National Economics University provides important material in real life High rates of poverty reduction the most difficult area Laos The Ph.D thesis on economics of Khamphanh Pheuyavong (2013), National Economics University with the theme "Improving poverty reduction policy of Lao PDR" is a comprehensive research topic on policies Strategic significance of many countries 1.3 Overview of some key contents of the research related to the topic The research we have covered in the last two sections deals with almost all of the issues related to the research objectives of this thesis, the inevitability of the link between economic growth by addressing a satisfactory social problem as the society strives for holistic and sustainable development Forms of coherence have been put into place in the following theoretical and practical insights The first is a widely recognized general perception as the basic lesson learned after studying any coherence that has been made, that cannot be ignored in either side, or Two areas, one on the one side, economic growth and one on the other hand address the social problems that arise in the process of economic growth dependence on an external economy for economic progress, economic ruin in the last moments cannot be anticipated Although there are many different interpretations, the term is very close to the concept of "sustainable development" increasingly mentioned in theories of economic growth, in the economic perspective of governments In other words, improving the quality of economic growth is a way of achieving continuous economic growth that has a direct effect on other areas of social life However, researchers sometimes use this term to indicate progress in a particular area, such as investment quality (investment in the right direction, reasonable investment versus GDP, effective investment fruit, quality of labor, quality and knowledge content in the product cost The second is a theoretical understanding, it is in essence life, economic growth is not a purely economic process, but it must be a social process Thirdly, it is the general social change as a result of economic growth and social equality that inevitably leads to the fact that effective policies, plans and methods are missing out on obsolete The problem is: How to know that the need to adjust, innovation as appropriate This is an extremely difficult field, because social development itself is always a process of design, construction, no predetermined, no "magic wand." Which arguments outline the path and solution Addressing this issue depends on the stature and competence of governments, as a place to plan and command social development programs Finally, the application of the lessons that countries have left to apply to the process of linking economic growth and social justice in Lao PDR must always be considered on two areas On the one hand, it is necessary to learn good experiences with a modest attitude On the other hand, the use must be very creative and practical, in particular, impossible to stereotype, machinery In short, there is no specific study linking economic growth with social justice in Laos, both in terms of practicality and general theory This is also the reason for us to select this topic as the research topic of the thesis Chapter INTELLECTUAL PROBLEMS AND GOOD PRACTICE ON ASSEMBLY ECONOMIC GROWTH WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL EQUIPMENT 2.1 Theory of economic growth 2.1.1 The concept of economic growth Economic growth refers to the increase in the output of an economy (world, region, country, region, sector ) over a given period (usually one year) In terms of economic growth, GDP (gross domestic product), gross national income (GNI), national income (NI), total production value (GO) average per capita income Quality of economic growth The birth of the word "quality of economic growth" is a step forward in the understanding of the social significance of economic growth The fact is that economic growth has not always brought about social progress and human wellbeing Although it is only a matter of purely economic consideration, economic growth is not always economy If we destroy our environment, create more gulfs between the rich and the poor, exploit our resources and accept our 2.1.2 Growth metrics a Gross output is the sum of the value of a physical product and service produced on a country's territory over a given period (usually one year) b Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is the sum of the final value of a physical product and service resulting from a country's economic performance over a given period of time c Gross national income (GNI) This is an indicator that appeared in the 1993 SNA table instead of the GNP index used in the 1968 SNA In terms of content, the GNI and the GNP are the same, but using the GNI is a telling approach Enter, not the product aspect of production as GNP In this respect, the GNI is the gross income from the final product and service produced by a citizen of a given country for a specified period of time GNI = GDP + Difference in factor income from foreign countries Income difference factor = Earn factor income Pay off factors abroad with foreign countries from abroad d National income (NI): is the value of new products and services created over a specified period of time NI is the gross national income (GNI) after excluding the fixed capital depreciation of the economy (Dp) NI = GNI − D p e National Disposable Income (NDI) is the national income for final consumption and net accumulation for a given period of time NDI = NI + Difference in current transfer with foreign countries Difference in current transfer = Current transfer revenue Payment of current with foreign countries with foreign countries transfer abroad f Per capita income In terms of income, GNI and GNI are also used to measure the per capita income of each country (GDP per person, GNI per capita) This indicator reflects economic growth taking into account population change The scale and growth of per capita incomes are important indicators to reflect and a prerequisite to raising the general standard of living The steady increase of this indicator is a