7. Thesis Title: Distribution policies for the poors in Vietnam

Distribution policies for the poor people are not simply to reduce poverty monetarily but further to enable them to access resources that enhance their ability to participate in the labour markets. When the poors are capable of participating in the labour market, they have jobs and income. The thesis thus aims to analyse and point out the positive and negative aspects of the distribution policies for the poor people of Vietnam in the recent years and make recommendations to improve these policies in the near future so that they will really play great roles in poverty reduction in Vietnam.

Research objectives: The thesis researches distribution policies for the poor people in Vietnam as the tools to underpin economic development as well as the mechanism to exercise social advancement and fairness.

The resolutions that the thesis proposes may be applised in the formation and carrying out of poverty reduction policies in Vietnam.
