In previous articles, the author talked to you about the economic development and wage income of various countries, such as South Korea, Russia, India, etc. Today, we will talk about the southern neighbors Vietnam . Vietnam is a southern neighbor of our country. It has to be said that Vietnam has developed very rapidly in recent years. On the Internet, a series of jokes have appeared about the development of Vietnam's economy. At present, Vietnam has a total population of more than 98 million. How much does an ordinary person’s monthly salary cost?
First of all, let’s talk about the basic situation of Vietnam. Vietnam is our southern neighbor, bordering Yunnan and Guangxi. As of 2021, Vietnam's total population is more than 98.2 million, almost the same as the population of Henan Province in our country. According to Vietnam's current population growth, the total population is likely to exceed 100 million in the next few years. It has to be said that the average age of Vietnam's population has a great advantage. Currently, the average age of Vietnam's population is only 32 years old.
Next, let’s talk about Vietnam’s total economic output. In 2021, the total amount of GDP in Vietnam will be 8398.606 trillion Vietnamese Dong , equivalent to approximately US$362.619 billion. According to the exchange rate of last year, it is approximately equivalent to about 2.3 trillion yuan. So, compared with the provinces and regions in our country, what level is Vietnam's total GDP?
21, the total GDP of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of my country was 2.47 trillion yuan, the total GDP of Shanxi Province was 2.25 trillion yuan, and the total GDP of Guizhou Province was 1.95 trillion yuan. In terms of total GDP, Vietnam surpassed Shanxi Province, Guizhou Province and other provinces, and was lower than Guangxi. However, Shanxi Province and Guizhou Province both have a population of more than 30 million, and the total population is much smaller than Vietnam. Henan Province and Shandong Province, which are basically equivalent to Vietnam's population, have a total GDP of 5.88 trillion and 8.3 trillion respectively in 2021.
The total GDP of both provinces is much higher than that of Vietnam. According to statistics, currently, the per capita GDP of in Vietnam is only about US$3,700, which is generally about one-third of my country's per capita GDP. Of course, Vietnam has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, which is recognized by all countries. Some international institutions have included Vietnam as one of the "prospect countries", which means huge development potential.
Next, let’s talk about the history of Vietnam. Like South Korea, Vietnam has a deep connection with the Central Plains dynasty in our country. Vietnam was once part of the Central Plains dynasty and was successively under the management of Jiaozhou and Lingnan Road . During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Vietnam took the opportunity to get rid of the Central Plains dynasty and began to become a vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty. Vietnam learned from the Central Plains dynasty from all aspects, such as clothing, architectural style, imperial examination system , etc. Vietnam abolished the imperial examination system even later than , the Qing Dynasty, .
Vietnamese clothing is even more interesting, with both the shadow of the Ming Dynasty paired jacket and the mark of the Qing Dynasty jacket, which belongs to the Ming and Qing Dynasty mix. The name Vietnam was enthroned by Emperor Jiaqing , Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. In many old videos, Vietnam's dance and etiquette are very similar to those of Guangdong and Guangxi. In 1884, Vietnam became a French colony. During the of World War II, it was occupied by the Japanese army again. After World War II, Vietnam experienced the War of Resistance Against France and the War of Resistance Against the United States, and fought for 30 years.
1973, the US military evacuated Vietnam in full. In 1975, Vietnam completed the reunification of the north and the south. Due to the long-term war, Vietnam's economy has declined and its level in all aspects is very poor. Starting from 1979, Vietnam fell into a long-term military confrontation between the two sides. Vietnam has to be in a state of combat readiness for a long time and maintains an army of more than 1 million for a long time. Vietnam itself is unable to maintain it and has always relied on the Soviet Union's "blood transfusion." According to statistics, the Soviet Union's annual materials and cash aid to Vietnam exceeds 2 billion US dollars.
htmlIn the mid-1980s, after the Soviet Union stopped all aid, Vietnam quickly fell into a dilemma. In 1986, Vietnam quickly began to reform and open up. On the one hand, it eases tensions with neighboring countries, and on the other hand, it attracts external investment. However, the real development of Vietnam's economy was still in the 1990s. In the late 1980s, Vietnam's total GDP was only US$6.2 billion. Vietnam has two advantages, first, the political situation is relatively stable.Second, have a lot of cheap labor. After the mid-to-late 1100s, a series of countries such as South Korea and Japan successively invested and built factories in various parts of Vietnam, and established a series of industrial parks and processing parks, which directly stimulated Vietnam's economic development. Especially after entering the 21st century, Vietnam's economy has developed rapidly and its GDP has grown rapidly. Vietnam claims to have entered the ranks of developed countries in the world by 2045.
So, what is the salary level of ordinary Vietnamese people? In July 2022, Vietnam began to adopt the latest minimum wage. The economic development of Vietnam is unbalanced across the country and the economic levels of each province vary. Therefore, Vietnam divides the country into four levels of minimum wage standards. The monthly minimum wage for a category I region is 4.68 million Vietnamese dong, equivalent to RMB 1,400. The minimum wage in the second category is VND 4.16 million, equivalent to more than RMB 1,240. The monthly minimum wage for the third category of areas is 3.64 million Vietnamese Dongs, equivalent to more than 1,090 yuan. The monthly minimum wage for the four categories of regions is 3.25 million Vietnamese dong, equivalent to more than 970 yuan. The minimum wage standard classification method in Vietnam is very similar to that in my country's first-, second-, third- and fourth-tier cities.
In 2021, Vietnam did a big job. 3.83 million employees of 41,339 enterprises in 60 provinces and cities across the country were counted. Don’t be surprised, Vietnam is divided into 58 provinces across the country, plus several municipalities directly under the central government. According to calculations, in 2021, the average monthly salary of Vietnamese state-owned enterprises will be 9.13 million Vietnamese dong, equivalent to more than 2,730 yuan. As for the average monthly salary of Vietnamese private enterprises, it is only 7.5 million Vietnamese dong, which is about 2,250 yuan.
Of course, foreign-funded enterprises have relatively high salaries. According to statistics, the average monthly salary of foreign-funded enterprises is 8.26 million Vietnamese dong, equivalent to more than 2,470 yuan. Of course, this statistics are not completely accurate. Because according to the data released by Vietnam in December 2021, Vietnam's average monthly salary in 2021 is 5.7 million Vietnamese dong, which is approximately equivalent to more than 1,710 yuan.
Finally, let’s talk about the housing prices in Vietnam. It has to be said that the housing prices in Vietnam are not cheap. In April 2022, the average price of apartments in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam had exceeded US$3,300 per square meter. The average housing price of residential properties in the area reached more than US$7,600 per square meter.
There are many stories about wage levels and economic development in countries around the world. The author will slowly chat with you in future articles.
