Foreword

The gender statistics book that you have in hand is the output of cooperation between
the National Committee for the Advancement of Women in Vietnam (NCFAW) and the
General Statistical Office (GSO) in the framework of project VIE 01-015-01 on Gender in
public policy funded by the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) and the
Government of the Netherlands. The purpose of this cooperation is to improve the
capacity to collect, systematize and analyze gender statistics and undertake a gender
analysis based on the latest data collected by GSO and related agencies. This book is
expected to fill partly the present shortage of gender statistics through provision of sex-
disaggregated data (mainly dated from the late 1990s up to now) and a gender analysis
report for various users, particularly policy makers.
The data were gathered and analyzed in quarter III and IV, 2004, on the basis of the 59
indicators on the rights of Vietnamese women in the spirit of the United Nation
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW)
2
. All data were collected and systematized by GSO specialists in cooperation
with relevant agencies under the coordination of Mrs. Tong Thi Dua, Deputy Director of
GSO's Social and Environment Department. The data analysis report from a gender
perspective was prepared by Dr. Tran Thi Van Anh from the Institute for Family and
Gender issues. The "Gender in public policy" project team, under the guidance of Mrs.
Tran Thi Mai Huong, NCFAW Permanent Secretary, Deputy National Project Director,
contributed many technical inputs in outline designing and data analysis and was
actively involved in the book finalization.
The statistical book has 2 parts: (1) Data analysis from a gender perspective and (2)
Statistical tables. Both of them are structured into 6 areas, namely population and
family, labor and employment, education and training, health care, leadership
participation at different levels, and gender-based violence (prostitution, domestic
violence and trafficking in women and children). In each area, the report mentions a
number of key gender issues, the changing trends of gender equality and conclusion.
Readers can follow the order of the 6 areas or turn directly to specific areas of interest.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the participants having attended the workshop
on December 31
st
, 2004 in GSO for their valuable recommendations to improve and
finalize the report.

