WEBVTT 00:00:03.625 --> 00:00:08.085 Ms. Le Thi Bich Hoa is a teacher, her husband is a worker at Quang Minh industrial park. 00:00:08.745 --> 00:00:12.856 Because she could not afford to buy her own house, her family chose to rent a 00:00:12.856 --> 00:00:15.425 worker's house at CT1B building, Kim Trung, Dong Anh, Hanoi. 00:00:15.885 --> 00:00:18.632 Renting a house and living there from the beginning, I was too familiar with 00:00:18.632 --> 00:00:20.005 the scene of falling from the elevator. 00:00:20.545 --> 00:00:24.162 Sometimes having to walk up dozens of floors every day, Ms. Bich Hoa admitted 00:00:24.162 --> 00:00:26.745 that even when buying a house at a preferential price, 00:00:27.145 --> 00:00:30.205 Her family also will not choose to buy in similar areas. 00:00:30.845 --> 00:00:36.565 From 2019, if I had to buy an apartment like this, I probably wouldn't buy it. 00:00:36.565 --> 00:00:43.477 As you can see in the ones in the hallway, or the ones inside, I actually 00:00:43.477 --> 00:00:45.205 find them quite poor. 00:00:45.785 --> 00:00:51.185 Actually, because we haven't bought a house yet, we're renting temporarily. 00:00:51.385 --> 00:00:56.125 And when we have the conditions, we will buy it elsewhere. 00:00:56.365 --> 00:00:58.705 But in fact the volume is actually quite poor. 00:00:58.705 --> 00:01:03.399 Every few days the bricks explode, the bricks keep pushing themselves up while 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:05.205 the elevator is not safe. 00:01:05.665 --> 00:01:10.898 The elevator is almost always broken down and falls freely several 00:01:10.898 --> 00:01:12.325 times a month. 00:01:12.565 --> 00:01:13.685 There, very dangerous. 00:01:14.085 --> 00:01:17.865 Almost everyone here has to choose to take the stairs for safety. 00:01:19.394 --> 00:01:23.214 Housing project for workers in Thang Long industrial park, Kim Trung, Dong Anh, Hanoi 00:01:23.214 --> 00:01:28.140 is the first and only project in the country, with a scale of about 20 00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:29.454 hectares, built for workers. 00:01:29.994 --> 00:01:33.554 However, after a period of operation, the project has revealed many limitations. 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:39.460 Which worker housing can be the type that is sold exclusively to workers? 00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:41.620 But just for temporary rental like this 00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:44.880 But for those that are built temporarily like this 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.480 Then I see that the quality is not good. 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.460 To call it temporary is ok. 00:01:49.460 --> 00:01:50.540 Long term then no 00:01:51.355 --> 00:01:54.692 Expensive housing and low income cannot help workers settle down and stabilize 00:01:54.692 --> 00:01:59.420 their lives, so many workers admit that they do not have the need to stay in the 00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:03.035 industrial park and will consider returning to their hometowns in the long run. 00:02:04.282 --> 00:02:10.802 Or it means that a week ago the elevator was broken, but now it's working fine. 00:02:10.942 --> 00:02:14.822 People say that while walking, their teeth suddenly fell out. 00:02:15.082 --> 00:02:21.882 For example, this floor, because it's my floor, it just exploded. 00:02:22.142 --> 00:02:25.042 It was exploded by bricks, it was pressed against it, it exploded all the bricks. 00:02:25.262 --> 00:02:29.112 If housing for workers were easier to buy and more interesting, would I choose 00:02:29.112 --> 00:02:31.862 to stay in the city to work for my job? 00:02:31.862 --> 00:02:33.022 I am not from the countryside. 00:02:34.282 --> 00:02:40.042 Because people living in the countryside feel more peaceful and more comfortable. 00:02:40.478 --> 00:02:43.509 The first measure is to rent to people, rent to the government for support, 00:02:43.509 --> 00:02:46.323 workers' salaries are very low, people do not have enough money to raise 00:02:46.323 --> 00:02:47.838 children, how can they rent a house. 00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:53.658 Those who can afford it can buy it. The third type is installment sales. After a 00:02:53.658 --> 00:02:57.483 certain number of years, people will pay in installments, and then the 00:02:57.483 --> 00:02:58.758 house will become theirs. 00:02:58.918 --> 00:03:00.618 That option is the optimal option. 00:03:00.998 --> 00:03:04.798 In terms of administrative procedures for renting, borrowing, and selling 00:03:04.798 --> 00:03:09.738 houses, there must be transparency and opportunities for workers to access them quickly. 00:03:09.738 --> 00:03:14.181 But there should not be too much of a routine, workers are busy with work, 00:03:14.181 --> 00:03:17.438 they do not have time to take care of administrative procedures. 00:03:17.638 --> 00:03:20.550 Therefore, we must support workers, reduce all administrative procedures, 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:24.754 create opportunities for people to have early access to housing, so that people 00:03:24.754 --> 00:03:27.018 have the conditions to work and prosper. 00:03:27.712 --> 00:03:30.652 The Hanoi City Labor Federation said that there is currently a serious 00:03:30.652 --> 00:03:32.612 shortage of housing for workers in the area. 00:03:33.112 --> 00:03:36.291 The whole city currently has nearly 170,000 industrial park workers, of 00:03:36.291 --> 00:03:38.892 which people from other provinces account for about 80%. 00:03:38.892 --> 00:03:42.732 However, the city only has 3 industrial parks, including Thach That, Thang 00:03:42.732 --> 00:03:44.012 Long and Phu Nghia, 00:03:44.392 --> 00:03:48.247 There is a housing project for workers, meeting nearly 20% of the 00:03:48.247 --> 00:03:49.532 housing needs of workers. 00:03:50.032 --> 00:03:54.292 About 80% of workers do not have housing and have to rent houses built by 00:03:54.292 --> 00:03:55.712 local people in residential areas. 00:03:55.712 --> 00:04:00.560 Social housing projects for workers are few and in fact do not meet 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.052 the needs of workers.
