Labour Force

Cambodia's low labour costs are attractive to foreign investors. About 45% of Cambodia's population of 11.7 million is of working age, while over 60% of the work force comprises women. The minimum wage rate for unskilled workers is currently around US$45 per month.

1. ALIEN EMPLOYEES

Investors are permitted to bring into Cambodia foreign nationals who are:
- Qualified managerial personnel
- Technical personnel
- Skilled workers

A Law on Immigration was passed by the National Assembly on 26 August 1994. According to Article 28 of the Law, foreigners who have already received a "letter of investment approval" from the CDC, will be allowed to stay in Cambodia, together with their families, for a period stated in the letters of investment approval.

2. RELEVANT LABOUR LAW
