The city People’s Committee has asked the Ho Chi Minh city Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA) to work with relevant agencies in the city to accelerate the building of constructions that serve workers’ daily lives, especially pre-schools for their children, convenience stores and fast-food shops.

For export processing and industrial zones that are expected to be established, HEPZA will be responsible for checking the building of essential constructions so that they are fully integrated into the planning stage of the project.

Meanwhile, in existing export processing and industrial zones, the city strives to carry out constructions serving the lives of workers in every zone, including pre-schools for their children, medical stations, supermarkets, fast-food shops and cultural centres. The constructions aim to better workers’ standard of living.

At presents, in 12 export processing and industrial zones of the city, relevant agencies are pushing hard to complete the building of 12 pre-schools, 5 medical stations, 10 supermarkets, 6 fast-food shops and 4 cultural centres for workers. In addition, for insufficient constructions, HEPZA is conducting surveys and working with neighbouring districts to take advantage of essential constructions in situ, to serve the demand of workers.

In another move, the city People’s Committee has assigned HEPZA to carry out 3 programs caring for workers, including a program to increase the knowledge for labourers, one to care for workers’ material lives, and one to care for their spiritual lives.