executive summary

This gender statistics book, comprised of a data analysis report from a gender
perspective and statistical tables, is the output of cooperation between the National
Committee for the Advancement of Women in Vietnam (NCFAW) and the General
Statistical Office (GSO) in the framework of project VIE 01-015-01 on Gender in public
policy funded by the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) and the Government
of the Netherlands. The report is to provide policy makers with a key data set and data
analysis from a gender perspective in 6 areas: population and family, labor and
employment, education and training, health care, leadership participation at different
levels, and gender-based violence (prostitution, domestic violence and trafficking in
women and children).
Population and family
Sex ratio of Vietnamese population begins to fall under 100% after the age of 35. Since
then the male population is always lower the female population and continues to drop
quickly in higher age groups. Sex ratio in the newborn group suggests the possibility of
embryo sex selection in urban areas. However, this needs to be verified by more accurate
evidence.
The proportion of married population remains high. However, the percentage of single
women is higher than men. It is noteworthy that the percentage of women remaining
single after divorce is 2.6 times higher than men and the widowhood percentage is 5
times higher in women than men.
The percentage of female-headed households is disproportionately distributed between
urban and rural areas (36.2% and 20.2% respectively).
It is clear that attention should be paid to the male/female structure of household heads
while implementing household-related policies to ensure equal assess by both male and
female household heads to production resources as well as social services.
Labor and employment
The percentage of economically active women in Vietnam is high, particularly in the
Northern mountainous areas and Central Highlands, as much as 79% in 2003.
The percentage of working time used by female workforce in rural areas tends to
increase and there is no considerable gap between men and women in this aspect. In
2003, the percentage of working time used was 77.2% by female and 78.1% by male
workforce.
However, in recent years, unemployment rate of urban women appears to increase
quickly in comparison with that of men (6.9% and 4.4% respectively in 2003). We are still
43
behind the target of an unemployment rate of 5-6% in urban women and more efforts
should be made in this regard.
The average hours used per day for production and business by women is the same as
men (4.9 and 5.0 hours respectively in 2002). However, the average hours used per day
for housework by women is 2.5 times higher than men in urban areas and 2.3 times
higher in rural areas.
It requires urgent and consistent measures by agencies at different levels to cut down
the unemployment rate of female workforce in urban areas and to increase the hours
used for housework by men in both urban and rural areas.
Education and training
Impressive achievements have been made in regards to gender equality in education and
training in recent years. The gross enrolment rate at primary school is 100.6% for girls
and 99.3% for boys.
However, there are still many problems. It is more difficult for ethnic minority women
and girls in remote and mountainous areas to gain access to education than men and
boys. While the 2001 literacy rate is 86.3% for Kinh women, the number is only 63.6%
and 30% for Thai and Hmong women respectively. It poses a big challenge to the target
of functional literacy among 95% of illiterate women aged under 40 as set out in the
national Plan of Action for the advancement of women by 2005.
The drop-out rate in girls is higher at primary school but lower at higher levels. This
points to the need for specific measures to limit the drop-out rate among boys and girls
at different education levels, particularly among primary girl students, and to improve
the promotion rate of girl pupils to lower secondary schools, especially in ethnic minority
and remote areas.
Health care
Indicators in this group demonstrate remarkable progress in recent years in health care,
particularly maternal and child health care. Between 2002 and 2004, the percentage of
birth-giving women having received prenatal examination three times or more has
increased from 69.7% to 83.5%.
However, health care in general and maternal and child health care before, during and
after delivery in particular is poorest in the North West, North East and Central
Highlands, where a large number of poor and ethnic minority women live. While the
2003 infant mortality rate is 21
0
/
00
in the whole country, it is as high as 37
0
/
00
in the
North West and 29
0
/
00
in the North East and Central Highlands.
The major causes of this situation include inconvenient public health services, high user
fees, and inadequate human resources and medical facilities in commune health centers.
To this situation it needs to further strengthen the grassroots health network,
particularly in remote and isolated areas, through increased investment in medical
equipments and health workers at commune level. Special attention should be paid to
make maternal health care during delivery accessible to poor and ethnic women living in
44
mountainous and remote areas through conducting communication activities, improving
service quality and giving incentives for local health workers to visit villages and
hamlets.
Leadership participation at different levels
Women have a better representation in management and leadership in recent years. The
percentage of female Peoples Council deputies at all three levels has increased in the
last two tenures, reaching 19.5% at commune/ward level, 23% at district/quarter level
and 23.9% at provincial/municipal level for tenure 2004-2009.
However, the improvement is modest and uneven among different levels and areas. It is
noteworthy that the female representation at Party executive committees has declined at
central and provincial/municipal levels. This figure at central level has dropped from
10.6% in 8
th
Congress to 8.0% in 9
th
Congress.
The percentage of women key leaders at different levels is generally low in the last 2
tenures.
The limited participation of women in leadership and management, particularly in key
positions, is due to the lack of guidance, monitoring and encouragement by Party
executive committees to women promotion
22
. Besides, there exist a stereotyped and
narrow-minded thinking about women, distrust in their capacity and prejudices against
female staff; the situation is also attributed to women's heavy triple roles and inferiority
complex.
This requires more effective guidance by Party levels to women cadre work in the coming
time. At the same time, there should be consistent cooperation among various agencies
and organizations in fostering and introducing women candidates, thus to gradually
increase women representation in management and leadership.
Gender-based violence (prostitution, domestic violence and trafficking in
women and children)
Violence against women and children, illicit drug use, prostitution and trafficking in
women and children are on the increase. Between 2000 and 2001, the incidence of child
abuse increased from 1,684 to 1,913 cases. Sexual abuse cases account for 51% of the
total number of child abuse cases.
It is noteworthy that while the trafficking in women and children is very serious, judged
cases of this offence tend to decrease in number. From 2000 to 2003, the trial of women
trafficking cases dropped from 130 cases with 222 accused to 85 cases with 16 accused.
To stop violence against and trafficking in women and children, it requires urgent
measures by all social strata. Preventive and reactive measures need to take into
account occupational and age characteristics of perpetrators, including children.
Preventive measures should be directed to people at risk of all ages, particularly young
children. The establishment of the Government Steering Committee for prevention of

22
Report on ten years implementation of Directive 37 of the Party Central Secretariat.
45
trafficking in women and children of the 2004-2010 period has shown the importance of
the issue, including the need for closer cooperation between different sectors, especially
the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.

I. data Analysis report from a gender perspective
1. Population and family
Indicators on population and family provide a panorama of Vietnamese population in
terms of sex ratio, marital status and male/female structure of household heads.
Sex ratio
23
of Vietnamese population is 96.6% in 2003. It changes among different age
groups. It is highest in the under-19 group, leveled at the age from 20 to 34, falling below
100% since 35 to the lowest level of 64.4% in the 70-and-over group (Figure 1.1).

Sex ratio drops dramatically after the age of 50 because of higher mortality rate in men
than in women. Possible causes include land traffic accidents
24
, diseases related to
men's popular habits like smoking and alcoholism, warfare, etc. This results in the lower
percentage of male population in comparison with female. In 2003, the male percentage
is 48.4% in the 45-49 group, 46.3% in the 55-59 group and 42.2% in the 65-69 group
(Figure 1.2)

of land traffic accidents and women account for18% (Data from the workshop on land traffic
safety, 2000).

