How does Vietnam's public safety
net affect outcomes for the poor? Although social welfare
programs in Vietnam are centrally mandated, they are locally
implemented according to local norms and local poverty
standards and often rely heavily on local financing. The
author examines the coverage, incidence, and horizontal
equity of the programs that can be identified in the data
from the Vietnam Living Standards Survey. She looks at the
role of location in determining whether the poor are
assisted nationally. And she explores dynamic incidence
between 1993 and 1998 and the degree to which programs
performed a safety net function. The author's analysis
shows that coverage and payments to households are low and
have had a negligible impact on poverty. In principle,
better targeting could improve the impact of current
outlays. The analysis also shows that the system was
ineffective in protecting households that were vulnerable to
shocks. Finally, the results suggest that although there is
a greater concentration of poverty-related programs and
greater household participation in poorer communes, the
system spends more (absolutely and relatively) on the poor
in richer communes. |
