CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation of data gathered that would answer the problems stated in the previous chapter The data and statistical findings are presented and given implications to concretize the concepts

PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS

In 2012, in Thai Nguyen province, 2665 people have signed

up and were decided to unemployment insurance regimes 348 employees of them have been selected as respondents of the questionnaire This section presents statistics and analyses of profile

of the respondents according to the criteria: age, sex, types of units that worked before unemployment, type of labor contract/ work

contract had been signed before the unemployment, salary (according to the labor contract/ work contract) before the unemployment, current job status, duration has participated in unemployment insurance, times entitled to unemployment insurance

THE IMPLEMENTATTON OF UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE IN THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE

This section analyzes, explains, comments on the outstanding issues, finds out the difference in the perception and evaluation of the three groups of respondents in the subject matters

of unemployment insurance

Synthesis of the results, we see that, in the assesment of the respondents, the implementation of unemployment insurance in Thai Nguyen province is not really good

We also can see the difference in the perception and evaluation of the three groups of respondents in the subject matter of the unemployment insurance

Among three groups of respondents, employees in service units of the State always understand, evaluate and implement unemployment insurance in a more positive level, employees in large enterprises assess issues lower threads and employees in small and medium enterprises evaluate lower level However, the overall result is often "proximity" with the results of the group of employees in small and medium enterprises, because they account for the high rate of unemployment, and a high proportion of this survey

Those differences shown in the analysis of variances results The differences in the assessment of this issue can be explained by several reasons First, the law has recognized the right

to participate and receive UI for most employees in service units of

the state, but they "missed" a lot of people working in business, especially small enterprises, use less of labor, duration of labor contracts are short, Besides, the propagation of labor legislation, including UI policy, in services units of the state has always been more focused, employees in this type of unit have better knowledge (because of job requirements) The contribution to the UI fund and

UI regimes, although the law does not make any distinction between workers belonging to different groups, but the implementation is very different between three groups of employers (of three groups of respondents) The procedures for UI regimes for all workers are the same, but the implementation is affected quite largely by the responsibility of the employers, but this is different between the three groups of employers From here, we can also see that, in the implementation of UI policy, there are many things that businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, should learn the service units of the State