It is noteworthy that sex ratio in the newborn sees a big fluctuation between the years
and between urban and rural areas. While sex ratio changes slightly in rural newborns
in the 1999-2003 period, the figure in urban newborns sees dramatic changes - it is as
high as 114.1% and 113.1% (in 2001 and 2002 respectively) and drops sharply in 2003 to
102.7%. (Figure 1.3).
There has not been reliable research to explain these changes. The supposition of sex-
selective abortion in urban areas using ultrasound for early sex identification needs to be
verified with additional evidence.

Marriage percentage: The percentage of married population varies among different
age groups with the highest level of 87.1% for women in the 35-39 group and 96.5% for
men in the 45-49 group (Figure 1.4).

The percentage of single women is 26.3% and single men is 32.5%. Conversely,
widowhood percentage is higher in women than men (the 2003 figure is 10.7% for
women, which is 5 times higher than that of men - 2%). Divorce rate is 1.3% in women
and 0.5% in men. Likewise, separation rate in women is 0.6%, 3 times higher than men -
0.2%. The percentage of married population is 61.1% among women and 64.9% among
men (Figure 1.5).

Particularly the percentage of female population aged 45 and over living alone (including
single, widowed, divorced and separated) is fairly high and increases through age
groups. The figure is 24%, 32% and 56% in the age groups of 50-54, 55-59, and 60 and
over, respectively. Meanwhile the rate is 4.3%, 4.8% and 15.4% in men respectively
(Figure 1.6).

Percentage of female-headed households
25
according to household registration is
24% in the whole country in 2003. The figure is 36% in urban areas
26
and 20% in rural
areas. It is noteworthy that the percentage of female household heads in the whole
country goes up through age groups, reaching 28.6% in the 50-and-over group and 35%
in the 60-and-over group (Figure 1.7). This is in line with sex ratio of population by age
group.

In short, sex ratio of Vietnamese population begins to fall below 100% after the age of
35
27
and drop dramatically after the age of 50. It means that after 35, male population is

5
Percentage of female-headed households to the total number of households.
26
It is partly due to the housing allocation policy in urban areas in the 60s and 70s whereby
children are affiliated with mother, as a result, many women government employees were
provided with accommodation and have their names in household registration as household
heads.
27
This trend is shown in data of the 1999 Population Census and 2001-2003 Population Changes
surveys.
49
fewer than female population and the higher the age group, the fewer. This should be
taken into account in developing strategies to improve population quality and in
deploying workforce, particularly the female workforce. These measures should go hand
in hand with the improvement of working conditions for both males and females.
Marriage percentage remains high in Vietnamese population. However, the percentage
of women living alone is the higher than men. Particularly, the percentage of women
remained unmarried after divorce is 2.6 times higher than men and the percentage of
widowhood is 5 times higher in women than men (data of 2003). This calls for specific
social services to be provided to single parent families.
The percentage of female-headed households differs between urban and rural areas. In
2002, there is a female-headed household per 2.8 urban households, while there is one
per 4.9 rural households. The percentage of female-headed households in the whole
country increases through age groups. In 2002, it was 31.5% and 37.8% in the age groups
of 55-59 and 65 and over. It is clear that attention should be paid to the male/female
structure of household heads while implementing household-related policies to ensure
equal assess by both male and female household heads to production resources as well as
social services.
2. Labor and employment
Labor and employment is a crucial area for improving gender equity. Statistical data in
this part provide information about women and men's employment opportunities,
unemployment, rate of working time used, income, and salary/wage.
Percentage of economically active women
28
in our country is high. In 2003, it is
68.5% in women and 75.8% in men. The difference between men and women in this
regard remains unchanged in the 2000-2003 period (Figure 2.1).

Women aged 15 and over in the workforce, i.e. those who are employed or currently unemployed
but desire for work, compared to the total female population aged 15 and over.
50
It is noteworthy that the percentage of economically active women varies among
different regions. In 2003, the North West and the Central Highlands came first and
second in this aspect with the percentage of 80% and 78% respectively. The lowest
regions are the South East and the Mekong river delta with the percentage of 60% and
64% respectively. These are also the two regions with the biggest gap between men and
women in terms of economic participation (Figure 2.2). Thus, it is necessary to improve
employment quality of population and female workforce in particular in the North West
and Central Highlands
29
. In the mean time, the issue of concern for the South East and
Mekong river delta is to improve the percentage of economically active women to reduce
the gap between men and women.

The percentage of women in permanent employment is also high. In 2003, this rate
is 95.5% and 96.2% in women and men respectively. The percentage of women in
permanent employment is lower in rural areas. In 2003, it is 94.5% in urban areas and
95.8% in rural areas. The respective percentage in men is 95.8% and 96.3%.
Unemployment rate is higher in women than men in urban areas. It is noteworthy that
in the 2000-2003 period, unemployment rate tends to decrease in men but increase in
women. The 2003 unemployment rate is 6.9% and 4.4% in women and men respectively
(Figure 2.3).

