Hiring in Myanmar

Known as Burma until 1989, Myanmar is known for its extensive unspoiled countryside, rich history and amazing pagodas, including the Shwedagon Pagoda, covered entirely in gold. Myanmar has appeared regularly in Western media in recent years thanks to a military coup that saw an end to a period of liberalisation in the 2010s and resulted in a growing humanitarian crisis.

Myanmar’s economy is still heavily centred on the capital Yangon, despite the construction of the new administrative capital of Naypyidaw in 2005, an entirely new city created to improve devolution and regional powers. Myanmar’s economy is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with petroleum, garments and precious metals making up the majority of Myanmar’s exports.

Hiring in Myanmar is still problematic thanks to a large share of Myanmar’s economy being largely informal, and with little in the way of contracts or employment law. Corruption is widespread and many workers live below the poverty line.
