Resumen
Descripción
Along with remarkable achievements in
reducing poverty during the past decade, Vietnam's
social and economic development policies have placed much
emphasis on promoting gender equality. From a perspective of
gender equality, women in Vietnam are considered in a
relatively favorable position compared with women in other
developing countries or other developed Asian countries,
with a high rate of women's labor force participation
and a high degree of women's representation in
political positions including the national assembly. With
the new law on gender equality passed in November 2006, more
policy efforts are called for in achieving gender equality
in both public and private spheres of people's lives.
In this context, it is all the more important to have
up-to-date information on various indicators of gender
equality in order to accurately assess the current situation
of gender disparities in Vietnam. This task is essential for
formulating policies that address specific problem areas of
gender disparities, and for developing effective strategies
for implementing and monitoring gender equality policies.
The main objective of this report is to examine key
indicators of women's social and economic lives with
the most recent data, so that the authors have a better
understanding of the nature and the extent of gender
inequality in contemporary Vietnam. This will help to
evaluate progress made thus far and identify areas for
current and future challenges toward gender equality.