The average monthly income per capita of population aged 15 and over as agricultural wage
workers is 400,000 VND in the whole country. The North West and the Central Highlands are
among the lowest regions - 362,000 VND and 347,000 VND respectively (2002 Household Living
Standard Survey).

gains an increase in
the 2000-2004 period, bridging the gap with men. In 2003, the rate is 77.7% and 78.1%
for rural women and men respectively (Figure 2.6).

However, the percentage of working time used by rural female workforce varies among
different age groups. It is highest after the age of 50 and lowest before the age of 20. In
the 20-50 age group, the percentage of the working time used by women increases
steadily and is always about one percent lower than men, e.g. 77.3% in women vs. 78.3%
in men in the age of 25-29. It means that even in the age of birth-giving and child-

The concentration of female workforce is higher in agriculture and trade and male
workforce is higher in fishery and construction. In 2002, per 100 female workers, there
are nearly 60 women in agriculture; 1.5 in fishery; 13 in trade and 0.7 in construction.
Meanwhile per 100 male workers, there are 51.5 men in agriculture, 4.5 in fishery, 7.5 in
trade and 8 in construction (Figure 2.8).

The annual average income of female workers in the national economy is about the
same level as male. However, it differs from sector to sector. In 2002, the ratio of annual
average income of a female to a male worker is 1.05 in the whole national economy, 1.13
in industry and construction, and 0.97 in agriculture, forestry and fishery (figure 2.9).
54
This is a surprising finding given the fact that recent studies indicate a ratio of
female/male average income being just 0.9.

The average hours used per day for production and business by women in the
working age is about the same as men. In 2002, the figure is 4.9 hours for women and 5.0
hours for men. There is a certain difference between sectors with the figure being lowest
in agriculture, forestry and fishery and highest in trade and services at 6.1 hours for
both men and women (figure 2.10).

The average hours used per day for housework by women aged 15 and over is 2.5 times
higher than men in urban areas and 2.3 times higher in rural areas. In 2002, this
number is 1.97 and 0.78 hours for urban women and men respectively (figure 2.11).

In short, the percentage of economically active women is high, particularly in the North
West and Central Highlands (80% and 78% respectively in 2003).
The percentage of working time used by female workforce in rural areas tends to
increase, almost filling up the gap between men and women. We have surpassed the
target of 75% of working time used by rural women as set in the Plan of Action for the
advancement of women by 2005 and achieved the rate of 77.7% in 2003.
However, in recent years, unemployment rate of urban women appears to increase
quickly in comparison with that of men (6.9% and 4.4% respectively in 2003). We are still
behind the target of an unemployment rate of 5-6% in urban women and more efforts
should be made in this regard.
The average hours used per day for production and business by women is the same as
men (4.9 and 5.0 hours respectively in 2002). However, the average hours used per day
for housework by women is 2.5 times higher than men in urban areas and 2.3 times
higher in rural areas.
Gender situation in labor and employment shows that we have made considerable
progress and achieved a number of targets set out in the Plan of Action for the
advancement of women by 2005. The percentage of working time used by rural women
goes up and the average income of female workforce is about the same as male. However,
there are still some shortcomings to be overcome in the immediate and long-term future.
Attention should be given to the following issues:
Reduce unemployment rate of urban female workforce, particularly in the age between
25 and 44, and provide equal employment opportunities for both men and women.
Improve employment quality of male and female workforce in a number of regions,
particularly the North West and Central Highlands, to upgrade income and living
standard of the population on the basis of high percentage of economically active people
in these areas.
56
Increase hours used by men for housework in urban and rural areas to improve the
sharing of family burdens between men and women.
Besides, it is necessary to pay attention to other important targets of the Plan of Action
for the advancement of woman by 2005, such as women making up 40% of people
provided with newly-created jobs and women accounting for 50% of credit borrowers,
though we currently do not have adequate statistical data on these indicators.
3. Education and training
Gender equality in education and training is the result of long-term efforts made by the
whole society and it serves as a prerequisite for the development of women and men in
the future. Statistical indicators in the area of education and training include indicators
on literacy rate, enrolment rate at all education levels, level promotion and drop-out rate
of boys and girls, percentage of highest education level achieved by population and
percentage of female teachers.
The literacy rate of Vietnamese population is high with a very small difference
between men and women. In 2002, the rate in population aged 10 and over is 92% - 95%
in men and 89% in women. However, the difference is considerable between different
ethnic groups. In 2002, it is 92% in Kinh women, 89.2% in Tay women, 69.8% in Thai
women and 21.9% in HMong women. Men's literacy rate among respective ethnic groups
is 96.6%, 95.3%, 89.6% and 53.1% (figure 3.1).

