Employees looking for jobs in Ho Chi Minh City aged 18-35 account for 49.68%

On January 3, Ms. Nguyen Van Hanh Thuc - Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Employment Service Center - said that, based on age, the labor force looking for jobs in 2025 includes three age groups.

Of which, the 18-35 age group has 95,273 people (49.68%), which is the pillar of flexible, high-intensity positions, suitable for the e-commerce, logistics, food and beverage, production and customer care industries.

The 36-45 age group has 57,382 people (29.92%), rich in experience, suitable for technical positions, supervision, team leader, administrative - operational skills.

The group over 45 years old has 39,135 people (20,51%), vulnerable to increased digital skills requirements, but if they are advised to reasonably shift direction (community services, security, simple technical support, social care), they are still a stable and experienced working class.

This structure helps the market to be "resulated", but also requires designing career paths and skill levels according to each age to both take advantage of the young force and retain the middle-aged group and support the reintegration of careers for the elderly.
