Highlights
Despite its success in economic growth and poverty reduction, Viet Nam still faces many challenges such as inequality in living standards among population groups, urbanization, climate change and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Children are a vulnerable group, which are more affected by poverty than adults. Lack of nutrition, education, access to hygienic latrines and clean water will negatively affect children's health and education for life. The main research objective of this report is to update the current situation and trends in multidimensional child poverty in the period 2014-2018. Our analysis is disaggregated by age and gender of children, ethnicity, geography, and especially by disability status of children.
