 (Industry 4.0) is approaching and through the comments of experts in the world as well as in the country, industry 4.0 will greatly affect the Vietnam Textile industry, because this is the industry. employing about 3 million workers nationwide. With this anxiety and concern to the leaders of the textile and garment industry, we have a very different view, but together, it can be said that the Vietnam Textile industry will only need a lot. It can not be reduced, at least in the next 5 years.

Demand for workers is always high

According to Truong Van Cam - Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Association, the textile and garment industry is a highly fashionable sector, with many stages of production. hand movements of people in short time, especially the sewing. On the same point, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Duong - Chairman of the General Corporation Hung Yen Garment Joint Stock Company, labor fluctuations are a sore feeling of the Corporation and he asserted, for other stages in the textile chain may reduce Demand for labor, but for sewing will always need more labor. According to Mr. Duong, in addition to the labor of other units "drag" there is a group of vacancies accounted for quite large% at Hung Yen Garment Company in general and the textile and garment enterprises in particular. New female laborers give birth. Wishing to take care of their children until they are strong, they can go to kindergarten, so this group of girls tend to leave for two years and then return to the company. There is another group of employees according to Mr. Duong, from the "nature" of lazy labor, not self-conscious, playful. This group of workers is often young, unmarried, so after a period of working time is seen to be controlled in terms of time as well as labor regulations tend to be pushed up and shifted to other jobs. . Duong is concerned that at present, Vietnam possesses a population of gold, but it can not bring all these forces into the market to contribute to society and enrich the country. For example, in the city of Hung Yen, with a population of 1.2 million, of which 600,000 people in working age, but the number of mobilized to produce only about 200,000 people. This is a huge waste of human resources. Mr. Duong pity: "The number of trained workers is also very much, college, university is also very large. However, the unemployment rate in this group is very high, up to 60%. Overseas, this force is very precious but in Vietnam it is very expensive! "

Mr. Do Thanh Binh - Director of Garment Factory 2 Ho Guom

With reasonable compensation policy, preferential treatment, Ho Guom Garment Factory 2 - a unit under Ho Guom Group must also extremely hard to retain workers. Mr. Do Thanh Binh - Director of the company has just wiped sweat: "I always take the original workers and not afraid to fight with leaders of the Group to get the best for workers, often Exchange with employees to understand the mind, aspirations, thereby maintaining the number of employees at the factory. Labor productivity will be severely affected if the former employee leaves, which will take up to 6 months to train a new employee, as they need time to get used to the new work environment, The management and operation of tailor-made sewing - the most difficult product in the export textile products. Attempts and efforts are the same, but labor fluctuations are always occurring, and the need to recruit new employees is not always there, because around the factory there are many other businesses, the same industry. There are and other professions also. In addition, workers move from one location to another in search of suitable jobs as well as higher incomes.

For labor stitching Yarn - Textile dyeing, recruitment problems, attracting and retaining talents is also difficult to sew. To train a skilled maintenance worker will take from 3 to 6 months, the worker Yarn - Textile dyeing takes at least 2 to 3 months. Doan Van Dung - Head of the Nam Dinh Textile and Garment Corporation, said that in Nam Dinh, there are many FDI enterprises and private enterprises, often posting jobs from hundreds of thousands of workers. With attractive salaries, therefore, the retention as well as labor recruitment for the new projects of the TCT extremely difficult. In January, 1818, the Corporation will put a new textile project into operation in Hoa Xa Industrial Park, so the recruitment and training of 230 workers has been implemented by the GDT for several months. In order to be able to recruit the above labor force, the GDT has implemented the policy to support the whole cost of study and pay for new recruits during the training period. The study is conducted in two phases, the first stage of theoretical study at TCT, phase 2 practice at the factories of the Corporation, factories of the member units of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group or the joint The private sector is affiliated with the GDT. Specifically, more than 100 workers are practicing in the factory of the Corporation, 17 workers to practice at Hue Textile Garment Corporation, Phu Bai Spinning Mill; 17 laborers to practice at Phu Tho Fiber Co., Ltd. TCT supports all travel expenses, accommodation, and employees are paid by the classification from 1 to 3, workers trained well, hard working, the salary can be up to 4 million per month, The cost of meals is subsidized by the factories.

Compete with labor importing countries

The human resources of the textile and apparel industry are not limited to competition between one factory and another, competition between one industry and another, between one locality and another, but also between Vietnam and other countries. importing country.

Mr. Ngo Minh Hoan - Managing Director of Hung Long JSC

Talking with Mr. Ngo Minh Hoan - Managing Director of Hung Long Service & Trading Joint Stock Company (May Hung Long), the number of employees is always high to compensate displaced workers, as well as to serve the New development projects of garment enterprises. According to the evidence, he said, in the first 6 months of 2017, the total number of employees of the company is 2,600 people, the number of labor in / out about 400 people, the number of absolute reduction is 98 people. By inquiring into the aspirations of the workers, he learned that out of 98 people off work, up to 80 people will export labor to Japan. If calculated quickly, every year hard working people in Japan will accumulate about 20-25 million per month, while the salary at the company is only about 10 million. This is one of the main reasons leading to the loss of employees at the Company.

4.0 will bring great opportunities for DMVN industry

General Director of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group - Mr. Le Tien Truong said that if the 4.0 industry is widely and rapidly applied, labor productivity per capita will improve very rapidly. This is different from the usual increase in productivity through a life-changing, speed-boosting process that has been taking place for more than two decades. This time with the application of automation, robots, and the use of big data, the ability to increase productivity will be multiplier rather than additive. Thus, industries that are considered low-income will be able to dramatically improve their incomes and create a new textile industry where workers' incomes are asymptotically equivalent to other sectors. This is also a great opportunity for the industry to continue to attract a large number of workers, to develop more sustainably, avoid the situation of labor fluctuations.
