Social Insurance: A Cornerstone of Vietnam’s Social Security System

Social insurance (SI) is a cornerstone of the Vietnamese government’s social security system, reflecting a deep commitment to the well-being of its citizens. This crucial policy ensures a stable life for workers, mitigating financial burdens during retirement, illness, maternity leave, work-related accidents, occupational diseases, unemployment, and death.

The Importance of Social Insurance for Workers

SI provides numerous tangible benefits for workers. Participating in SI grants access to retirement pensions, ensuring a stable income after retirement. Furthermore, SI supports workers during illness, maternity leave, work-related accidents, and occupational diseases, alleviating healthcare costs. For those facing unemployment, SI offers assistance to navigate financial challenges while seeking new employment. The pre-retirement policy of 2019 is a vital component of the SI system, providing flexibility for workers.

Social insurance also contributes to societal stability and fosters sustainable economic development. When workers have social security, they can focus on their jobs and contribute to society, boosting productivity and economic growth.

Social Insurance: A Safety Net for All

SI is not limited to employees in companies but extends to all members of society, including freelancers, farmers, and informal sector workers. This reflects the humane and inclusive nature of SI, aiming to build a just society with social security for all citizens. The SI scheme for children of policy beneficiaries exemplifies the government’s commitment to supporting policy beneficiaries.

Expanding SI coverage strengthens the sustainability of the social security system. With greater participation, the SI fund is reinforced, ensuring resources to provide benefits to workers.
