Parties to the Conclusion of Employment Contracts Under Vietnamese Law and Legislative Experiences for the Lao People’s Democratic Republic

The parties to an employment contract constitute a pivotal element in ensuring the legality and fairness of labour relations. Vietnamese law, particularly the Labour Code of 2019, has established a relatively comprehensive legal framework that effectively protects employees’ rights and ensures transparency in the conclusion of employment contracts. Based on an analysis of the provisions of Vietnamese labour law, this article draws valuable legislative experiences aimed at improving the regulation of parties to employment contracts under the Labour Law of 2013 of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, thereby contributing to the development of a clear, feasible, and sustainable legal system that meets the requirements of integration and development.