sign of sustainable growth and is also used in comparing living standards among nations begins and ends on 45 °, which means that 0% of the population corresponds to 0% of income and 100% of the population to 100% of income The points on the Lorenz curve reflect how many% of the population correspond to how many% of income (figure below) 100 Thu nhập cộng dồn (%) 2.1.3 Growth drivers 2.1.3.1 Factors that directly affect the total supply - Capital (K) is an important input material that has a direct impact on economic growth - Labor (L): They are laborers with production skills, laborers who can operate complicated machinery and laborers who have new ideas and methods in economic activities - Natural resources and land (R): Land is an important factor in agricultural production and is an indispensable factor in the arrangement of economic establishments in the industries and services - Technology (T) Technological elements need to be fully understood in two forms: first, they are the achievements of knowledge, ie knowledge of science, the study of the principles, the trial of product improvement, technological process or technical equipment; Second, the widespread adoption of research and experimental results in order to improve the general level of production 80 Đường 450 60 Đường Lorenz 40 20 20 40 60 Dân số cộng dồn (%) 80 100 Figure 2.1 Lorenz Street 2.2 Basic issues of social justice 2.2.1 The concept of social justice Social equality is the set of principles and practices that are created by the state, the law and social relationships to establish realities that meet physical and mental needs, The social conditions for the members of the society, aiming to ensure the society is always harmonious, stable and development (ii) GINI coefficient A measurement, widely used in practice today, is based on quite successful succession, and at the same time overcomes the limitations of the Lorenz line tool, which is the GINI coefficient, named a statistician The Italian study (Corradio Gini), 1912 study The quantitative calculation of GINI is also consistent with Lorenz's comparison of the income gap between population groups and gross national income (total income made by the population group) (iii) Kuznets ratio The Kuznets ratio is the ratio of the income proportion of the population to the highest income level and the share of income in the population of the lowest income population, (x may be different from y, and Value 5%, 10%, 20% etc ) These ratios are essentially "pieces" on the Lorenz Road, and it only serves to assess the degree of social divide between the richest and the poorest poles (iv) Proportion of income of the poorest people This measure is the share of income in x% of the population with the lowest income (x can be 10% or 20%, etc.) 2.2.1 The measure of social justice (i) Lorenz curve The Lorenz curve is expressed in a graph, where the vertical axis is the percentage of cumulative income (20%, 40%, etc.), and the horizontal axis (horizontal axis) is Percentage of cumulative population is sorted by population group with increasing income (20%, 40%, etc 100%) The 450 reflects the distribution in absolute equilibrium (what percentage of the population is the percentage of income), we call this the theoretical distribution The Lorenz line 2.3 The relationship between economic growth and social justice Economic growth and the realization of social justice are two distinctive categories, nevertheless there is a mutually reinforcing relationship in the process of socio-economic development of a country Hence, when developing the development orientation for each specific period, there must be a proper combination between economic growth and social justice The objective of economic growth should be implemented at the same time or in conjunction with the implementation of social justice The early combination of economic 2.1.3.2 Factors affecting aggregate demand Macroeconomics has shown that there are four direct elements of aggregate demand: - Expenditure for personal consumption (C) - Government spending (G) - Expenditure on investment (I) - Spending on import and export (NX = X-M) 9 10 growth and good social justice is an important factor in sustainable development goal in building a prosperous, democratic, developed and civilized country On the one hand, the principles and rules of the market mist be adhered to and committed to international integration to create a sufficient and transparent environment and incentives for resources utilization and continuous market improvement and Social investment On the other hand, it does not absolutize role of the market, neglecting the role of tectonic and macroeconomic adjustment of the state 2.4 Linking economic growth with social justice 2.4.1 The concept of linking economic growth with social justice: Linking economic growth with social justice is a process of deliberate and meaningful action by the state through strategies, plans, laws, policies, and regulators The economy and social relations in order to stimulate and create conditions and motive force for economic growth; at the same time, step by step organize and implement the equality of community 2.4.2 The need to link economic growth with social justice - Linking economic growth with the implementation of social justice to achieve the goal of sustainable development of socio-economic of the country - Linking economic growth with the implementation of social justice is the basis for stabilizing the country's politics - Linking economic growth towards social justice is inevitable both in theory and in practice 2.4.3 Content linked economic growth with the implementation of social justice 2.4.3.1 Strategically, the focus must be on economic growth with social justice in the sense that it will create resources, including material resources and human resources, for sustainable development Linking economic growth with social justice has a role to play in implementing sustainable development 2.4.3.2 Developing a roadmap and steps to link economic growth with social justice On the roadmap, the steps to link economic growth with the social justice of the Party congresses and the five-year plans of the state