Gross enrolment rate of female population at primary education is the percentage of girl pupils

country is high and tends to increase in recent years. In school year 2003-2004, it is as
high as 102.6% for girls and 107.4% for boys.
The gross enrolment rate of boys and girls at lower secondary education is also
high and keeps increasing. Despite stable growth recently, there is still a gap between
boys and girls in term of gross enrolment rate at lower secondary school. The difference
is 3.7 percents in school year 2003-2004 (86.5% in girls and 90.2% in boys), against 3.2-
percetn-difference in school year 2000-2001 (figure 3.2).

It is noteworthy that the gap is increasing in some localities. For example in Ca Mau
province, the rate is 58% and 67.3% for girls and boys respectively in school year 2001-
2002, and is 60% and 74% for girls and boys in school year 2003-2004. This points to the
instability of the gross enrolment rate of girls at lower secondary education level.
One of the causes of this situation is that fewer girls enroll into lower secondary school
although they have higher completion rate of primary school as compared to boys. In
school year 2002-2003, the completion rate of primary school
33
in the whole country is
82.7% for girls and 78.9% for boys. Also in that year, the rate of pupils moving from
primary to lower secondary level
34
is 95.7% for girls and 100.5% for boys. While many
boy drop-outs have returned to school and continued with the lower secondary education,
this has not happened to girls.
The gross enrolment rate of girls at upper secondary education in school year
2003-2004 is 45.2% and 45.7% in girls and boys respectively. This rate has been

But in some regions, girls are still left behind boys in this regard. In school year 2003-
2004, while the difference in the whole country is 0.5 percent, it is 2 percents in the
North East, 5.8 percents in the North West, and 1.4 percents in the Mekong River delta.
However the rate is 2.5 percents higher in girls than in boys (figure 3.4).

An issue of concern is the higher drop-out rate of boys as compared to girls at all the
primary, lower secondary and higher secondary education levels, though the difference is
not much. In school year 2002-2003, the drop-out rate at primary level in the whole
country is 3.09% for girls and 3.16% for boys (figure 3.5).

Women teachers make up a high percentage in the total teachers of education sector
but mostly at lower levels. Generally, the higher the education level, the fewer women
teachers, except for college level, where the percentage of men and women teacher are
almost the same (figure 3.6). It is possibly because of lower investment by families in girl
education in the past, stereotypes of gender roles, prejudices against womens capacity
and family workload on women themselves.

is fairly good at some
education levels. In 2002, for every 100 women age 15 and over, there are 25.5 primary
graduates, 25.8 lower secondary graduates and 9.4 upper secondary graduates.
Respective figures in male population are 27.3, 29.5 and 12.0. The difference between
men and women is not big in professional secondary education with 2.9% in women and
2.8% in men. The figure at college and university level is 2.7% in women and 4.2% in
men (figure 3.7). At post-graduate level, the percentage of women is 3 times lower than
men (0.04% in women and 0.13% in men).

In short, impressive achievements have been made in regards to gender equality in
education and training in recent years. However, there are still many issues of concern,
particularly the following problems:
It is more difficult for ethnic minority women and girls in remote and mountainous areas
to gain access to education than men and boys. It poses a big challenge to the target of
functional literacy among 95% of illiterate women aged under 40 as set out in the
national Plan of Action for the advancement of women by 2005.
While the gross enrolment rate of boys and girl at lower education level has been
improved, the gap between the two sexes remains unchanged. Improvement in the said
gap, however, has been reported at upper secondary education level.
The drop-out rate in girls is higher as compared to boys at primary school but lower at
higher levels. Particularly the rate of girls moving from primary to lower secondary level
is lower than boys. This points to the need for specific measures to limit the drop-out

rate among boys and girls at different education levels, particularly among primary girl
students, and to improve the promotion rate to lower secondary schools, especially for
girls in ethnic and remote areas.

4. Health care
Health care, particularly women health care, is of special importance not only for the
present generation but also for many generations in the future. Indicators in health care
group are those on life expectancy of women and men, women health care before, during
and after birth-giving and child malnutrition.
Life expectancy at birth
36
in 1999 is 70.1 years in women and 66.5 years in men. From
1999 to 2002, the figure increased quicker in men (3.5 years in men vs. 2.9 years in
women) (figure 4.1).

Percentage of women having received prenatal examination three times or
more is 83.8% in 2003, and percentage of women vaccinated against tetanus
twice during pregnancy is 88.5%.
In 2000-2003 period, the percentage of women having prenatal examinations three times
or more has increased considerably from 69.7% to 83.8%. Meanwhile, the percentage of
women vaccinated against tetanus twice during pregnancy has slightly reduced though
remained at a high level (figure 4.2).

The percentage of women vaccinated against tetanus twice during pregnancy remains
low in some provinces. In 2003, it is lowest in the provinces of Lao Cai (47.6%) and Son
La (53%).
The percentage of women giving birth with medical worker assistance has
increased continuously in recent years and is 95.8% in 2003. The percentage of
women taking vitamin A supplements after giving birth has been slightly
increased since 2000 and is 55.8% in 2003 (Figure 4.4).

