Women hardest hit by downturn
=====================================

Gender biases sharpen in Vietnam as unemployment soars

In 2010, the unemployment rate among females in Vietnam was 8.3 percent, compared to 5.9 percent among males, according to a new report.

When the going gets tough, it gets tougher for women.

Nguyen Thi Huong discovered this bitter truth after spending more than a month in a fruitless search for work.

Huong joined the growing ranks of the unemployed after her firm, a silk producer in Hanoi’s Van Phuc craft village, shut down after its business dwindled. The 23-year-old weaver widened her search to industrial parks in the neighboring province of Vinh Phuc, but had no luck.

“Companies which offer good salaries do not want to employ females, while those accepting women offer wages that are too low, not enough to live on,” she said.

Gyorgy Sziracki, director of the International Labor Organization (ILO) Country Office for Vietnam, said over one million youths enter Vietnam’s labor market each year. Many of them, especially females, find it hard to get and keep jobs.

In 2010, the unemployment rate among females was 8.3 percent, compared to
5.9 percent among males, according to the ILO.

Studies have shown that companies with high demand for female workers mainly operate in labor-intensive sectors such as garment, footwear and seafood. However, these sectors, hurt by higher input costs and lower sales, have narrowed production and reduced their workforce.

Pham Xuan Hong, vice chairman of the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, said the biggest difficulty for garment producers is low purchasing power in both local and foreign markets. Many small- and medium-sized garment firms have shut down their business as a result, he said.

Nguyen Huu Quy, labor and social insurance director under the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Vinh Phuc Province, said: “Few firms in our province’s industrial parks have demand for new workers. A footwear company, which employs more than 3,000 workers, has actually asked its employees to take off work in turns because it has fewer orders from foreign customers.”

Tran Anh Tuan, deputy director of the Ho Chi Minh City Center of Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labor Market Information, said many women are having to accept unstable work with low income, and face high unemployment risks because of their limited qualifications.

Bias against women

In Vietnam, especially in rural areas, education is less of a priority for daughters than sons.

Phan Truong Son, the deputy director of a trade company in Hanoi, said his newly-established firm needs to recruit five more sales representatives. Son does not want female employees. “Women often pay less attention to their work than men,” he said. “They can also go on maternity leave for months, affecting our work.”

Son’s firm has 20 employees, and only two of them are women.

Le Quang Trung, deputy head of the job department under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, said the number of firms shutting down or facing bankruptcy has increased amidst the economic slowdown, resulting in a high unemployment rate.

Trung said enterprises will continue to face many difficulties in the first half of this year, so the high unemployment rate is likely to persist. Manual laborers, skilled workers and managers may all lose their jobs, he said.

Vietnam’s economic growth eased to 5.9 percent last year from 6.8 percent in 2010. The government is targeting 6 percent growth for 2012.

A recent report issued by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that more than 7,600 Vietnamese companies shut down last year. Of the 622,977 licensed companies in Vietnam at the end of 2011, 12.6 percent have closed, it said.

Cao Sy Kiem, chairman of the Vietnam Association of Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises, said the number of companies that have shut down is expected to continue to rise as the economy remains sluggish.

According to the Management Board of HCMC Industrial Parks and Processing Zones, the number of laborers needed is expected to go down to 30,000 this year, much lower than the 50,000 last year.

Few companies have announced plans to recruit more employees this year.

According to the HCMC Center of Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labor Market Information, some 36,000 applied for unemployment insurance in the first quarter of this year, an increase of 57 percent over the same period last year.

In Vietnam, most of the unemployed people are youths, according to a recent ILO report. Up to 50.4 percent of Vietnam’s unemployed are in the 15-24 age bracket.

Young people are finding it harder than other age groups to get jobs in Vietnam, and this does not augur well for the future, experts have said.

However, the problem is worse than mere unemployment, as the quality of work for youth is decreasing. Many young laborers are working for low earnings with little protection, and more work is being done in difficult conditions, the ILO said in its report.

The 2011-2020 Vietnam Employment Strategy report estimates the unemployment rate among youth aged 15-24 at around 7 percent over the previous decade, compared to the overall rate of 2.88 percent.

The youth unemployment rate is likely to grow as 1.5-1.6 million young people enter the workforce every year. Several limitations, including access to quality training and imbalances between training and market needs, will continue to remain stumbling blocks to this generation, experts warn.

Andrea Salvini, an economist with the ILO Office for Vietnam, said: “When the country moves up the ladder of economic development, and the traditional family structures of household business engaging in subsistence agriculture changes, young workers are those most exposed to phenomena of joblessness.”

