GDP growth benefits for the poor lessening: economist
VietNamNet Bridge – The gap between the top 20 percent of the richest people and the lowest 20 per cent of the poor in Vietnam was 4.4 times in 1993, but the figure was 10 times in 2016.
The real figure could be even higher as it is now difficult to measure the wealth of the rich, according to the Mekong Development Institute.
Dr Phung Duc Tung, head of the Mekong Development Institute, said that the high GDP growth rate that Vietnam has always been striving for will not solve all the problems in the country.
Tung said the GDP growth rate is an important index that measures the development of the economy, but it is also necessary to think about who will benefit from growth. Tiếp tục đọc “GDP growth benefits for the poor lessening: economist”

It means girls in the Upper Denkyira East district, in the Central Region, could miss out on their education.
Sub-Saharan Africa is already struggling to keep girls in school during their periods. Tiếp tục đọc “Menstruating girls banned from crossing Ghana river”