The care given to birth-giving women greatly differs between regions. In 2003, the
percentage of women giving birth with medical worker assistance is highest in the Red

Rate of maternal mortality related to gestation in public health establishments
has been continuously reduced in recent years to the level of 18.2 deaths per 100,000 live
births in 2003. However, this rate is unstable and is much higher in some provinces as
compared to the national average level, such as 123.9

Quality of care for women during and after delivery depends largely on the local health
personal. The percentage of commune health centers with at least a midwife or
an obstetric-pediatric assistant doctor has increased in recent years and reached
93.1% in 2003 (figure 4.7).

This percentage is considerably lower in some regions than the countrys average level,
namely 79.3% in North West and 88.7% in the North East in 2003.
The malnutrition rate (weight for age) of children under 5 has been declining recently. It
has been reducing faster in boys to the level of 28.2% in 2003. The rate is still higher in girls and
the gap does not seem to be narrowed in period 2000-2003 (figure 4.8).

The percentage of married women aged 15-49 using contraceptives is 75.6% in
2003. The percentage is highest in the age group of 35-39 and lowest in women under 20
(figure 4.9).

It is noteworthy that the choices of contraceptives are limited and IUD is the most
popular contraceptive for women.
In short, indicators in this group demonstrate remarkable progress in recent years in
health care, particularly maternal and child health care.
However, health care in general and maternal and child health care before, during and
after delivery in particular is poorest in the North West, North East and Central
Highlands, where a large number of poor and ethnic minority women live. While the
2003 infant mortality rate is 21
0
/
00
in the whole country, it is as high as 37
0
/
00
in the
North West and 29
0
/
00
in the North East and Central Highlands.
The major causes of this situation include inconvenient public health services, high user
66
fees, and inadequate human resources and medical facilities in commune health centers.
This especially affects health care of poor women and children as they depends more on
local health services, both in quantity and quality.
To this situation it needs to further strengthen the grassroots health network,
particularly in remote and isolated areas, through increased investment in medical
equipments and health workers at commune level. Special attention should be paid to
make maternal health care during delivery accessible to poor and ethnic women living in
mountainous and remote areas through conducting communication activities, improving
service quality and giving incentives for local health workers to visit villages and
hamlets.

5. Leadership participation at different levels
The indicators on male and female representation in management and leadership
indicate the level of participation by men and women in making decisions on national
and local political and socio-economic issues. They also tell how women are facilitated to
demonstrate their management and leadership capacities. Indicators in this group
include the percentage of male/female National Assembly deputies, People's Council
deputies, members of Party executive committees, and leaders at various levels.
Prominently the male/female structure in leadership has changed recently to be more
balanced. The percentage of women in leadership has increased at all levels. Particularly
the percentage of female National Assembly deputies has increased continuously for
three terms to reach 27.3% in 11
th
term (2004-2007) (figure 5.1).

The percentage of female People's Council deputies at all levels has increased in the last
2 terms, reaching 19.5% at commune/ward level; 23% at district/quarter level and 23.9%
at province/city level in term 2004-2009 (figure 5.2).

It is thanks to the guidance and attention by Party committees at all levels to the
planning and training of women cadres. In some localities, there have been policies
supporting women cadres in education and training. Aware of their positions and
responsibilities in the new situations, women have become more self-confident and pro-
active in overcoming challengers and striving for further progress
37
.
However, women's participation in leadership increases unevenly in different areas. At
the central level, in the last two Party congresses, women representation in Party
Committee has dropped down. It remains unchanged in Party executive committees at
provincial/municipal level. The rate, however, has slightly increased in Party executive
committees at district and commune levels. Specifically at district level, it has increased
from 11.3% in term 1996-2000 to 12.6% in term 2001-2005, and at commune level, it has
increased from 10.7% in term 1996-2000 to 11.4% in term 2001-2005. Women percentage
in the Party Central Committee has dropped from 10.6% in 8

Congress to 8.0% in 9

Congress (figure 5.3).

It is notable that although the percentage of women in leadership has increased, such as
in the National Assembly, Peoples Councils and Party executive committees, the growth
is very modest, particularly in Party executive committees at approximately 1%. It
means that men are still dominant in leadership positions.
The male/female structure also differs at different levels of ministries and sectors.
Ministers and deputy ministers are mostly men, though there is a little rise of female
representation. The percentage of women as department directors and deputy directors
has been falling in the last 10 years. Specifically the percentage of women as department
directors has declined from 13% to 12.1% and as department deputy directors from
12.1% to 8.1% (figure 5.4).

It is remarkable that in the last two terms, the percentage of women key leaders at all
levels remains very low, particularly at grassroots levels. In the 2 terms of 1992-1997 and
1997-2002, the percentage of chairwomen and vice chairwomen of People's Committees is
under 10% at provincial level and is under 2% at commune level (figure 5.5).

In short, women have a better representation in management and leadership in recent
years. However, the improvement is modest and uneven among different levels and
areas. It is noteworthy that the female representation at Party executive committees has
declined at central and provincial/municipal levels. The percentage of women key leaders
at different levels is generally low in the last 2 tenures.
The limited participation of women in leadership and management, particularly in key
positions, is due to the lack of guidance, monitoring and encouragement by Party
executive committees to women promotion. Besides, there exist a stereotyped and
narrow-minded thinking about women, distrust in their capacity and prejudices against
female staff; the situation is also attributed to women's triple roles and inferiority
complex.
This requires more effective guidance by Party levels to women cadre work in the coming
time. At the same time, there should be consistent cooperation among various agencies
and organizations in fostering and introducing women candidates, thus to gradually
increase women representation in management and leadership.
6. Gender-based violence (prostitution, domestic violence and trafficking in
women and children)
Maltreatment of women and children adversely affects women and men and hinders the
realization of gender equality and childrens rights. Indicators in this group deal with
some problems related to child abuse, adolescent offenders, illicit drug use, prostitution,
and trafficking in women and children.
Child abuse cases discovered and judged in the whole country have seen an upsurge.
In 2000 and 2001 alone, the number of child abuse cases escalated from 1,684 to 1,913
cases. Among perpetrators of child abuse, 53% are related to sexual abuse and the rest
are other offences, such as child killing - 4.7%, malice prepense - 16.3%, trafficking and
abduction - 3.2%, seducing and harboring child offenders - 1.5% (figure 6.1).

It is worth mentioning that the proportion of sexual abuse in child abuse is fairly high in
some regions, such as 84.7% in Mekong River Delta and 71.5% in South Central Coast
(figure 6.2).

Girls make up 63.8% of total abused children. It is significant that children under
13 account for 50% of the total abused children, especially children under 6 account for
9.5%.
Perpetrators of child abuse are mostly male, making up 96.8%. It is striking that the
percentage of adolescents (under 18) in the total perpetrators is as much as 33.6%.
71
Among adolescent offenders (who are in school age), 64% are at school, 28% are drop-
outs and 8% have never been to school. The number of adolescent offenders is 11,376 in
2001, of whom 1.4% female and 35.6% having offended twice and over. A considerable
number of adolescent offenders are at young age, i.e. 14% are under 14 (figure 6.3).

Illicit drug use. The number of drug addicts being treated in rehabilitation centers has
considerably increased from 38,461 people in 2001 to 43,782 in the first 9 months in
2004. The percentage of women is 8.2% in the first 9 months of 2004. The data is
incomplete as only 13 provinces/cities provided sex-disaggregated data.
Of the reported provinces, the percentage of women in drug addicts being treated is
highest in Can Tho at 12%, followed by Ho Chi Minh city at 10% (figure 6.4).

The number of reported prostitutes in the whole country is estimated to be 30,600 in
2003, of whom 12,912 are on file. This is a considerable decline as compared to previous

years (figure 6.5).

Trafficking in women and child trafficking is now on the increase and take many forms.
According to statistics, from 1991 to September 2004, 2,458 cases were discovered and
investigated in the whole country with 4,076 people involved
38
. However, this statistical
data is incomplete as many perpetrators are not discovered and many victims do not
report their cases to the police. It is estimated that tens of thousands of Vietnamese
women and children have been trafficked out of country as brides, forced laborers,
adopted children or other commercial and inhumane purposes
39
.
It is surprising that while the trafficking in women and children is on the rise, the
number of judged cases in the whole country is declining. On the average 180 cases are
discovered and investigated annually with 300 offenders involved, but the number of
judged cases is much lower. From 2000 to 2003, the number of judged cases of women
and child trafficking every year dropped from 179 cases with 303 defendants to 115 cases
with 62 defendants (figure 6.6).

The trafficking of women and children out of border is serious in some localities, such as
the provinces of Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Thai Binh, Nam Ha, An
Giang, Kien Giang, Tay Ninh and Dong Thap. However, for many reasons, the number of
judged cases on women trafficking remains very low in these localities. For example, in
Lang Son province, 4,390 women are reported leaving the country, most of them are
trafficked or illegally immigrate to China as brides. However, during 4 years from 2000
to 2003, only 28 cases were tried with 39 defendants. In Thai Binh province, a survey
found that 2,514 women have been trafficked or illegally migrate overseas but only 3
cases have been bought to court with 4 defendants
40
.
In short, the violence against women and children, illicit drug use, prostitution and
trafficking in women and children are on the increase.
To stop violence against and trafficking in women and children, it requires urgent
measures by all social strata. Preventive and reactive measures need to take into
account occupational and age characteristics of perpetrators, including children.
Preventive measures should be directed to people at risk of all ages, particularly young
children. The establishment of the Government Steering Committee for prevention of
trafficking in women and children of the 2004-2010 period has shown the attention by
the Government to this type of crime. Necessary actions are being taken for a closer
cooperation between different sectors, especially the Ministry of Police and the Ministry
of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.

Indicator Definition and data assessment
population and family group


Population and Family indicator group consists of 6 indicators among 59 indicators on
the rights of Vietnamese women. Data for 3 population indicators come mainly from the
General Statistical Office (GSO), the 3 indicators on domestic violence against women,
detoxification and prostitution are moved to group 6. Therefore, data collection and
compilation for population indicators is not difficult.

I. Indicator definition and data collection
1. Percentage of women in the population
Percentage of women in the population is calculated as the percentage of women
(average at the reference moment) to the total population (average at the reference
moment).
Data was intended to be collected from the 1999 Population Census and Population
Changes and Labor Source surveys from 2000 to 2003. In fact, data of 1999 was collected
from the 1999 Population and Housing Census; and data of 2000 - 2003 was collected
from Population Changes and Labor Source surveys from 2000 to 2003.
It was intended to disaggregate data by sex, urban/rural, 8 ecological regions, 61
provinces/cities, ethnicity, age group and economic sector. In fact, data cannot be
disaggregated by ethnic group and economic sector because such disaggregation is not
available in the published Population Changes and Labor Source surveys.
2. Sex ratio
The ratio of men to 100 women is calculated by dividing male population (average at the
reference moment) by female population (average at the reference moment) and
multiplying by 100.
Data was intended to be collected from the 1999 Population and Housing Census and
Population Changes and Labor Source surveys from 2000 to 2003. In fact, data of 1999
was collected from the 1999 Population and Housing Census; and data of 2000 - 2003
was collected from Population Changes and Labor Source surveys from 2000 to 2003.
It was intended to disaggregate data by sex, urban/rural, 8 ecological regions, 61
provinces/cities, ethnicity, age group and economic sector. In fact, data cannot be

3. Percentage of female-headed households
A household is a person or a group of persons of blood, marriage or nurture relations,
sharing the income and expenditure, living in one house for at least 6 months in the past
12 months.
Head of household is a member of the household in the position to manage and decide
household activities. Head of household usually but not necessarily has the biggest
income in the household and directs all economic and occupational activities of other
household members.
Percentage of female-headed households is calculated as the percentage of female-
headed households to the total number of households.
Data was intended to be collected from the 1999 Population and Housing Census and
Household Living Standard Survey. In fact, data was extracted from primary data set of
the 2002 Household Living Standard Survey. The data is disaggregated by urban/rural,
8 ecological regions, 61 provinces/cities, ethnicity and age group of household heads.
4. Proportion of population aged 15 and over
This is an additional indicator besides the population and family indicators. Data of this
indicator was collected from the 2002 and 2003 Population Changes and Labor Source
surveys, disaggregated by marital status, sex and age group.
5. Average population
This is an additional indicator besides the population and family indicators. Data of 1999
was collected from the 1999 Population and Housing Census; data of 2001 - 2003 was
collected from the Population Changes and Labor Source surveys from 2001 to 2003. The
data is disaggregated by marital status, sex and age group

II. Assessment of data accuracy and reliability
The data was extracted from the 1999 Population and Housing Census, annual
Population Changes and Labor Source surveys and Household Living Standard survey
conducted by GSO every 2 years from 2002 to 2010. In general, data from these surveys
are satisfactory for the indicators on the percentage of women in population, sex ratio
and percentage of female-headed households. However, data of some indicators, such as
percentage of women in population is inadequate for disaggregation by ethnicity and
economic sector. Also the Household Living Standard survey is conducted every two
years, therefore there is no source for annual data compilation and updating as required.
This is one of the limitations in data source, which may not be solved in the next few
years.
Data of the indicators of the percentage of women in population, sex ratio and
percentage of female-headed households are generally reliable as they are from GSO
surveys. In these sampling surveys, sampling is conducted with scientific methods and
with consultation of international sampling experts. Data collection is always supervised
83
strictly and checked carefully. Each survey involves experienced and well-trained
enumerators of the statistics sector. Data cleaning and processing are highly considered
and advanced methods have been applied in data processing. The data therefore are
highly reliable.

III. Recommendations
Some indicators that have been processed and disseminated publicly can be accessed and
explored easily. Others must base on original data and can only be compiled and
calculated by using STATA and SPSS softwares. Therefore, it takes a long time to have
results in data tables. In order to have adequate information of all groups of each
indicator, some indicators and groups must be prioritized to be processed, compiled and
published in reports of these surveys.
