This research is about capacity development for labour inspection. Within the scope of this study, the capacity of the labour inspection could include the capability of all individuals, their organizations and resources. A major reason leads to this research is that labour inspection in Vietnam has been facing many challenges but it seems not to have an effective solution to resolve its issues. Many countries have made great efforts to address the shortcomings of the labour inspectorate but the problem would seem not to be improved significantly. A specific policy on capacity development for labour inspection of Vietnam was chosen for analysis in this research. Although this policy has been undertaken for four years, its implementation is limited and likely to come to failure. The research aims to examine the theoretical framework of capacity development, theoretical as well practical rationales of the policy of capacity development of labour inspection in Vietnam; identify challenges in labour inspection, especially in the case of Vietnam; and seek sound solutions for better implementation of the capacity development of labour inspection. The qualitative method was used for data analyzing. Overall, this study provides three main findings. First, policy-makers did not identify the challenges of labour inspection of Vietnam adequately when building the policy on capacity development for labour inspection. Second, this policy was not established based on the theoretical framework of capacity development. The last but not least is the policy on capacity development for labour inspection was not guaranteed by a specific financial plan. This study then proposed three recommendations corresponding to the three findings. They include identifying and dealing properly with the identified challenges in labour inspection, developing a theoretical framework for the capacity development policy, and sufficient financial resources for the implementation of the policy.

"Light Manufacturing in Vietnam makes the case that, if the country is to continue along a rapid economic growth path and create jobs, it must undertake a structural transformation that can lift workers from low-productivity agriculture and the mere assembly of imported inputs to higher-productivity activities. Vietnam needs to address fundamental issues in the manufacturing sector that, until now, have been masked by economic growth. The book shows that there is a dichotomy between domestic enterprises and enterprises supported by foreign direct investment. The dominant state-owned enterprises and foreign-invested firms are often not integrated with smaller, domestic firms through backward or forward links in the use of domestically produced inputs or intermediate products. Growth in the domestic light manufacturing sector has arisen from the sheer number of micro and small enterprises rather than from expansion in the number of medium and large firms. As a consequence, final products have little value added; technology and expertise are not shared; and the economy has failed to move up the structural transformation ladder. This structure of production is one of the reasons Vietnam's rapid process of industrialization over the last three decades has not been accompanied by a favorable trade balance"--
