This study, ‘Improving Employment Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities in Viet Nam’, aims to explore existing bottlenecks on employment, career development and entrepreneurship of PWDs by analysing the legal and policy framework of employment for PWDs in Viet Nam, interviewing PWDs in the labour market, policymakers and representatives from non-governmental organisations to assess the current situation in Viet Nam against international best practices. 

The overall objective of the study is to better understand the current situation of employment for PWDs in Viet Nam and to contribute to the development of the new national action plan for assisting persons with disabilities for the period 2021-2030, building on the previous National Action Plan 2012-20, to strengthen the mechanisms of inclusion of PWDs in the society to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs.
