Resumo

This study examines the application and challenges of Marxist distribution principles within Vietnam’s socio-economic context, particularly in its transition toward a socialist-oriented market economy amidst growing income inequality. Despite significant economic growth and poverty reduction during the Doi Moi period, income disparities remain prevalent, influenced by regional, urban-rural, and sectoral differences. By analyzing statistical data and theoretical frameworks, this research explores how Marxist theories of labor-based distribution are applied and assesses their effectiveness in addressing modern economic disparities. The study also integrates Paulo Freire’s educational theories to highlight the role of education in promoting social equity. The findings suggest that while Vietnam’s economic policies reflect Marxist principles, significant challenges persist in achieving equitable wealth distribution. Key recommendations include enhancing educational quality, expanding job creation, improving rural living standards, and reforming the income distribution system. These insights offer valuable guidance for policymakers and contribute to the broader discourse on income inequality in transitional economies.
