This briefing document synthesizes the key themes emerging from GFEMS-funded research and advocacy efforts focused on Vietnamese labor migration between 2018-2020. Findings represent inputs from a range of labor migration stakeholders including government agencies, private sector entities, labor recruiters, service providers, and, crucially, migrant workers and their families.
