Abstract
Gender inequality negatively impacts the opportunities of female workers in the labor market and the society's sustainability. Since the participation of women in the workforce characterizes more difficulties compared to men, empowering female workers with fair access to job opportunities means advancing gender equality as well as sustainable development. Against this backdrop, this study aims to provide critical suggestions for perfecting the Vietnam Labor Code to increase the workforce’s gender equality. Accordingly, although the new Labor Law is updated with innovative provisions about protecting and empowering female workers, the gender gap in Vietnam's Labor market still pervasively remains and this problem therefore prevents sustainable development. Based on the theoretical relationship between empowering and protecting female workers, gender equality, and sustainable development goals, a critical view of establishing the new approach to gender equality and the accountability of businesses toward this issue is presented.
