  "summary": "The number of Vietnamese overseas workers has been decreasing in age, with a significant portion of workers now being unmarried guest workers. The geographic distribution of these workers has also shifted, with a rising share coming from the northern midlands and mountainous regions, as well as the Mekong Delta. Most of these workers have completed high school, but they are often employed in jobs requiring low or medium skills, with manufacturing being the largest sector. The income gap among these workers highlights the importance of vocational training, technical skills, and foreign language skills for higher-paying jobs. The General Statistics Office recommends expanding job opportunities to markets with steady labor demand, good working conditions, and higher salaries to provide workers with more options and reduce the risks associated with policy changes.",
