Where Is Vietnam’s Logistics Workforce Falling Short in the Digital and Green Supply-Chain Era?

Logistics is one of Vietnam’s fastest-growing sectors, expanding at an estimated 14–16 percent annually, yet human resources have become a worrying bottleneck. According to the Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA), the industry will need over 200,000 workers by 2030, while current supply meets only around 40 percent of demand, and just 5–7 percent of employees have received formal, specialised training in logistics.
