Cambodia’s labour market unfazed by AEC
As ASEAN member states race to get ready for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) integration later this month, one of the pillars of the new economic bloc is the free flow of skilled labour across borders, with Cambodian industry experts unperturbed by the possibility of this leading to a skilled labour exodus from the Kingdom.
The new economic community outlines the facilitation of labour migration across ASEAN, thereby increasing the mobility of workers to fill labour shortages in the region, though only in eight selected sectors – engineering, nursing, architecture, dentistry, medicine, tourism, land surveying and accounting.
