Background
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) professionals undertook an outreach campaign to inform former Cambodian workers returning from Thailand about the benefits of the social security system. This initiative is part of a collaborative effort involving the NSSF, the National Employment Agency (NEA) of the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Cambodian Youth Federation, and local administrations in Kratie and Kampong Thom provinces.
Scope of Application
The campaign targeted returning migrant workers in four key locations across two provinces: Snoul and Chhlong districts in Kratie province, and Prasat Balangk and Stoeng districts in Kampong Thom province. It ran over two full days from 14 to 15 February 2026.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The campaign disseminated information about the social security system’s benefits, including health care, occupational risk protection, pensions, and government subsidies. It also served as a platform to connect returning workers with local job opportunities and employers actively seeking thousands of workers. Additionally, vocational training counseling was provided to strengthen skills and improve household incomes.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
This campaign highlights the institutional role of NSSF and NEA in supporting labor reintegration and workforce development. Businesses and employers benefit from direct access to a pool of workers seeking employment domestically. It also demonstrates government coordination to enhance workforce skills and social protection coverage among returning migrant workers.