will be tasked to summarize the situation in the previous periods, clearly aware and honestly the achievements and omissions and the causes On that basis, set goals, measures and concrete steps over the next five-year period and visions further It is necessary to avoid impatience and willpower while setting goals and targets, always respecting the rationality in linking economic growth towards social justice 2.4.3.3 Applying the relationship between the State and the market in building institutions link economic growth with the implementation of social justice The relationship between the state and the market in creating institutions that links economic growth with social justice are not a conflicting, eliminating, and restraining relationship, but there is a mutual relationship Together, they are mobilizing and complementing each other in one body and towards the common 2.4.3.4 Promulgate and implement policies to promote economic growth to achieve social justice If the establishment of a steering committee dedicated to promote economic growth is difficult, the development of policies and measures to link economic growth are many reasons to apply This work may cover the following areas: First of all, investment policy and investment activities promote growth This is a great potential opportunity link economic growth with social justice Investment policies are the key tool for execution of economic and social programs, Depending on the state and local economic development plans, Second, policy and development measures for economic sectors Third, financial and monetary policy measures to raise capital for investment and development sectors This is a very effective tool to achieve the goals of promoting economic growth Fourth, policy and implementation measures for infrastructure development Infrastructure is an important condition for promoting socio-economic development For countries in the process of moving to market economy such as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia The construction of a modern and synchronous infrastructure system will be an important factor to promote the process of economic restructuring, raising the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy Fifth, policies and measures to develop education and training to improve the quality of human resources Sixth, policies measures for the development of science and technology In this day and age, it has been learned that not only countries that occupy more land and money are developed countries, but science and technology will determine the position and hierarchy of development family 2.4.3.5 Gradually organizing and implementing the social justice parallelize with the growth results of the economy Establishment of salary payment and income redistribution mechanism to achieve social justice The salary policy is an important part of the socio-economic policy system, which not only directly impact the lives of the workers, but also affects 11 12 the production and business activities and work efficiency, economic growth and political and social stability In addition to wages, employees' incomes can be increased or decreased through redistribution In Lao PDR, the more important redistribution of income is to limit the excess of income in order not to lead to a widening gap between the rich and the poor Redistribution of income is done in the form of taxes and voluntary contributions from highincome individuals to social welfare and charity funds Social policies such as welfare, health care and human health are also a key area of social justice This sector has a great deal of content and satisfactory resolution to a certain extent, often directly reflecting the nature of the political system, the basis of social stability development, transportation, information and communication, especially the dynamics of the people, are the advantages to deploy Link plans They are easier to chart economic growth plans, structural change Democratic governance reforms development of environmental protection, culture, especially in the environment and natural resources 2.4.5.4 Impact from political regime Political regime has an important influence on linking economic growth with the implementation of social justice For the group of developing countries, the government cannot overlook of social security and social justice issues in the process of developing the country, including economic growth Political parties, when campaigning, must uphold both economic and social dimensions, economic growth and social justice, if not willing to accept failures 2.4.4 Criteria for assessing the link between economic growth and social justice The goal of linking economic growth with social justice is to move towards a sustainable development of the nation Therefore, the criteria for assessing the link between economic growth and social equity must be considered in comparison with the harmonious development of economic development with social development and ecological environment There are certain elements to create people’s life better as following: - Sustainable economic growth: - Society for sustainable development - The human environment is protected and renewed with increasing quality - The consistency between the policy of economic growth and social policy 2.4.5 Factors that influence the link between economic growth and social justice 2.4.5.1 Natural condition Natural conditions affect the process of linking economic growth with the implementation of social justice through business production Simultaneously, the impact of weather, climate, and hydrology also create difficulties Towel, the corresponding advantage in all historical periods 2.4.5.2 The level of economic development of the country All aspects of national development are the starting point for all strategies of sustainable development in general and for linking economic growth with poverty reduction in particular In countries that have undergone a period of major mechanical engineering, as a result of the need for long-term market 2.4.5.3 Historical, social and human factors Historical, social and humanitarian factors are the basis for setting concrete goals and methods for