The paper analyses the current situation of employment and industrial relations in Vietnam, including minimum wages and regulations. The results show that the trend of the labour movement from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors, as well as from public to private sectors, is increasingly evident in the country today. At the same time, the impacts of international integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution are affecting employment structures and industrial relations, requiring timely adjustments in national policies and laws. The author proposes some solutions to address emerging issues regarding employment and industrial relations in the context of Vietnam’s international integration.
