本研究调查了越南两个最大城市----河内和胡志明的贫困状况和决定因素。本研究使用的数据来自2009年城市贫困调查。按照每年12，000越南盾的贫困线计算，河内的贫困率估计为17.4%，胡志明市为12.5%。有很大一部分穷人被发现是偶然贫穷的。河内的结构性贫困率高于胡志明市。结构性贫困人口和非结构性贫困人口的比例相当小。总的来说，穷人的资产比非穷人少。穷人的住房条件也较差，特别是他们获得自来水的机会比非穷人少得多。与非贫困家庭的户主相比，贫困家庭的户主受教育程度往往较低，从事的工作也不熟练。
This study examines the profile and determinants of poverty in the two largest cities in Vietnam – Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Data used in this study are from the 2009 Urban Poverty Survey. Using the poverty line of 12,000 thousand VND/year, the poverty incidence is estimated at 17.4 percent for Hanoi and 12.5 percent for Ho Chi Minh (HCM) city. There is a large proportion of the poor who are found stochastically poor. Hanoi has higher rates of structurally poverty than HCM city. The proportion of structurally poor and stochastically non-poor is rather small. Overall, the poor have fewer assets than the non-poor. The poor also have poorer housing conditions, especially they have much lower access to tap water than the non-poor. Heads of the poor households tend to have lower education and unskilled works than the heads of the non-poor households.
