Abstract: This study provides an introduction to major discussions and core findings on inequalities in Viet Nam, drawing on a review of recent research, consideration of how inequality is discussed in legal documents, and an analysis of inequality using household survey data from Viet Nam. Inequality is widely mentioned in legal documents. As of May 2024, there are 443 legal documents that mention the term 'gap between the poor and the rich' and 2,200 legal documents mentioning the term 'social equity'. The term 'gender equality' is mentioned in 6,744 legal documents.