He said high youth unemployment presents high individual and social costs. Individual costs refer to income losses and lack work experience while social costs include a reduction in the labor force for the society as a whole.

Poor employment outcomes early in life are often the first steps for recurrent unemployment and inactivity later in life, Salvini said.

In all this, women are the greater sufferers because of ingrained prejudices that provide them with less education, less training, less pay and more workplace discrimination, experts said.

Relieving oneself in public: Urine trouble
=============================================
With the concern the government shows for sending tourists away with a good feeling about Vietnam I cannot understand why they do not start a campaign informing the people that public urinating is unacceptable.

My wife and I walk our two small dogs in the park at Nha Trang beach most evenings and I always take small plastic bags to clean up their droppings whether on sidewalk or grass. In the past we have been asked by the green uniformed attendants to stop allowing them on the grass but we show them the bag and they stopped bothering us. By the way, I never see a Vietnamese owner clean up after their dog and many dogs run loose.

When I do not have time to go to the beach I take them to the small memorial park that is right in front of the train station. That is just a block from our house. The attendant there is not satisfied with my cleaning up. He still wants to make a fuss. My wife was with me the other evening and I told her to ask him why he complains about us when people, both men and women, can be seen every evening urinating in public even though a toilet is in the park. They refuse to pay! He just mumbled something to my wife and we took the dogs home.

The other night, I thought I would trick him and went to the second section of the park, away from his usual sitting spot. As I was walking a man started to urinate beside the walkway just as the attendant came from his usual spot and started to speak to me (I still speak almost no Vietnamese by the way, sadly!).

I took his hand and pointed him to the man urinating and gestured that he should leave me alone and stop that behavior. He strode off to exercise his official duty but he was very hesitant and the man just ignored him. A few minutes later another man took his place for the same purpose. After awhile there are sections of the sidewalks where you cannot walk without having your nose assaulted by the smell of urine. It is disgusting. I cannot speak for other Asians but I doubt people urinate on the streets of Tokyo or Beijing.

Coconut rice is Ben Tre classic
=====================================
The coconut tree has become the symbol of the Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre.

Therefore, indigenous dishes from the province often bear the sweetness and flavor of its specialty such as coconut candy, coconut leave cake, coconut sweet soup, steamed fish with coconut water and fried mushroom with coconut.

One of the specialties that must be mentioned is coconut rice served with fried shrimp with coconut water.

To make the coconut rice is simple. Peel off the cover and extract the water. After washing the rice through, put it together with coconut water, then cook it until the rice is done.

Fresh shrimps bought from the market must be cleaned; their heads and tails cut off and then put in a pot with coconut extract, put it on a small fire and add main spices. The dish will be done when the shrimps turn red and the flavor overwhelms the kitchen.

My Ha Long Bay Visit
===========================
Before I moved to Vietnam, one of the things that most impressed me about the country were pictures I had seen of Ha Long Bay. The beautiful pictures showed romantic views of limestone islands sitting in gorgeous blue water, and I knew this would be a place that I would have to visit! Much to my surprise, when I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City I realized that this magical place was pretty far away. Unfortunately, after a year of working in, and traveling around, this impressive country I had yet to accomplish my goal of visiting the bay. Recently, while on a business trip to Hanoi, I took a few extra days and finally got to Ha Long Bay.

I booked a tour with a local Hanoi travel agent recommended by a friend. I knew that I didn’t want to go for a cheap, low budget tour on my first visit to the bay so I decided to go for one of the nicer, but still affordable, options. When I had everything booked I could barely sleep because I was so excited.

A bus picked me up in Hanoi in the morning and we made the long drive to the boats. I was surprised how long the drive took as I originally thought that Ha Long Bay was closer to the city. Still, the ride was comfortable and we made it to the water with few complaints. Plus, while we drove along, we got the chance to introduce ourselves to the other travelers who would be joining us on our adventure.

We boarded a small boat at the somewhat chaotic and crowded marina and rode out to the larger boat we would be spending the night on. The boat was beautiful with a rustic, wooden exterior that fit perfectly with the timeless location that surrounded us. Although the boat looked like a more traditional vessel, inside it was equipped with all the modern amenities that you would expect in a modern hotel room. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were surprisingly large for being on a boat.

Slowly, the boat moved into the area of the towering islands. Although I had seen many pictures I was unprepared for how truly impressive the rock formations are in real life! They were truly amazing to look at and compared to nothing else I had ever seen.

