This study examines how poverty reduction has been associated with economic growth and inequality in Vietnam. It finds that although the speed of poverty reduction was lower in the 2000s than in the 1990s, economic growth was more pro‐poor in the latter period. During the 1993–98 period, expenditure inequality increased and the poverty reduction during this period was mainly caused by economic growth. During the 2004–08 period, however, expenditure inequality decreased, thereby contributing to poverty reduction. The poverty incidence declined by around 5 percentage points, of which expenditure growth and redistribution contributed 2.8 and 2.2 percentage points of poverty reduction, respectively.

越南的经济增长，不平等与贫困

这项研究探讨了减贫与越南的经济增长和不平等之间的关系。研究发现，尽管2000年代减贫的速度低于1990年代，但后期的经济增长更为贫困。在1993-98年期间，支出不平等加剧，这一时期的贫困减少主要是经济增长引起的。但是，在2004-08年期间，支出不均减少了，从而有助于减少贫困。贫困发生率下降了约5个百分点，其中支出增长和再分配分别占扶贫的2.8和2.2个百分点。
