According to the General Statistics Office, in 2023, people’s living standards, reflected in the average income per capita, will continue to increase compared to last year.
However, the growth rate will slow down compared to the increase in 2022 because the global economy as well as the Vietnamese economy continue to face many difficulties to overcome the consequences of the epidemic.
Social inequality still exists between urban and rural areas, regions and between low-income and high-income groups.
Therefore, in order for people’s lives to continue to improve in 2024, the Government and local authorities at all levels need to continue to effectively implement social security programs and policies. At the same time, create jobs for workers and have timely support policies for difficult people and weaker people in society.