Eventually, the boat came to a stop where the rocks formed a kind of natural harbor. Here we exited and got the opportunity to check out a large cave toward the top of one of the large islands. The inside of the cave was massive, bigger than any other cave I had been to and I was surprised that it was in as good of shape as it was, considering the amount of tourists that pass through it daily. While I thought the cave was nice, the best part was the view it afforded from its high location. The boats resting on the calm water next to the islands were truly a sight to see, it reminded me of something you would see in a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie!

After exploring the cave, we had a couple of hours to kayak around in the clear, blue water. I had really been looking forward to the kayaking and it didn’t disappoint. Although the outside temperature was cooler than in HCMC I was surprised by how warm the water was as I paddled along.

Once we were finished kayaking it was time for dinner on the boat. We ate some delicious seafood as the sun sat around us and the rocks were bathed in an orange light. Once night fell I retired to my room where I peacefully went to sleep. I rested peacefully as the water was gentle and there was barely a sound outside.

In the morning we watched the sun rise over the landscape, had a simple breakfast and cruised out of the bay. Overnight, clouds had crept into the area and we got the chance to see a more mystical, foggy side of the bay. This was charming in its own way and I felt like an early explorer discovering a new land.

Finally we made it back to the mainland, boarded a bus and returned to the city. I didn’t want to leave such a magical place but I knew this would be the first of many trips as I don’t think I could ever spend enough time in this picturesque land that is truly a natural wonder.

Giving private tutoring – the main bread earner for poor teachers
================================================== =========

VietNamNet Bridge – In big cities, private tutoring can help teachers become millionaires. Meanwhile, in rural and remote areas, private tutoring is the main source of income for many teachers.

The information that the Ministry of Education and Training intends to tighten the control over the private tutoring has raised big worry for many teachers and parents. While parents emphasize that their children need to go to extra classes to be able to pass the university entrance exams, teachers say they need to give private tutoring lessons to earn money to cover their basic needs.

Going to private tutoring classes to prepare for exams

Minh Dang, a student of the HCM City Transport University, has affirmed that he could pass the university entrance exams because he went to mathematics, physics and chemistry majoring private tutoring classes.

“In my village, there are no exam preparation centers, and there is no Internet for us to look for materials,” Dang explained. “Meanwhile, the lessons at school can only provide basic knowledge, just enough to serve the high school final exam. If we do not go to extra classes, we would not be able to practice with complicated questions which cannot be found in official textbooks.”

Agreeing with Dang, Hoang Tram, a 12th grader in Long Thanh district of Dong Nai province, also said she has to go to literature, physics and English classes to prepare for the university entrance exams, the most important exams in the life of every Vietnamese student.

“I do not want to learn with my teachers, but I try to choose the classes run by famous and qualified teachers,” she said. “Meanwhile, my friends from other schools go to the classes run by my school teachers, because they want to get familiar with different types of exam questions.”

“Passing the university entrance exams is our most important goal,” she added.

Especially, the parents also force their children who are the students of primary schools to go to private tutoring classes as well. There are many subjects the children need to practice. Nursery school children have to practice writing to prepare for the first grade, while primary school students need to practice writing and foreign language skills.

Bich Nga, a parent in district 1, said that she cannot teach the child herself, because the girl does not want to practice writing and do mathematics questions at home. Therefore, Nga decided to send the child to a private tutoring class, where she is prepared well for entering general schools.

How can teachers earn their living without private tutoring?

“I am jealous with the teachers who can give private tutoring,” said Thu Hien, a teacher of a secondary school in Lam Dong province. Being a literature teacher, Hien cannot open private tutoring class, because of the low demand for the literature lessons.

As a result, Hien has to take any other jobs she can find to earn extra money: she types documents and edits essays as a part time job. Hien, though having the service length of 10 years, can earn 3 million dong a month only in total. The sum of money is just enough to feed herself only.

“Teachers cannot live on salaries. Therefore, all of use have to take extra jobs to take extra money,” she said, adding that if the monthly salary is high enough, no one would be foolish enough to spend their free time on private tutoring classes.

“How can live with the monthly modest salary if we do not give private tutoring hours?” said Phuong Linh from a secondary school in HCM City. She gets 3.2 million dong a month from the teaching at school, and she earns 500,000 dong from tutoring two students.

The monthly income of 3.7 million dong a month is just enough to cover basic needs. The room rent alone costs her 1 million dong a month.
