Women Engaged in Household Economy: The Programme of Poverty Alleviation in Areas Outside Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

Women play a very important role in the national economy. They are engaged in production, commerce, and in supplying necessary services to society. Moreover, they contribute not only to development, but also to perpetuating the race: no one can replace them. Ho Chi Minh City faces the urgent problem of creating gainful employment to help women and their families to escape, as quickly as possible, hunger and poverty.
