Regional income disparity Income inequality in Vietnam is reflected in the noticeable pay gap between urban and rural areas. This urban-rural disparity can be attributed to various determinants, including the salary gap between agricultural and non-farm sectors in Vietnam, as agriculture remains the backbone of the Vietnamese rural economy. Although the country has experienced positive economic growth and decreasing poverty rate within the last few years, the higher poverty rate in rural areas suggests that more can be done to tackle inequality between rural and urban Vietnam. COVID-19 and the Vietnamese labor market Vietnam’s effective response and success in the fight against the coronavirus came at the expense of its economy. In 2021, Vietnam’s unemployment rate reached 2.3 percent, being the highest value recorded within the last decade, with many companies forced to lay off employees during the outbreak. Nevertheless, the labor market in Vietnam is expected to recover, as the Vietnamese economy remains resilient and is expected to grow again post COVID-19.

This dataset is part of a larger study of male sex workers in Vietnam. The study included a community-based cross-sectional interview and an intake interview. From the cross-sectional interview, a random sample of participants were selected for participation in the sexual health promotion intervention.
