This study examines Karl Marx's theory of productive forces, grounded in historical materialism, which posits that social progress depends on labor instruments, human capabilities, and technological advancements. The research aims to analyze their impact on human development in Vietnam within the context of the Industry 4.0 and the Globalization era. Following a dialectical and historical materialist method, the article researches the impact of modern technologies, artificial intelligence, and automation on the capacity and skills of labor, as well as the social consciousness. The results have shown that on one hand, these productive forces further enhance education, health, and living standards. However, they also intensify rural-urban disparities in inequality, industrial worker alienation, and excessive dependence on foreign technology. These findings guide the alteration of the production relations which stems from Marx’s theory to ensure that all members of the society equally benefit from the changesUltimately, this theory supports a holistic approach to human development in Vietnam, necessitating robust foreign investment alongside technological education, labor relation reforms, and the enhancement of collective consciousness amid industrialization and globalization.
