Question 28: Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

A. Economic instability and corporate shifts have led to widespread layoffs in Vietnam, particularly affecting middle-aged workers, yet some respond proactively by retraining and adapting to overcome age-related and market-driven employment challenges.

B. The main reason for job losses among Vietnamese middle-aged professionals is their individual deficiencies, leading most to struggle finding re-employment since they cannot match the ambition and modern skills of younger candidates in the competitive market.

C. Even with extensive job cuts in Vietnamese manufacturing, the majority of older employees—such as directors and managers—rapidly secure jobs of equal or higher standing, capitalizing on their long tenure of experience and proven dedication to previous companies.

D. The middle-aged labor force in Vietnam is flourishing despite economic difficulties, because employers increasingly favor the expertise and reliability of older staff over junior applicants, despite the perceived higher adaptability of the latter group.
