With the goal of becoming a truly livable city where every citizen enjoys material and spiritual well-being, lives in a safe environment, and has access to healthcare, education, and social welfare, Ho Chi Minh City is gradually turning this vision into reality through practical policies.

The Vietnamese Ministry of Home Affairs organised a ceremony in Ha Noi on August 27 to celebrate its 80th founding anniversary (August 28) and convened its first Patriotic Emulation Congress, where Party General Secretary To Lam praised its important role in shaping national governance and ensuring social welfare.

Many businesses are facing difficulties in the current climate, resulting in job losses for a significant number of workers. This has forced them to make difficult choices, such as withdrawing one-time social insurance payments, sacrificing long-term benefits for immediate financial relief.

Throughout recent times, particularly in the first half of 2025, social welfare assurance has consistently been carried out in a timely and effective manner by all levels and sectors.

Statistics from the General Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance) show that in May and the first five months of 2025, the living conditions of the population continued to improve, ensuring timely and practical social welfare support.
