Infrastructure Revolution in Tien Yen: Social Development for All!

Major infrastructure investments are pending in Tien Yen district in Vietnam, where ethnic minorities make up 50% of the population. This development aims to promote local socio-economics, particularly in communities with a high proportion of ethnic minorities. The district aims to expand basic infrastructure to improve transport connectivity, increase travel safety and support manufacturing development. Loud vietnam.vn A total of 207 infrastructure projects are planned in the period 2021-2025, including 90 transport infrastructure works and numerous projects in the fields of culture and irrigation.

A central project is the expansion of the Dong Thang village road in the municipality of Dong Ngu, which has already been concreted. This road, which is 3.5 meters wide and designed for speeds of up to 30 km/h, is intended to connect the center of Dai Duc township with the center of the ancient township of Dai Thanh. The total cost of this project is over VND 150 billion, with a planned completion by the end of 2023. With this, the district aims to increase regional connectivity and boost trade and transport, which in turn contributes to socio-economic development.

Successes in infrastructure

Investments in infrastructure have already brought about visible improvements in the region. Ms Nhi Tai Mui from Dai Duc commune talks about the positive impact on passenger transport and economic development that these investments have had. In addition, a new cultural center was built in Dai Duc Municipality in conjunction with the San Chi Ethnic Cultural Center, which has been in operation since the end of 2022 and hosts cultural activities.

Currently, 99.8% of households in Tien Yen have access to regular electricity. There is also progress in the education and health sectors; 94.2% of schools and 100% of community health centers meet national standards. The appearance of rural areas has significantly improved due to infrastructure investments, and the average per capita income in rural areas now reaches VND 74 million per year. The district also reports that there will no longer be any poor households by the end of 2023.

Socioeconomic integration

The socio-economic integration of population groups, especially immigrants, is a central issue. Loud bpb.de This integration is crucial for participation in the labor market and the use of the potential of these groups. Only 25.5% of immigrants have an academic degree, indicating a relatively low level of education. This is also reflected in the employment rate, which in 2023 will be 73.2% for immigrants and 82.8% for people without an immigrant background.

The at-risk-of-poverty rate for people with a history of immigration is 24.3%, significantly higher than for people without a history of immigration (11.5%). Children with a migrant background in particular are disproportionately affected, which points to ongoing challenges that need to be overcome. With its investments, the Tien Yen district not only pursues infrastructural goals, but also contributes to the long-term participation and integration of ethnic minorities.
