Abstract

According to the Multidimensional Poverty Measurement applied in Ho Chi Minh City, most of migrant workers who work for the informal sectors  (informal migrant workers) in Ho Chi Minh City are not poor on income, but they lack of access to social dimensions, especially vocational training, social insurance, health insurance and home. One of the key factors is that, they have not been involved in social protection policies of Ho Chi Minh City, even though Ho Chi Minh City is the leading city with many policies supporting for migrant workers.
