Southeast Asia, a tapestry of economic and cultural complexity Historically a critical component of global trade, Southeast Asia is a diverse region with heterogeneous economies. The region comprises ** countries in total. While Singapore is a highly developed country economy and Brunei has a relatively high GDP per capita, the rest of the Southeast Asian countries are characterized by lower GDPs per capita and have yet to overcome the middle-income trap. Malaysia is one of these countries, having reached the middle-income level for many decades but yet to grow incomes proportionally to its economic development. Nevertheless, Southeast Asia’s young population will further drive economic growth across the region’s markets. ASEAN’s economic significance Aiming to promote economic growth, social progress, cultural development, and regional stability, all Southeast Asian countries except for Timor-Leste are part of the political and economic union Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Even though many concerns surround the union, ASEAN has avoided trade conflicts and is one of the largest and most dynamic trade zones globally. Factors such as the growing young population, high GDP growth, a largely positive trade balance, and exemplary regional integration hold great potential for future economic development in Southeast Asia.

Income distribution in Vietnam As a rapidly developing country in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has made significant efforts to improve income distribution among its population. One of the key factors contributing to a more balanced income distribution is Vietnam’s robust economic growth. Although the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to the country’s economy, Vietnam has been enjoying gradual GDP growth over the past few years, which explains the increase in job opportunities and higher wages for many Vietnamese citizens. Over the years, the Vietnamese government has implemented various policies and strategies to reduce the poverty rate and narrow the income gap in the country. However, the difference in income between urban and rural areas is inevitable. According to a governmental report in 2022, earnings per capita improved steadily across the whole country regardless of area; nonetheless, the monthly average income in urban areas was 1.5 times higher than that of their rural counterparts. Among the five major cities, Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City recorded the highest income per capita due to their higher living expenses compared to other areas. Monthly household expenditures in Vietnam While Vietnam has made noticeable progress in reducing poverty and improving income distribution, challenges remain in shaping the overall living standard for the population. The cost of living varies across different regions, with urban areas generally having higher expenses compared to rural areas.

Education and entertainment also contributed to the monthly expenses, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and many restrictions were lifted in the country.
