| description |
Viet Nam has undergone a major
socio-economic transformation over the past quarter century,
rising from one of the poorest countries in the world to a
middle income country. Today it continues to develop
rapidly, becoming more integrated with the global economy
and undergoing significant regulatory and structural
changes. Viet Nam has also made remarkable progress on
gender equality, but important gender differences still
remain. On the positive side Viet Nam has had considerable
progress in addressing gender disparities in education,
employment and health. The gender gap in earnings is lower
in Viet Nam than in many other East Asian countries. Indeed
by a number of measures, women's outcomes have improved
significantly. However, upon deeper examination of the data,
a number of challenges still remain. The report is organized
into five chapters. The current chapter has provided a
background to the report and the process through which it
has been prepared. The next three chapters will deal with
the substantive issues, focusing primarily on gender but
addressing ethnicity and other forms of social inequality
where relevant. Chapter two will provide an analysis of the
situation and trends in gender equality in relation to the
multiple dimensions of poverty, some of which are included
in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Chapter three
will provide an in-depth gender analysis of livelihoods and
employment, bearing in mind the likely impact of the recent
crisis as well as the challenges of transition to middle
income status. Chapter four will pick up on the issue of
women's political participation in leadership positions
and in the wider society. The final chapter will synthesize
the key findings of the report and prioritize key recommendations. |
