10. Summary of thesis results:
Labor export has been and is an activity that contributes significantly to creating jobs for workers, reducing unemployment, eliminating hunger and reducing poverty, and increasing revenue for the Lao State budget. However, in order for labor export to be truly effective and have a long-term strategic value, it is necessary to consider the issue of creating jobs for exported workers whose contracts have expired and who have returned home.
In Lao PDR, there is a rich and abundant source of young labor. This is a strength in socio-economic development. Therefore, the concern for job creation and job stability for workers in general and for those who have returned from working abroad in particular is always one of the solutions to social development and is the target for socio-economic development set by the Party and the State.
Employment is always a matter of common concern for the whole society, because it has a direct impact on the lives of workers in general. Especially for those who return from working abroad, they will encounter many difficulties in the process of finding jobs in the country, do not know how to find information sources about the domestic labor market, information about jobs is limited. The jobs and occupations that they did abroad when they return home are not suitable or domestic enterprises do not have a need to use them. Therefore, workers will have difficulty finding suitable jobs or finding unstable jobs, they will even face the risk of unemployment. Therefore, businesses will waste high-quality human resources, not fully utilizing human resources.
Besides, there should be practical solutions to create jobs for workers returning from overseas in the capital Vientiane, such as vocational training policies, preferential policies in recruitment, policies to support business development...
In general, those who go to work abroad are all people who are bold in finding job opportunities and have the will to improve themselves. After working abroad, they have accumulated valuable skills. However, the education level of most workers is still low, only a small percentage of workers have received vocational training. Orientation education is one of the most important steps before sending workers to work abroad, but many labor export enterprises ignore it.
Currently, Laos does not have a specific policy for reintegrating workers when they return to take advantage of the skills and experience they have been trained abroad, as well as a policy to utilize the capital they have accumulated to invest in production and business.

11.Summary of the findings of the thesis:
Labor export has been operating a significant contribution in the work of creating jobs for workers, reducing unemployment, poverty, increasing revenues for the Lao government's budgets. However, in order to have a long-term strategic interest of effective export of labor, it needs to consider the problem of creating jobs for expired contracts of labor export when they return to home country.
Laos is a country which has a large number of younger workforces; especially they are significant workforces that can contribute to socio-economic development. Therefore, in general, helping and supporting such workforces to have permanent jobs is important, particularly workforces who come back from oversea because this has always been considered to be one of best solutions to the problems of social development and this is also an indicator of economic development - society as indicated by Lao government.
Employment has always been a concern of the whole society, because it has a direct impact on the lives of people in general. Especially for workforces who come back from oversea, they will face many difficulties in the process of finding employment in the country such as hardly identify sources of information on the domestic labor market, employment information is limited. The jobs and careers that they did in oversea do not match skills and sometimes domestic enterprises do not use their. Thus, they will be difficult to find suitable jobs or finding jobs are not stable. As a result, they will face the risk of unemployment. From other perspectives, enterprises will waste a high-quality of workforces and thoroughly waste advantage of human resources.
Hence, it needs to have practical solutions in order to create jobs for the workers who come back to home country – Vientiane such as vocational training policy, the priority policy in recruitment, policies support business development
Overall, workforces that seek new employment opportunities to go to work in oversea are significantly increasing. During working abroad, they will gain more or less their accumulated valuable skills. However, the level of education of the majority of labor is low, only a small percentage of workers were trained. Thus, the vocational education is one of the critical stages before sending these laborers to work overseas but labor export enterprises have ignored the training program me for them.
Currently, Laos has no specific policy for employees reintegration when they return to use the skills and experience they have been trained in foreign countries as well as take advantage of the capital they accumulated to top for production and business investment.
