Upholding workers’ creativeness

Binh Duong is now home to nearly 900,000 workers, over 60% of whom are immigrants. Taking care of them is a “thorny” problem for the local administration. The efforts by the local authorities at all levels plus proper policies have helped improve workers’ spiritual and material lives. Upon this, workers have upheld their competence and created useful initiatives, contributing to promoting the evolution of enterprises and the locality.
