This study explores and analyzes how the social security (SS) system contributes to job security (JS) for female workers in the Mekong Delta. The findings reveal a relatively high level of job security among female workers, a low job turnover rate, and strong employee retention. Regression analysis confirms the positive impact of four key components of the SS system: employment stability, social insurance, hardship allowance, and access to basic social services. However, several challenges persist, including the lowest national rate of vocational training among female workers, a rising number of one-time social insurance withdrawals, and income disparities between industrial zones. A comprehensive implementation of solutions is highly recommended across all four dimensions of social security, with close coordination among the central government, local authorities, and enterprises.