implementing specific steps of linking economic growth with social justice They create a set of cultural and spiritual values that are very valuable to the social life in general, and spontaneously formulate traditional behaviors when dealing with specific tasks of development A civilized society is just and equitable in every nation 2.4.5.5 International context Looking at the whole picture, the international context can create advantages or disadvantages for linking economic growth with social justice The United Nations is constantly concerned and warns governments to take care of social issues International financial institutions provide significant and regular financial resources for poverty alleviation programs and programs, community development, capacity building in governance, democratic development and many other issues Other issues also have implications for linking economic growth with social justice 2.5 Experience linking economic growth with the social justice of some countries in the world The dissertation examines the experience of linking economic growth with the social justice of several countries such as; Germany, the Republic of Cuba and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and has drawn the following lessons for reference of Lao People's Democratic Republic: Firstly, to perfection the model of socio-economic development The model sets out national strategies and plans that link economic growth with social justice Secondly, achieving the market economy in the direction of creating unity of perception and action Third, development and implementation of economic development policy with social policy 13 14 Fourth, interested in developing distribution policies to ensure the interests of the State, workers and enterprises Fifth, extending welfare policy, forming a multi-tier social security policy system prosperous country, fair and civilized society; human being at the center of sustainable development; more and more satisfy the material and spiritual needs of people of all stratetgiesThe basic issues that should be prioritized for the development of Lao PDR now and in the coming years are: Firstly, to build and perfect the state of the people and of the laborers; Secondly, to promote international integration, to associate the building of an independent economy with deep integration into the international economy, to develop a market economy; Third, maintain and stabilize politics; Fourth, take a leapfrog, develop new science and technology; Fifth, to renovate and improve the efficiency of investment, the diversification of capital sources and forms of investment; create a special mechanism to attract foreign investment; Sixth, focus on improving the quality of education, training and human resources development; Seventh, ensure security and defense, firmly defend the independence, national sovereignty and territorial integrity Chapter SITUATION OF ECONOMIC GROWTH GROWTH TO IMPLEMENT SOCIAL WELFARE IN LAO PDR 3.1 Overview of socio-economic conditions in Lao PDR impact on linking economic growth with the implementation of social justice Laos is a country in Southeast Asia, with a natural area of 236,800 km2 In general terms, conditions in Laos are more difficult to develop in an economy The delta accounts for only 20% of the country's natural area, while Laos is an agricultural country, accounting for 75% of the nation's labor force The mountainous area of Laos occupies 50% of the natural area Especially, the hills and mountains in Laos are strongly divided, especially in upper Laos This feature is a great challenge for the construction and development of technical facilities of the transport sector But the hills and mountains of Laos have very important advantages such as timber and forest resources, mineral resources and tourism Laos has paid attention on solving the energy problem for economic development, it must rely on hydropower potential is main The Mekong River stretches over 1835 km long in Laos, with high altitude differences creating many cascades and large areas that can be used to build large reservoirs One of the biggest limitations on the natural conditions of Laos is the lack of seas However, this limitation has been overcome by the highway linking the capital Vientiane to Vietnam 3.2 The state of the measures has been applied to link economic growth with the implementation of social justice 3.2.1 Situation of developing strategies to link economic growth with social justice The theory of sustainable development was received by the Lao PDR in the late twentieth century Recognizing the shortcomings, deficiencies, and serious deficiencies of previous growth strategies, the Lao PDR and Lao PDR strongly responded strongly to the ideas and programs of sustainable development of the Union Country Sustainable development has become one of the main ideas in the development of Lao PDR's socio-economic development strategy The 7th National Congress of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) in 2001 set up a 10-year socio-economic development strategy with a view to developing the country comprehensively with the focus on building a 3.2.2 The status of roadmap, the steps to link economic growth with the implementation of social justice Period 2006 - 2010 The Sixth Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), adopted at the Eighth National Congress of the Lao PDR's Lao People's Democratic Republic, sets out specific objectives, many of which directly address the indicators combine economic growth with solving social justice issues 1- Annual economic growth is 7.5-8% 2- Ensuring the balance in economic development, social development and environmental protection; 3- Ensure the maintenance of existing infrastructure; 4- Strongly developing the external economy; 5- Improve the financial sector, manage bad debt, reform monetary policy; 6- To study effective measures to develop comprehensively in such fields as education and compulsory primary education; 7- Enhancing the quality of public administration; The 2011-2015 period The Ninth National Congress of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, held in March 2011, affirmed the determination to strengthen united solidarity among the Party and people; Strengthening and upholding the leadership and leadership capacity of the Party, making a strong step in organizing the implementation of the Party-led renewal process; bring the country out of underdevelopment by 2020; creating a premise for the country to advance socialism 15 16 Bringing into play the achievements and experiences gained during the implementation of the 2006-2010 socio-economic development plan, the national socio-economic development plan for 2011-2015 includes two major strategies : Development plan to build and develop the country to escape from underdevelopment To achieve this goal, it is necessary to focus on the development of economic sectors in order to have both high and sustainable development rates, develop human resources, reduce unsettled issues and economic imbalances Development plans for the development of priority sectors such as: agro-forestry-fishery; A number of major industries and industries are essential for the industrialization and modernization and economic development of the country; Development zone planning includes: industrial sector; Special Economic Zone - Private - Border; The center of the economy, with the construction of Vientiane as the political, economic, cultural and social center of the country, an international service center and international tourism destinations The To build transport infrastructure linking domestic and regional areas; Building social infrastructure with education networks in all villages, all districts and all provinces in the country; To build a modern regional hospital in Vientiane and medium-sized hospitals in the North, Central and South; Protecting national forests and afforestation so that forest cover covers 65% of the national area; To fulfill international obligations and create competitiveness in the region and in the world; Develop measures to cope with the effects of nature In terms of economic institutions, Laos’s advocates not holding a power agency dedicated to linking economic growth with social justice But the reality is that leadership, linking economic growth with social justice is a routine work that is gaining profound interest in all sectors 3.2.3 The state of the relationship between the state and the market in building institutions link economic growth with the implementation of social justice Laos' economic development strategy determines the use of market relations to liberate its production forces, creating a production relationship that is consistent with the productive forces In fact, after more than 30 years of transition to a market economy, all kinds of markets have been synchronously formed and linked better and better with the world market Types of enterprises based on different forms of ownership (a fundamental condition for the existence of a market economy) are encouraged to develop, direct administrative interventions, and the State to enterprises be removed; In that spirit, the Ninth Congress of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (2011) highly appreciated the need to perfect the market economy institution, creating a solid premise for the successful construction and synchronous operation a market oriented economy in Lao PDR; contributing to the mobilization and allocation and use of all resources to promote the socioeconomic development of fast and sustainable 3.2.4 Current status of policies and measures to promote economic growth to achieve social justice Measures to promote economic growth towards the achievement of social justice are implemented through: - Policies and measures to encourage investment; - Policies and measures to develop the industry - Financial and monetary policies and measures to raise capital for investment, promote growth; - Policies and measures for development of infrastructure - The policy and situation of education and training development in order to raise the quality of human resources - Policies and measures to develop science and technology 3.2.5 The status of policies and measures to achieve social justice in line with the economic growth; For this content, the thesis focused on salary payment and income redistribution In general, the average salary of workers in Lao PDR is not high: about 119 USD / person (Vietnam is 181 USD / person, Cambodia is 121 USD / person and Indonesia is 174 USD / person) However, no difference in living standard between the lowest wage earner and the highest wage earner According to the current wage index of 6,700 Kip Lao, the lowest wage earner in the lowest quota of 904,500 Kip Lao, the highest wage earner in the highest quintile (head of state) is 4,690 000 Kip Lao, which is 5.18 times higher than the lowest wage earners Compared to the salary level of the head of state with the starting salary of graduate graduates is 1.514.200 Kip Lao, the head of state salary is 3.1 times higher In addition, the thesis also analyzes the contents related to the mechanism of income redistribution, through taxes and fees; Poverty alleviation programs; activities of welfare and social relief; status of insurance performance; Issues such as reforming administrative procedures, promoting democracy, public health care, building cultural life to serve the assessment of the results of linking economic growth with implementation social balance 3.3 Evaluation of the results of linking economic growth with social justice in Lao PDR according to criteria - Criteria for economic growth In the five-year period from 2011 to 2015, the size of the Lao economy grew steadily, reflecting the country's GDP and per capita GDP, both in terms 17 18 of size and pace The growth rate is quite stable at 8-9% per year and there are no big fluctuations Table: GDP growth and GDP per capita between 2010 and 2015 Unit 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 the priority beneficiaries of the regime, with the objective that their living standards must be equal to or more than average living of the people However, in addition to the successes achieved, the right to social justice in Lao PDR is not straightforward: it is reflected in the following figures: Chart: Gini coefficient of Laos in
