While Vietnam has now reached lower
middle-income country status, the gaps between the ethnic
minority population and the majority group are evident and
widening over time. In addition, ethnic minority groups are
different in terms of where they are in these gaps. This
study attempts to examine why and how certain ethnic groups
have managed to rise to the ‘top’ as ‘best performers’ while
the other groups seem to stand on the ‘bottom’ as ‘least
performers. The key study questions are: (1) What are
drivers of the socio-economic development of the different
ethnic groups? (2) Why have some ethnic minority groups
successfully managed to escape poverty while others have
lagged far behind? (3) How have such factors have been
addressed in the respective policies and designated programs
or projects initiated by the Government of Vietnam,
development partners, and other stakeholders? (3) What are
the changes needed for future design and implementation of
initiatives to support sustainable socio-economic
development among ethnic minorities? This study adopts a
mixed methodological approach, combining both quantitative
and qualitative methods. In order to identify the top- and
bottom-performing ethnic minorities, the 2015 Ethnic
Minorities Socio-Economic Survey of 53 groups (53EMS)
dataset was used to calculate the Human Development Index
(HDI) and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) as two
indicators of socio-economic development of the ethnic minorities. |
