In some places, village and neighborhood officials are mostly elderly people or retired officials, essentially "old people shouldering the burden," due to low allowances?The allowance for neighborhood group leaders and village heads is 4.9 million VND/month, so the work is mainly done by elderly people and retired officials. "For example, my allowance as neighborhood group leader is 4.9 million VND/month, which isn't even considered a salary. Living in Hanoi on 5-6 million VND is unsustainable for young people," said Mr. Phu, head of Neighborhood Group No. 27, Dinh Cong Ward, Hanoi.

Update regulations to reflect the new local government model.

To align with the new model of local government organization, the Circular replaces many terms in the current document.

Specifically, the phrase "general minimum wage" is replaced with "base wage" when determining the basis for calculating regional allowances.

At the same time, regulations regarding requests for determining the area eligible for allowances have also been simplified. Accordingly, instead of agencies and units sending documents to the district-level People's Committee for compilation and request, the People's Committees of communes, wards, and special zones will now directly submit written requests.

Throughout the Circular, the phrase "commune, ward, town" is replaced with "commune, ward, special zone," in accordance with the current administrative unit system.

The circular also updates the names of state management agencies, replacing the phrase "Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Labour - Invalids and Social Affairs, Ministry of Finance and Committee for Ethnic Minorities " with "Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religion".

Changes to the appendix regarding the scope of application.

Another new point is the complete replacement of the Appendix "Regional allowance levels for localities and units" issued with the 2005 Joint Circular with the "Appendix listing the areas applying regional allowances" issued with the new Circular.

This adjustment aims to update the application areas to reflect the actual situation after the administrative unit reorganization and to ensure the uniform implementation of the regional allowance system nationwide.
