According to NSO Director Nguyen Thi Huong, the income structure is shifting in a more progressive and sustainable direction, with the proportion of wages and wage-like earnings continuing to rise in total household income. Alongside rising per capita income, survey results indicate that household living standards remained stable throughout 2025. Household income during the year showed a more stable and positive trend than in the same period of 2024. Key measures included continued support and allowances for people who rendered services to the nation, the poor, disadvantaged groups and social protection beneficiaries. Continued support for free health insurance cards and medical examination cards for eligible groups further eased healthcare-related financial burdens.
