Vietnamese workers are increasingly looking to Australia and Germany as labor hot spots, according to a new report. The report, by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), found that the number of Vietnamese workers going to Australia and Germany increased by 20% and 15%, respectively, in 2022.
As a result of these factors, the number of Vietnamese workers in Japan has been growing steadily in recent years. In 2022, there were an estimated 400,000 Vietnam workers in Japan, and this number is expected to continue to grow in the years to come.
Why is Japan less and less attractive to Vietnamese workers?
There are a number of reasons for this shift.
First, the Japanese yen has been depreciating in recent years, making it less attractive for Vietnam workers to save money in Japan.
Second, Australia and Germany have both implemented policies to attract foreign workers, such as providing visa-free entry for Vietnamese citizens. Third, the economies of Australia and Germany are growing, which means there are more job opportunities available.

Australia is a popular destination for Vietnam workers because of its strong economy and relatively high wages. The average monthly salary for a Vietnamese worker in Australia is around AUD$2,500, which is significantly higher than the average salary in Vietnam.
In addition, Australia offers a number of other benefits to foreign workers, such as free healthcare and education. Vietnamese workers can also bring their families with them to Australia, which is not always possible in other countries.
