Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the labor situation from the beginning of 2021 until now
It can be seen that the impact of two waves of COVID-19 during the first 7 months of 2021 on the labor market is extremely large. Almost all types of workers are negatively affected, especially salaried employees in export processing zones, industrial zones, and workers in the informal sector.
According to a report in the second quarter of 2021, there are 12.8 million people aged 15 and older who are negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including those who have to take time off/rotational leave, reduce working hours, reduce income, lose jobs,... Out of the total 12.8 million people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, 4.1 million have to temporarily stop/suspend production and business, accounting for 31.8% ; 557 thousand people lose their jobs, accounting for 4.4%; 4.3 million people who have their working hours cut, take time off or rotational leave, accounting for 34.1%, and 8.5 million workers have their income reduced, accounting for 66.4%

The number of workers in urban areas suffers more than in rural areas. Specifically, up to 21.9% of workers in urban areas are negatively affected, while this figure in rural areas is 14.3%.
Situation of businesses maintaining business operations under the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic
According to a report from 54 provinces, 9.94% of businesses have to suspend production and business operations due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 19 southern provinces and cities that are applying Directive No. 16/CT-TTg, up to 20% of businesses have to stop operating, the number of employees who stop working accounts for 33.4% of the total number of employees.
Some businesses in the epidemic area are forced to suspend operations because they could not meet the criteria "3 on the spot" and " 1 road - 2 locations". According to the reflection, the biggest difficulty for businesses when implementing "3 on the spot" and " 1 road - 2 locations" is that the infrastructure is not qualified to meet the epidemic prevention and control work, the implementation costs are high, and the regulations and instructions of the agencies are not specific, making businesses confused in the implementation process.

When many inadequacies occurred, instead of finding solutions to support, the provinces issued regulations to stop the implementation of "3 on the spot", affecting businesses that are eligible to deploy. In general, the impact of 2 waves of COVID-19 epidemic in the first 7 months of 2021 on production operations and human resource management of enterprises is extremely large.
