Tóm tắt

The middle-class in Vietnam is now of considerable size, but its social participation and proactiveness remain limited. Middle-class families have not yet engaged much in activities which are socially constructive and critical. They pay more attention to aspects of daily life rather than macro-social issues. They often react to issues with “safer” and more neutral actions rather than socially-critical ones. A part of middle-class families is still apathetic or sceptical about the possibility to address social issues surrounding them. The explanation for such a situation is that the modern middle class in Vietnam has just been established and needs more time to develop and assert their social responsibility as well as self-awareness of social status and contributions to the current development of society.
