Abstract

Developing a high-quality workforce is considered a cornerstone factor in ensuring the advancement, deep integration, sustainability, and stability of the economy in the era of digital economic growth. Being in a golden period of population structure with abundant human resources, a young labor force, Vietnam can welcome diverse opportunities for developing skilled and high-quality human resources. However, the current situation shows that high-quality human resources still face many shortcomings that do not meet the requirements of the economy. Promoting the transformation of the labor structure towards developing specialized and technically skilled human resources, linking training quality with labor demand, and enhancing labor force management in a modern direction, especially in the context of digital economic development, plays a crucial role in Vietnam’s economic model. Currently, the Vietnamese economy is gradually approaching the digital economy as a suitable step to promote rapid and sustainable economic growth in Vietnam. In this study, the author will focus on analyzing and evaluating the current high-quality human resources in Vietnam while also outlining the opportunities and challenges in developing the digital economy, thereby suggesting some solutions for developing qualified workforce in the context of digital economic development.
