Abstract: Abstract Despite the recent economic successes of Vietnam, it still remains a very poor and primarily rural society. In 1990 it had a per capita income of about US$200 (in 1992, this income was US$220), which is among the lowest in Asia and the subcontinent. By comparison, in 1992, the per capita income was US$6,300 for South Korea, US$7,380 for Taiwan, US$1,575 for Thailand, US$2,700 for Malaysia, and US$625 for Indonesia.
