Working Beyond Retirement Age and Mental Health in Later Life
Rapid population ageing has led many countries to extend statutory retirement ages, yet the mental health implications of post-retirement employment remain inconclusive, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study examines the association between working beyond statutory retirement age and depressive symptoms among older persons in Vietnam, a rapidly ageing middle-income country undergoing retirement-age reform. Using nationally …
Healthy aging in Vietnam
This study constructed the Healthy Aging Index (HAI) and identified its associated factors, using two waves of nationally representative data on the Vietnamese older persons in 2019 and 2022. HAI was constructed with 22 variables reflecting various domains of healthy aging, and its measurement ranged from 0 to 100. Descriptive statistics and multivariate Tobit regressions were conducted. We found that the overall HAI scores were relatively high i…
The Effects of Spousal Caregiving on Middle-Age and Older Caregivers’ Health and Well-Being
Background: Population aging is escalating globally, intensifying the demand for long-term care (LTC), primarily met by informal caregivers, notably spouses. Evidence from developed countries suggests potential adverse effects on caregivers’ well-being. Yet, research on this topic is scarce in developing nations. We investigate the effect of informal caregiving on older spousal caregivers’ health and well-being in Vietnam, a rapidly aging country…
Differences in Healthcare Services Utilization Between Urban and Rural Older Persons in Vietnam
This research compared healthcare services utilization among older persons living in urban and rural Vietnam and determined the key factors contributing to their differences. A nationally representative sample of 3,049 older Vietnamese people in 2019 was used with multivariate logistic regressions and Poisson regressions to identify factors influencing the probability and frequency of service utilization. The standard concentration index (CI) and…
Does Retirement Improve Cognitive Functioning? Causal Evidence From Vietnam
Objectives Previous studies examining the effect of retirement on cognitive functioning have primarily been conducted in developed countries with inconclusive findings. This paper contributes to the limited evidence in middle-income countries by investigating this causal relationship in Vietnam. Methods We utilized a national survey on older persons for data analysis (N = 2,123). Since individuals’ decisions to retire are potentially endogenous t…

The Impact of Population Aging on Personal Income Tax Revenue in Vietnam
This paper examines the impact of population aging on personal income tax (PIT) revenue in Vietnam for the period 2014-2030. With the assumptions of a changing tax base and growing real gross domestic product (GDP), the total PIT revenue is projected to increase in absolute terms. However, the projected total PIT revenue as a percentage of GDP under an aging population and the counterfactual results (without aging population) show a negative impa…

The Mediating Role of Social Support on Unmet Healthcare Needs in Vietnamese Older People During the Covid-19
This study examined various factors, including social support as a mediating one, influencing subjective unmet needs (SUN) in Vietnamese older people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using logistic regression models with a national survey on older persons, we identified determinants of SUN, and then further explored how social support moderated the association between experiencing SUN and chronic diseases. We found that about 25% of Vietnamese older…
The Effects of Caring for Grandchildren on Health and Well‐Being of Grandparents
To date, studies on the effects of grandparenting on grandparents' health and well‐being do not reach the same conclusion and most of them have been conducted in developed countries. We add to this literature by examining the causal relationship between grandparenting and grandparents' health and well‐being in Vietnam, where the social norm and reciprocal relationships between adult children and their older parents are strong. We used instrumenta…
Unmet needs for care for activities of daily living among older adults with functional disabilities in Vietnam
Background: Given its low-middle-income status, Vietnam is experiencing a rapidly aging population. Along with this demographic trend, the care needs of older adults, particularly those with functional disabilities, have become an emerging policy issue. Purpose: This study examined the prevalence of unmet needs for care in activities of daily living (ADLs) among Vietnamese older adults with functional disabilities. Methods: We used data from the …
Factors associated with receipt of informal care among the Vietnamese older persons
Background: The rapidly growing older population in Vietnam poses an increasing need for care among the older persons, who have mainly relied on informal care at homes and communities. This study examined the Vietnamese older persons' individual and household factors determining their receipt of informal care. Methods: This study provided cross-tabulations and multivariable regression analyses to identify who provided assistance to the Vietnamese…
Healthcare Services Utilisation and Financial Burden among Vietnamese Older People and Their Households
Given the rapidly ageing population under low middle-income status and the "double burden of diseases", this paper suggested that Vietnam reform the healthcare system and social health insurance so as to provide more equitable utilisation and financial protection to all older persons, including improving the quality of healthcare at the grassroots level and reducing the burden on the provincial/central health level; improving human resources for …

Labour market effects of social insurance reform in Vietnam
This research provides the first evidence on how labour supply and earnings may adjust to the expansion of insurance benefits under the 2014 Social Insurance Law reform. The data for this study come from the Vietnam Labour Force Surveys. Both difference-in-differences and fixed-effect models are used. The estimated results reveal negative reform effects on the work duration and earnings of both sexes and for both rural and urban areas. They also …

Socio-economic-related health inequality in non-communicable diseases among older people in Viet Nam
This study contributes to a growing literature body of studies aimed at explaining socio-economic-related health inequality in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with a focus on older people who are commonly affected by socio-economic gradient in later life. It identifies factors associated with self-reported NCDs and examines socio-economic-related health inequality in self-reported NCDs between rural and urban Vietnamese older people. This cross…
Empirical analysis on the illicit trade of cigarettes in Vietnam
Vietnam's low prices on domestic cigarettes created favourable conditions for cigarette smugglers and provided easy access to illicit cigarettes for the Vietnamese people, but the absence of a relationship between tax changes and smuggling suggested that potential increases in the excise tax should not be discouraged by the threat of an increase in illicit trade. The government should increase taxes on cigarettes to raise domestic cigarette price…

Factors Associated with Depression among Older People in Vietnam
Depression is one of the leading causes of disease burdens in recent years, and it is expected to continue to be so in the coming decades. Depression among older people (defined as those 60 years and older) is associated with disability, increased mortality, and poorer outcomes from physical illness, but it is often under-recognized and under-treated since people know little about the underlying factors influencing it in the elderly, and how they…

Determinants and impacts of international remittances on household welfare in Vietnam
Remittances can potentially help to promote economic development by providing a mechanism to share risks, reduce poverty and improve equality. However, from the viewpoint of economic theory the overall impacts of remittances are uncertain, as different mechanisms lead to opposite impacts. Since the 1990s Vietnam has experienced a dramatic growth in remittance flows from abroad. Vietnam is a unique case for study, as economic motives historically …
