The economy of rural life
In Vietnam three
quarters of its land is
used for farming and
about 80% of
Vietnamese people live
in the rural areas. Two
thirds of the workforce
work in agriculture.
Conditions in rural areas
are tough and farmers
need to work long
hours, and the children
must work after or
before school to earn
money for the family.
At harvest time the
children must help at
home and not go to
school.

in an area beside the house.

buy rice, vegetables, fruit and seafood.

cities are now being built in the rural areas.

Environmental Rural
• In Vietnam, rural areas are home to more than 70% of
the population and natural resources have been
heavily polluted by rapid economic growth. These
include mounting population growth, lost farm land,
serious poverty particularly in remote mountainous
areas, and polluted working and living environments.
• A vast range of rural land, water and air resources
have been heavily degraded by over-use, erosion,
flooding, polluting agro-industries, poor sewerage,
chemical waste water, pesticides and fertilizer, land
use planning, in-migration, and inappropriate

• Apart from the apparent degradation on forest and
farm lands, the pollution from agro-industries in craft
villages and small industrial farms is a feature of rural
life.
• The production of pottery, bricks, wine, food
processing, carpets and metal castings produces
