Sticking with the object, purpose, research task, the author of the thesis identified a number of issues that need further study and clarification in the thesis: Firstly, it clarifies the theoretical issues related to policies and the process of implementing social security policies and also clarifies the Party's guidelines and policies and the practical application of Dien Bien province on social security Secondly, presenting the state of social security in Dien Bien province before 2004 and analyzing the factors affecting the implementation of social security policies in Dien Bien province from the time of establishing the province in 2004 to 2014 Thirdly, clarify the process of implementing social security policies in Dien Bien province in the areas of: creating jobs for workers;

for lonely elderly people, orphaned children, disabled people, the weak, people affected by natural calamities In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), Article 22 addresses the concept of social security; International Labor Organization (ILO) introduced the concept of social security; The World Bank (WB) is one of the organizations with a lot of contributions to supporting the implementation of social security policies in many countries around the world to define social security; Agreeing with the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) also stated the concept of social security; In Vietnam, according to the Vietnam Encyclopedia Dictionary, Volume I, researchers and policy makers have agreed to introduce the concept of social security; At an international workshop with the topic: "Social security system in Vietnam" on August 22, 2007, Dr Nguyen Hai Huu introduced the concept of social security; From above aspects, in order to unify easily, according to the author of the thesis, the concept of the International Labor Organization (ILO) is used: “Social security is a protection that society provides to cities Through a number of widely applied measures to cope with difficulties, economic and social shocks that result in loss or serious loss of income due to illness, maternity, and injury due to labor, loss of labor, or death Providing medical care and subsidies to victims' families with children ”or to put it more succinctly:“ Social security is the provision of welfare for households and individuals through the mechanism of the state or collectives to prevent a decline in living standards or improve low living standards ” 2.1.1.2 Concept of social security policy According to the concept of social security above, it can be seen that Social security is the first and foremost protection of society for its members This protection is achieved through public measures and by the government's social policies The purpose of these policies is to create a legal corridor or regulations, committed to helping members of society in the face of events, "social risks" that lead to reduction or loss of income … Accordingly, the concept of social security policy is also defined by Vietnamese researchers and policy makers: “Social security policy is a basic social policy of the State to implement prevention function, limiting and overcoming risks, ensuring income and safety for members of society " According to Resolution 15-NQ / TW of June 1, 2012, Vietnam's social security policy system is built on the risk management principle, while emphasizing the role of providing basic social services for The people, including basic policy groups as follows: (1) Employment policy group to ensure minimum income and reduce poverty (2) Social insurance policy group (3) Social assistance policy group (4) Basic social service policies to increase access to basic services to a minimum Compared to the popular model in the world, the social security policy system in Vietnam has a specific component, which is a social preferential policy for people with meritorious services to the revolution 2.1.2 Some theoretical issues about social security After World War II (1945), the social security theory was expanded to research in many developed capitalist countries and spread to the independent countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean Since 1935, the United States has enacted the Social Security Act, which provides for the protection of the elderly, survivors, disability and unemployment benefits Since then, the term social security is officially used and the world considers it to be the first law on social security By 1941, social security was mentioned in the Atlantic Charter, and later the International Labor Organization (ILO) formally adopted the term social security in international conventions In Vietnam, in the first half of the twentieth century, President Ho Chi Minh's noble aspiration and purpose was to liberate the people and bring about social progress and justice, "fellow citizens can also work and work well-dressed, well educated, frail elderly people, children are cared for ” With a strategic, comprehensive and creative vision, President Ho Chi Minh has initiated and laid the foundation for the implementation of social policies in general, including the social security system in particular in each specific period of the revolutionary process in our country Applying the Marxist-Leninist creations The Communist Party of Vietnam is always interested in developing and perfecting the theory of social security; strengthening the development of the legal system and policies for the development of social sectors in general and social security in particular 2.2 Factors affect to social security in Dien Bien province from 2004 to 2014 2.2.1 Natural and social -economic conditions 2.2.1.1 Natural conditions Dien Bien province has geographical coordinates from 20 ° 54 'to 22 ° 33' north latitude and from 102 ° 10 'to 103 ° 36' East longitude, Dien Bien is a province sharing the border with the two countries Laos and China is more than 400 km long The topography of Dien Bien Province is lower from the North to the South and gradually slopes from the West to the East It is a complex type of terrain, mainly steep, rugged and strongly divided hills, many landslides and floods of rocky mud Typically, it is the cause of phenomena such as floods, earthquakes and frequent landslides and flash floods especially in the rainy season Located in the watershed of the three major rivers of Vietnam, the Da River, the Ma River and the Mekong River Water resources from the river system are plentiful, but due to the geological structure plus high and sloping terrain, it is difficult to hold water in the dry season and prone to floods in the rainy season Dien Bien has a tropical monsoon high mountain climate, harsh climate, affected by climate change Dien Bien has a natural area of 10 2.3.1 Party guidelines on the implementation of social security policies The 6th Congress of the Party (1986), only mentioned social justice, the 7th Congress (in 1991) mentioned social progress, the 8th Congress (1996) defined more clearly: Increase Economic ideas must be associated with social progress and justice right in every step, in every policy and throughout the development process However, the term "social security" has not yet officially appeared in the text of the 8th Congress At the 9th Congress (2001), the word "social security" was officially used in the document, with the policy of "Expeditiously expanding the social insurance system and social security Early develop and implement unemployment insurance policy ” Thus, the document of the IX Congress for the first time marked an important milestone of the Party's views and guidelines on social security Inheriting and developing the content of the 9th Party Congress (2001), at the Tenth Party Congress (2006) affirmed: "Social security needs to be diversified and associated with insurance policies"; At the same time, giving the strategic guiding thought is: Well implementing social policies on the basis of economic development, associating interests with obligations, dedication to enjoyment, creating strong motivation stronger for socio-economic development The Resolution of the Xth Congress of the Party advocates: "Building a diverse social security system, strongly developing the social insurance and health insurance system, towards universal health insurance ;

Article 59 sets out the responsibility "The State creates equality of opportunity for citizens to enjoy social welfare, develop the social security system" Thus, the Party's viewpoint on ensuring social security for all people towards ensuring people's right to social security has been institutionalized by legal policies Firstly, towards sustainable work Secondly, increasing social assistance for people in special circumstances Thirdly, developing and implementing well the policies of social insurance, unemployment insurance, occupational accident insurance and occupational diseases Fourthly, towards comprehensive and sustainable poverty reduction Fifth, access basic social services for the poor The Party's views and guidelines on social security are the theoretical basis suitable to the practical conditions in our country, in order to improve the material and spiritual life of the people, creating a solid premise for the renewal process , creating socio-political stability and raising Vietnam's position in the international arena 2.3.2 Dien Bien Provincial Party Committee applies the policy of the Party to implement social security policies in the locality The Provincial Party Committee, People's Council and People's Committee of Dien Bien Province have issued many guidelines, policies and specific measures to well implement social security policies in the area Firstly, identifying social security is a long-term strategic task with great significance in terms of politics, society, national defense and security, demonstrating the nation's good morality In particular, the task of poverty reduction is an important task that requires the efforts of the entire political system On July 10, 2006, the Provincial Party Executive Committee issued Resolution 02NQ / TU on the poverty reduction program period 2006-2010;

underemployed laborers are still abundant; Social evils, such as trafficking, drug addiction, prostitution, gambling are increasing, etc Accordingly, the subjects who need help from social security policies are constantly increasing and have complicated tendencies In this context, all levels and sectors in the province have closely followed the policies of the Party, the State and the provincial Party Committee, endeavored to seriously implement social security policies on all contents and come fully, promptly all beneficiaries enjoy However, the implementation of social security policies of Dien Bien province in the years 2004 - 2014 is still inadequate and limited to be overcome Chapter SOME COMMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED 4.1 Achievements, limitations and causes 21 4.1.1 Achievement * Create jobs and increase income for people * Vocational training is constantly being strengthened and developed * Minimize risks for people * Overcoming risks: giving people meaningful and practical * Irregular relief work: deployed timely, promptly and effectively * