Policy Brief for Vietnam: Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index 2020

The Commitment to Reducing Inequality (CRI) Index 2020 is a multidimensional index which ranks 158 countries on their policy performance to reduce inequality through public services, progressive taxation and labour rights.

Overall, Vietnam does well on the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index (CRII) within ASEAN, coming second within ASEAN, and ranks 77 out of 158 countries this year globally.

Vietnam has a strong record of poverty reduction, but today, increasing inequality is threatening decades of progress. Economic inequality is reinforced by inequality of voice and opportunity, which are correlated to a decline in inter-generational social and employment mobility.
