In particular, it has focused on building breakthrough institutions to streamline the apparatus, arrange administrative units at all levels, organize 2-level local governments, and build a civil service, civil servant, labor, employment and social insurance regime.

The work on organizational structure, cadres, civil servants and administrative reform has achieved many important results, which is a bright spot, marking a breakthrough. The results of the reorganization of the Government's organizational structure: reducing 5 ministries and ministerial-level agencies (down 22.7%); reducing 3 government agencies (down 37.5%).

More than 1,065 tasks were proposed for decentralization by ministries and branches; more than 1,065 tasks and authorities were reviewed and proposed for decentralization by ministries and ministerial-level agencies, ensuring the principle of "locality decides, locality does, locality is responsible". The development space of localities was reorganized more reasonably, the sea-oriented development mindset was affirmed, which is an important premise for connection and integration.

Personnel work has been strongly innovated, streamlining the payroll associated with restructuring the team. By July 31, 2025, nearly 90,000 cadres, civil servants, and public employees have been arranged and streamlined. Policies to encourage dynamic and creative cadres and attract talented people have been issued. Unnecessary certificate requirements have been reduced, which has been highly appreciated by public opinion. During the term, more than 4 million cadres, civil servants, and public employees have been trained.

The fields of labor, employment; wages and social insurance; youth work and gender equality have made remarkable progress. The unemployment rate has always been maintained at a low level of below 3%. Labor productivity increased by an average of 5.1%/year. Laborers working abroad increased by an average of 10%/year; the regional minimum wage increased by an average of 5.96%/year. The basic salary was adjusted to 2.34 million VND (an increase of over 57% compared to 2021).

The social insurance policy system is increasingly improved, with expanded coverage; youth development strategies and programs are effectively implemented. Vietnam's gender equality ranking index in 2023 ranked 72/146 countries, up 15 places compared to 2021.

The policy of caring for people with meritorious services to the revolution effectively and promptly has been fully and promptly implemented.
