ABSTRACT

Within the context of the Europe-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), this article analyses and compares Vietnamese labour law with core labour standards outlined within the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Therefore, it provides recommendations for future labour law reforms in Vietnam to satisfy labour commitments under the EVFTA and suggests further research directions. This study contributes to setting a model of legal research not only for Vietnam but also for other countries when negotiating within new-generation free trade agreements in terms of labour commitments.
