Supporting people to find jobs and convert livelihoods after land acquisition

At the Thanh Tri Cluster Job Counseling and Transaction Day 2026 held on the morning of September 27, besides young workers looking for job opportunities, there were people from areas whose production land was recovered with the desire to find a job suitable for their age and ability.

Ms. Truong Thi Anh (Thanh Tri commune, Hanoi) said that her family is subject to land acquisition for project implementation. When there is no longer production land, she starts looking for a new job direction to contribute to maintaining income for the family.

I saw that the commune had an announcement about a job consulting and transaction day, so I came early to directly learn and approach recruiters. Any job that is suitable for my ability, time and age, my husband and I will participate in applying," Ms. Anh said.

Not only Ms. Anh's family, Ms. Luu Thi Hau (Thanh Tri commune, Hanoi) also came to the festival after her family's land was recovered, including more than 1,000m2 of rice fields and about 83m2 of residential land.

We find these direct job transactions very meaningful, especially for the elderly, who have little access to technology. Currently, there is not much rice land left to cultivate, we also plan to find other jobs to have a more stable income," Ms. Hau said.

From a local perspective, Mr. Bui Huy Hoang, Chairman of Thanh Liet Ward People's Committee, said that the career structure transformation in the area is taking place strongly, including the requirement to switch from agricultural production to other industries for people whose land is recovered.

The transition from agricultural production to other industries is necessary for people whose land is recovered. The locality has implemented job counseling conferences for farmers with orientations to switch to the service sector or small-scale industry," Mr. Hoang said.

At the same time, in the past time, the locality has also coordinated with the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to implement loan support policies. This is one of the directions to help people have more resources to develop the economy after they no longer have production land.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tay Nam, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Home Affairs has submitted a document to the City People's Committee, proposing to disburse about 1,000 billion VND of newly allocated capital. If approved, the Department of Home Affairs will coordinate with the Social Policy Bank to implement early to support people in solving employment in the last months of the year, contributing to ensuring social security in the city.

From those who directly come to the job transaction session, the need to convert livelihoods after land acquisition shows that supporting people needs to be associated with jobs suitable for age, ability and actual conditions.

In addition to job connections, vocational training policies, career counseling and capital support are also factors set by the locality in the process of transitioning from agricultural production to other industries.
