During the questioning session on the afternoon of August 21st, delegate Le Thi Thanh Lam, Deputy Head of the Hau Giang delegation, raised the issue of investment, training, and remuneration for athletes and actors.
According to her, current salaries and support policies are too low to attract and retain talent. She also questioned the compensation policies for athletes when they retire.

Minister Nguyen Van Hung acknowledged that the current remuneration for athletes and artists is not high compared to the general standard, and that the existing policies, issued 5-6 years ago, have not kept pace with development.
Mr. Hung said the Ministry is proposing to the Government to amend relevant regulations to improve income and enhance the living standards of athletes.
Specifically, the Minister shared that the current remuneration for artists is very low, with fourth-tier actors receiving only 40,000 VND per performance, while People's Artists receive 200,000 VND and Meritorious Artists receive 80,000 VND.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has proposed to the Ministry of Finance to update the remuneration levels to reflect the concern of the Party and the State, helping artists feel secure in dedicating themselves to their work.

According to a report by Minister Nguyen Van Hung in May, the country currently has approximately 22,000 athletes affiliated with local authorities and agencies such as the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security. However, compared to many other countries, the policies for rewarding athletes in Vietnam still have many limitations.
Currently, national team athletes only receive a salary of 270,000 VND per day, equivalent to 7 million VND per month, and the nutritional regime does not meet the needs of high-intensity sports.
