Chapter 6 in Vulnerability to Poverty, 2013, pp 136-159 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Vietnam, the fight against extreme poverty has been very successful in the past decade, with overall poverty incidence falling to 12.9 per cent, food poverty reduced by more than half since 1993, and the share of people living with less than PPP US1 per day reduced to 2 per cent (Table 6.1). Nonetheless, recent research has produced some doubts as to whether this trend will continue, with fears that it might slow down or even reverse (Gaiha et al., 2007). Furthermore, some groups were not able to benefit from the recent boom.
