Poverty rate falling as services improve, 2014 survey finds
The poverty rate has reduced dramatically in rural households from 27.1 per cent in 2012 to 13.2 per cent in 2014 while access to public services such as vocational and educational training and health care has improved.
This was revealed at a workshop held on 26 August in Hanoi to review a survey on rural household’s access to resources.
The Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey was conducted between June and July last year in provinces Nghe An, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Phu Tho, Quang Nam, Long An and ex-Ha Tay.
