| Description | This report provides an analysis of gender differences in Viet Nam in the context of the economic transition to a market economy. It analyses data taken from the 1997-98 Viet Nam Living Standards Survey in the light of gender inequalities in household structures, living standards, income, education and health and poverty. The report concludes that there is a need for policy measures to address social norms and economic disparities between men and women particularly in the case of rural women. Gender-specific interventions are required which take into account the decisions that women and men make around the demand and supply of goods and services in the context of specific market and employment conditions. Such interventions include the balance of taxation, policies around direct provision of goods and services and income transfer. Policies should not be directed at households without acknowledging the 'hidden' gender inequalities within households and data is therefore needed on intra-household resource allocation and how it relates to income generation. There is also a need for more data on different geographical contexts, ethnic minority issues, credit facilities, unemployment and domestic violence. More gender disaggregated statistics are also needed to support the national Strategy for the Advancement of Women and the dissemination of research must be prioritised |
