Abstract:

This paper analyzes the policies for the development and management of workers' lifestyles in industrial zones in Vietnam in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The rapid expansion of industrial zones has created job opportunities but has also posed significant challenges regarding working conditions, income, social welfare, and lifestyle transformations among workers. The research findings indicate that industrial zone planning must be accompanied by the development of social infrastructure, ensuring access to housing, healthcare, education, and worker support services.. At the same time, managingf workers' lifestyles should focus on work-life balance, enhancing cultural and spiritual well-being, and fostering a sustainable working environment. Research findings indicate that industrial zone planning must be accompanied by developing social infrastructure, ensuring access to housing, healthcare, education, and worker support services. In particular, the role of labor unions and worker support policies should be strengthened to reduce labor disputes and enhance workforce quality. The paper also proposes solutions for the effective development and management of workers' lifestyles, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of industrial zones and Vietnam's economy in the Industry 4.0 era.
