VIENTIANE, May 10 (Xinhua) -- Lao authorities are seeking solutions to tackle the labor shortage, which has affected business operations across Laos.

Officials from the Lao Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, Lao Federation of Trade Unions, and the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Thursday discussed ways to address the labor shortage and a cooperation plan to solve the problem in the future, Lao National Radio reported on Friday.

Employers in many fields are suffering from a shortage of staff after Lao nationals flocked to other countries in search of higher wages and better working conditions.

Private companies in Laos have asked the government to take action to resolve the worker shortage, as more and more young people are seeking work in other countries. Enditem
