Vietnam ranks 37.6 in the Gini coefficient index, with the top 10% accounting for 30.2% of the nation’s income and the bottom 10% receiving 3.2%. In 2008, 14% of the population lives below the national poverty line of US$1.15 per day.〔(Worldbank Data-Vietnam.Retrieved on 12 February 2012 )〕 ==Rural poverty== Fig 1. Poverty rate by rural-urban residence, 1993-2004 (in percentage) Source: VLSS 1992/93, 1997/98; VHLSS 2002, 2004. Gross Domestic Product have been growing at an average of 7.5% from 2000-2008 and the country was able to reduce poverty fate from 58.1% in the 1990s to 14% in 2008.〔(UN-Vietnam-Basic Statistics.Retrieved on 12 February 2012. )〕 While the country grows and overall poverty drops, the rich urban dwellers benefitted more than their rural counterparts and a wide income disparity exist between the rich and poor. The regions with the highest relative poverty rates include the north-west, north-central, central highlands, central coast and north-east.〔(World Bank-Rural Poverty in Viet Nam.Retrieved on 12 February 2012. )〕 People in these regions do not have the resources to conduct agricultural activities, which is the main source of income for the majority of the rural people. The poorest rural people live in remote areas with small plots of low quality land that is unsuitable for farming. Similarly, people living along the coastal line are faced with harsh climate conditions that restrict their opportunity for farming. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social issues in Vietnam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
