Abstract:

The development orientation of Vietnam since the 10th Congress of the Party has pointed out "economic growth must be associated with social progress and justice in every step of development". Do we have any practical basis to believe that this goal is achievable? The answer is yes, and not just one. The policy is clear that we have not chosen to trade off equality for growth, but how is this in actual life? The analysis of the article shows that we have strictly followed the policy set out by the 10th Party Congress, on the right track on the way to achieving the dual goal of growth and social equity. By learning from the experiences of countries that have achieved outstanding achievements, combined with existing policy directions, it will enhance our ability to achieve this goal.
