The Contribution of Female Labor Supply to Urban Economic Growth - A Perspective from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)

Women’s labor plays a crucial role in a locality's socioeconomic landscape and can be understood through three key characteristics: quantity, quality, and structure. Ho Chi Minh City is a primary international gateway that receives advanced scientific and technological achievements from developed countries. Therefore, women’s labor—particularly female human resources—contributes significantly to the city’s production, business, and service activities. In recent years, the rapid development of the Industry 4.0 technological revolution has directly affected women workers, necessitating adjustments to keep pace with ongoing changes. Research on the structure and quality of women’s labor helps scholars better understand this group in the historical development of the Saigon–Ho Chi Minh City region.
