“…Since the pandemic is estimated to reduce rural households' per capita income by 21 percent in 2021 (Dang and Nguyen, 2022), the actual pandemic impacts on food security were likely twice as strong as those predicted by Vu et al (2022) for rural Vietnam. This further highlights Vu et al's (2022) conclusion that while the average impact of the income shock during the pandemic in Vietnam may appear small, certain districts in the country might be affected more severely than others and food relief policies should prioritize these districts.…”

Despite a sizable population and modest status as a low middle-income country, Vietnam has recorded a low COVID-19 fatality rate that rivals those of richer countries with far larger spending on health. We offer an early review of the emerging literatures in public health and economics on the pandemic effects in Vietnam, with a specific focus on vulnerable population groups. Our review suggests that vulnerable workers were at more health risks than the general population. The pandemic reduced household income, increased the poverty rate, and worsened wage equality. It increased the proportion of below-minimum wage workers by 2.5 percentage points (i.e., 32 percent increase). While government policy responses were generally regarded as effective, the public support for these responses was essential for this success, particularly where there were stronger public participation in the political process. Our review also indicates the need for a social protection database to identify the poor and the informal workers to further enhance targeting efforts. Finally, we suggest future directions for research in the Vietnamese context.

“…Immigrants also tend to receive food from family members, and in turn send money for family members to buy food. Nguyen et al 2021;Vu et al 2022). A specific focus on ethnic minority communities in policies aiming to eliminate malnutrition and food shortages is particularly needed for the Mekong Delta (Nguyen and Minh 2023).…”

“…Household income in the Mekong Delta is also limited, so speedy transition towards a more climate change adapted emissions reduction model is unlikely. Many studies suggest that instead of wide disbursement of funding, investment in climate change mitigation and adaptation should be prioritized, and food security policy should focus on highrisk areas (Vu et al 2022).…”

“…The majority of these efforts focus on granular predictions derived from novel data sources. For example, Mwebaze et al (2010); Okori and Obua (2011) predict household famine in Uganda between 2004, Vu et al (2022 predict changes in household level food insecurity in Vietnam, and Lentz et al (2019) predict food insecurity for village clusters in Malawi. Martini et al (2021); Foini et al (2022) develop high-frequency now-casting capabilities at a global scale focused on the food consumption score and Balashankar et al (2021) extract leading signals from news streams.…”
