Three-poster salary, three dong, female workers are afraid to love, “bored” of getting married
The Ho Chi Minh City Labor Confederation and the National Union of Ho Chi Minh City National University have just announced a survey on the life of female workers in the textile and garment industry. The survey showed that married female workers accounted for 61.4%, female workers were single 28.8% and 8.1% of female workers were divorced or separated. Besides working, the majority of female workers spend their time doing housework (67.7%), two other activities with a high percentage of female workers choosing to watch TV (46.3%) and sleep (41.7%). . “No time for love” is the answer chosen by many female workers.
No date time
Ms. Vo Hoang Ly (30 years old, native of Vinh Long), employee of PouYuen Vietnam Co., Ltd (Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City), said that her age in her hometown is considered by many people to be “poor”. After the shift, I went to the market to buy some food to prepare dinner, and it was already 19 o’clock. After this time, Ly mainly surfs Facebook and sleeps early to regain her strength, so she has no time to think about dating.
Like Ms. Ly, due to the precarious income, the majority of workers have almost no savings, so they have not thought about getting married despite the family’s urging. At the age of 28, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang (from Tra Vinh), employee of Freetrend Co., Ltd (Linh Trung I Export Processing Zone, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City), still “no shadow” while her friends in the countryside already have husbands. and give birth. Hang is the oldest child in the family, after her there are two children of school age. Every month, she works overtime a lot, she sends most of her salary back to her hometown to take care of her parents and feed her children to school.
Referring to the matter of her husband and children, she laughed off: “Now that I’m healthy, I’ll take care of my parents and take care of my 2 children, when it’s okay, I’ll calculate it. Working overtime means I don’t have money to send back to my hometown. Now that I’m married and have children, I don’t know what to do.” For a few months now, in order to save money, Hang decided to share a room with a friend from the same company.
Le Thi Thuy just wants to be healthy enough to work, take care of her children, afraid to get married again
Just wish to have health to work
At the end of the shift, Ms. La Thi Yen (33 years old, from Ha Tinh), an employee of Long Rich Company Limited (Linh Trung II Export Processing Zone, Thu Duc City), hurriedly stopped by a family group to pick up her 5-year-old daughter. Yen is a single mother, divorced for 2 years.
Yen said it was very difficult to break off the marriage relationship with her husband who drank and gambled in the countryside. When she first fell in love and married, her husband was also an honest, hardworking person. The outbreak of Covid-19 caused her husband to lose his job, and was led by bad friends into gambling and betting. How much money you save will “wear a hat” and leave. The culmination was that the creditor came to the house to paint and threaten, she had to sell the house her parents built for them when they were newly married and then decided to divorce, holding their children alone in Ho Chi Minh City to work as a worker. When it comes to remarriage, she just kept quiet.
Her husband suddenly passed away, leaving Ms. Le Thi Thuy (40 years old, from Thanh Hoa) struggling. People in the countryside are also in trouble and can’t help, so she decided to take her two children to the South to find a livelihood. With no capital, no degree, she sold lottery tickets and peanuts to earn a living. In her free time, she receives goods to the tailor’s house for processing. The monthly rent, living expenses and child support forced her to work hard, with almost no time off. “Now I only live for my two children, not thinking about walking anymore. I just want to be healthy enough to work and have money to feed my two children” – Ms. Thuy confided.
Create opportunities to make friends for female employees
According to Ms. Le Thi Kim Thuy, Vice President of Ho Chi Minh City Confederation of Labor, falling in love – leading to marriage and building a happy family is everyone’s right and natural need. However, that demand for most industries in IZs and EPZs is not easy. Many CN women confided that they wanted to love but did not dare to marry. When getting married, they also do not dare to have children for fear of not being able to raise them. In fact, many female workers after giving birth have to send their children back to their hometown to be cared for by their parents.
From the survey results, the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation suggested that unions work together to build a model of making friends, learn about pre-marriage, etc. to create conditions for female workers to have time to exchange and find a life partner between them. businesses with a male and female population. At the same time, businesses and units should also create conditions for workers to have fun and entertain; supporting female workers with families and small children, female workers who are divorced or separated are given priority to buy or rent social housing.
