Abstract:
In 2010, the Southern Institute of Social Sciences of the Vietnam Academy of Social
Sciences conducted two surveys in the Southeast region of Viet Nam. The first survey
was conducted in Ho Chi Minh City. It consists of 1,080 households living in 30
wards or communes. The second one was carried out in other provinces of the
Southeast region, consisting of 1,080 households living in 30 wards, towns or
communes. This paper outlines the social stratification structures by occupational
groups, social strata and quintiles of income based on the data set analysis of the
surveys. Three properties attached to the social groups, namely the economy,
knowledge and power resources, are measured by three variables: household’s
income, years of schooling, and being a member of the ruling Party. The analysis
highlights that the distributions of these resources are consistently structured by the
configuration of social stratification.
