  • Environmental requirements: Careful consideration is needed regarding the connectivity and capacity of the centralized wastewater treatment system in certain older areas to ensure compliance with stringent environmental regulations.

We will help investors identify the most suitable industrial park location – where infrastructure is ready, costs are reasonable, and the supply chain is optimized.

3. Population and the Labor Market

Ninh Binh, especially after the merger and expansion of its administrative area, possesses a large population and abundant workforce, creating a significant advantage in terms of costs and labor supply for investors.

3.1. Population Size and Density

Target Scale (After merger/expansion) Evaluate
Total Population Approximately over 3 million people (Estimated figure, including merged areas) Large scale operations create a plentiful supply of local labor.
Workforce Over 3 million people are of working age. The workforce is large, with nearly 70% living in rural areas, where significant economic structural transformation is taking place.
Population Density The population density is high compared to the national average. High population density provides the foundation for a potential domestic consumer market and ensures employment opportunities in the vicinity of industrial parks.

3.2. Labor Quality and Structure

1. Labor Structure

  • Positive shift: The proportion of the workforce employed in agriculture is gradually decreasing, with the goal of falling below 20% by 2030 .
  • Training completion rate:
    • The overall rate of trained workers reached approximately 5% (in 2023).
    • The percentage of people with degrees or certificates reached approximately 8% (in 2023), and the province aims to increase this to 35-40% by 2030 .

2. Rate of Aging

  • Vietnam in general, and Ninh Binh in particular, is experiencing rapid population aging , meaning the proportion of elderly people is increasing. Vietnam officially entered the population aging phase in 2011.
  • Significance: Although Ninh Binh still has an abundant workforce, investors need a clear strategy for automation and skills training to cope with the long-term trend of declining young labor and rising labor costs.

3.3. Conclusion on Human Resources and Consumption Advantages

–       Advantages for Investors

  • Competitive Labor Costs: An abundant workforce, especially in the transforming rural areas, helps Ninh Binh maintain reasonable wages and labor costs compared to “core” industrial provinces like Bac Ninh and Bac Giang.
  • Stable Supply: The large population size ensures a stable supply of labor for large-scale projects, especially in labor-intensive industries (such as textiles, footwear, and assembly) and the developed automotive engineering industry.
  • Consumer Market: A large population creates a potential domestic consumer market , supporting businesses that produce consumer goods.

–       Disadvantages and Challenges

  • Skills Gap: There is a clear mismatch between supply and demand : the province prioritizes attracting high-tech projects, but the proportion of workers with degrees and certifications (quality labor) is still low compared to the requirements.
  • Training pressure: Investors need to proactively invest in retraining the newly transitioned rural workforce to meet the technical requirements of the manufacturing and high-tech industries.

Vinasc Real believes that Ninh Binh is the optimal choice for industries requiring a large workforce at low costs in the short term. In the long term, we recommend that high-tech investors leverage the province’s network of vocational schools and develop their own collaborative training programs to prepare for future human resources.
