An inclusive growth path – rapid, sustainable growth that leaves no one behind - is key to achieve overall progress in human development
Three pillars which define an inclusive growth strategy: expanding productive employment; improving the educational and health care system; and renovating the social protection system.
To expand productive employment, Viet Nam needs to maintain macroeconomic stability; increase economic efficiency and enhance connectivity and technological readiness as well as nurturing innovation.
Viet Nam needs to improve the the quality and access to pre-primary, higher education and vocational training; and undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the socialization reforms prior to any further expansion.
To renovate the social protection system, Viet Nam needs to secure a floor level of cover – via universal health insurance; a self-financed social insurance system; and expanded social assistance based on Life Cycle entitlements.
We need to focus both on the poor and the vulnerable lower middle income group - whose incomes are not substantially above the poverty line, who typically work in informal jobs, are urban migrants or small scale farmers.
Viet Nam’s renewed development success rests on it building an inclusive and equitable economy - and that the route to this lies in full employment based on decent jobs, and opportunity and security for all.
Viet Nam’s performance in terms of human development has been impressive over the last 35 years but progress varied between periods and has slowed down in recent years.
The index rapidly increased later and Viet Nam was a star performer in the 1990-2000 period, but the gap was never closed.
All provinces made positive progress but this was not even, with some performing much better than others. Those that did best, experienced balanced development- economic development went hand in hand with improved social outcomes.
