Thirdly, the number of farmers switching to new industries is low; the quality, stability and sustainability of jobs for farmers after land recovery is not high Fourthly, labor export results is low (only accounted for 2% of the total labor getting jobs annually). Fifthly, the operation of the employment service centers are not really effective.

Thus, in the coming years, the agricultural land area in Hanoi will decrease over 36,000 ha. Based on calculations of the Ministry of Labour - Invalids and Social Welfare once each hectare of agricultural land is revoked, 13 people will lose their jobs. This means in the coming time in Hanoi approximately 468,000 farmers will lose their jobs due to land recovery. This will greatly impact the balance of jobs supply demand and create pressure for the city in job creation for the people whose agricultural land is revoked. 4.1.2.
