Social Security for the Elderly in Vietnam Today

  • NGUYEN DINH TUAN

Tóm tắt

Currently, Vietnam is one of the countries with the fastest aging population in the world. This has been posing challenges to ensuring social security for the elderly, including proper economic conditions (income), access to social services and healthcare. Most elderly people neither have pensions nor receive social allowances or health insurance cards. Meanwhile, they have high needs for medical examinations and treatment and have to pay more for healthcare. This has entailed an urgent need to extend social security for the elderly in Vietnam in the context of increasing aging population nowadays.
