First article: Spreading policies to every citizen
With many specific mechanisms and policies issued and the participation of the entire political system, the Steering Committee of Program No. 08-CTr/TU of the Hanoi Party Committee has closely followed the leadership of the Party Committee and the government; promoted the synchronous strength from the city to the grassroots, creating consensus among the people. Thanks to that, the development of the social security system, improving the welfare and quality of life of the people has achieved many remarkable results. The Program has affirmed its correctness and profound humanity, and at the same time played a fundamental role in building and developing the social security system of the Capital.
Implement comprehensive social security policy
Unlike previous school years, in the 2025-2026 school year, Ms. Mai Thi Phuong and her husband, workers at Thang Long Industrial Park, have had their financial burden eased when both their children received meals from the city. Ms. Mai Thi Phuong shared: “This year, due to unstable jobs, my husband and I were very worried when our children entered the new school year. However, our worries were relieved when our children were exempted from tuition fees and the city of Hanoi supported them with 30,000 VND/meal. This is truly a practical source of support for my family.”
The 2025-2026 school year is the first year that Hanoi city implements Resolution No. 18/2025/NQ-HDND of the City People's Council on the mechanism to support boarding meals for more than 760,000 primary school students, with a total support budget of more than 3,000 billion VND. This policy has received great consensus from parents and the whole society because it demonstrates the timely concern of the city's leaders for the future generations of the country, especially in the context of the difficult lives of many families.
Not only caring for and supporting meals for primary school students, with the desire to care for and encourage children to overcome difficulties to study well, contributing to the good social security work in the city, right when preparing to enter the new school year, the Center for Social Work and the Hanoi Children's Support Fund in collaboration with Bao Viet Dong Do Life Insurance Company organized the donation of the "Dream Bicycle Fund". As one of 20 students with difficult circumstances who achieved good results in studying and training in Duong Noi ward to receive a bicycle worth nearly 2 million VND, Le Bao Long, an 8th grade student, shared: "The bicycle is a precious gift for me. Having a means of transportation, my way to school will be less difficult, and at the same time, it will give me more motivation to study and train well, becoming a useful citizen for society".
The city's comprehensive social security policy is also reflected in the regulations on the content and level of support for voluntary social insurance and health insurance for social policy beneficiaries in the area; taking care of the lives of policy families, supporting poor households to build Great Solidarity houses, and supporting means and livelihoods to escape poverty sustainably.
Mr. Hoang Dinh Tin's family (Tan Trung Chua village, Noi Bai commune) is one of the households that has received attention from the city, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the commune, military units, businesses and neighbors. For many years, his family has always been on the list of the most difficult households in the locality. The couple is old and weak, often sick, living in a dilapidated level 4 brick house with no outbuildings... After receiving support to build a new 40m² house worth more than 200 million VND, Mr. Hoang Dinh Tin shared: "The storms of the past few days no longer worry us. This house is like a dream come true."
Program No. 08-CTr/TU dated March 17, 2021 of the Hanoi Party Committee on "Developing the social security system, improving social welfare and quality of life of the people of the Capital in the period of 2021-2025" is defined with 27 targets, 12 tasks and 5 key groups of solutions, with profound humanity, directly related to the lives of the people of the Capital. According to the Standing Office of the Steering Committee, after more than 4 years of implementation, the set goals have been basically completed, with only 1 target expected to be completed by the end of the term, which is "the rate of people receiving health management". Of which, 19 targets exceeded the plan. Typically: The unemployment rate is expected to be 2.54% by 2025 (target below 3%); the cremation rate is 82% (target 73-75%); The rate of workers participating in unemployment insurance reached 44.9% (target 40%); the rate of health insurance coverage reached 95.25% (target 95%). Notably, up to now, Hanoi no longer has poor households according to the city's standards...
Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, Head of the Steering Committee of Program No. 08-CTr/TU of the City Party Committee emphasized: The highlight of the Program is the full and timely implementation of regimes and policies; many specific policies have been issued. In particular, the city prioritizes resources for infrastructure investment in rural areas, ethnic minority and mountainous areas. The health, education and social security networks have been firmly consolidated, creating conditions for people to access essential public services conveniently and meet their needs.
Expanding the beneficiaries
A highlight in the implementation of Program No. 08-CTr/TU is that the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the city's socio-political organizations have promoted a proactive role in propaganda and mobilization of people, while monitoring and organizing effective social security activities. In particular, the implementation of policies to support people, workers and businesses affected by the Covid-19 pandemic has created an important foundation for socio-economic recovery and development. The city also organized many activities to care for people's material and spiritual lives such as giving Tet gifts with higher value, expanding the recipients; promoting policy credit programs to create jobs, increase stable income for people, support poor households and policy beneficiaries to access preferential capital for production and business.
The results of these activities have significantly improved the material and spiritual life of the people of the capital. The average income per capita in 2024 is estimated at 7,546,000 VND/person/month. By 2025, the city will have no more poor households, maintain no households falling back into poverty, and prevent the emergence of new poor households according to the poverty standards of Hanoi city. "Social policies are fully, promptly and effectively implemented. The material and spiritual life of the people is increasingly improved. Thereby, it is affirmed that Program No. 08-CTr/TU of the City Party Committee has demonstrated its superiority and humanity," emphasized Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan.
From the solid houses replacing the dilapidated ones that appeared all over the city to the reassuring smiles of people when they returned to their new homes, had the means and livelihood to do business... it shows that social security is not only a major policy, but has also been vividly present in the lives of the people of the capital. These practical results are also clear evidence for the participation of the entire city's political system in implementing Program No. 08-CTr/TU of the Hanoi Party Committee, contributing to building a civilized, modern but still meaningful and affectionate capital.
