VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN): Some 17,000 garment workers in Laos will each receive emergency income support of 900,000 kip (about US$100) to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The money will help workers who lost income and support business continuity while reducing employers’ staff turnover costs.
Funding support of US$1.8 million has been provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development with technical support from the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
An event to launch the garment workers’ income support programme in response to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic took place in Vientiane on Tuesday.
Those present included the Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Welfare, Padeumphone Sonthany; German Ambassador to Laos, Jens Lütkenherm; Director of the ILO Country Office for Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, Graeme Buckley; and Director General of the Lao Social Security Organisation, Keo Chamthavixay.
