Current State of Social Policies in Vietnam

Social policies play a crucial role in ensuring social security, improving people’s lives, and promoting sustainable socio-economic development. So, what is the current state of social policies in Vietnam? This article will delve deeper into this issue.

Achievements

Vietnam’s social policy system has made remarkable progress, significantly contributing to improving people’s lives. Policies on poverty reduction, health insurance, education, and employment have yielded positive results.

• The poverty rate has dropped sharply, from over 60% in the 1990s to under 3% currently (according to multidimensional poverty criteria).
• The number of people participating in health insurance has increased rapidly, reaching a coverage rate of nearly 92% of the population.
• Education has been universalized at all levels, with a literacy rate of over 95%.

Remaining Challenges

Despite the achievements, the current state of social policies still faces certain limitations.

• Coverage and sustainability of policies: Some policies have not yet covered all beneficiaries, especially vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and informal workers.
• Effectiveness and impact of policies: Policy implementation in some areas remains inadequate, failing to meet the actual needs of the people.
• Investment resources: Financial resources for social policies are still limited, not meeting the increasing demands of social security work.

Future Development Trends of Social Policies

In the context of deep international integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, social policies need to be renewed to adapt to societal changes.

• Expanding coverage and improving the quality of social services: Ensuring that all citizens have equal access to basic social services.
• Innovating management methods and policy implementation: Applying information technology in management and enhancing the capacity of social workers.
• Promoting the participation of the community and the private sector: Building a multi-level social governance model and mobilizing the participation of stakeholders in developing and implementing social policies.

Conclusion

The current state of social policies shows positive results while also posing new challenges. To improve the social policy system, it requires the joint efforts of the entire political system, all social strata, and the whole society.
