Vietnam to dispatch 112,000 overseas workers in 2026 as bTaskee celebrates 10 years aiding female gig workers

The Vietnamese government plans to send roughly 112,000 workers abroad in 2026 under contract arrangements, shifting the overseas labor strategy from sheer volume to higher‑skill, higher‑quality placements. Japan remains the top destination with about 64,600 workers, followed by Taiwan and South Korea. A draft amendment to the Law on Vietnamese Workers Abroad aims to cut administrative steps, reduce compliance costs by 34% and simplify licensing for agencies.

Meanwhile, the gig‑platform bTaskee marks a decade of building a sustainable community for female freelancers. Research highlights that women in informal gig work often face isolation and mental‑health challenges. bTaskee seeks to provide stable income, social connection and opportunities for these workers, positioning itself as a support hub for vulnerable female gig laborers in Vietnam.
