ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, the Vietnamese economy witnessed positive changes in building a market economy. During this transition, achievements in improving production efficiency, management and export have partly proved the flexible responses of all economic actors along the path of Doi Moi policy. That is the visible part of the iceberg. Below, attention should also be paid to the income distribution aspect of the economy, which is one of the major concerns of the economy besides the allocation of resources in production and consumption. This chapter will examine the problem of income disparities:
• among different regions of the country; and • between urban and rural area for each region.
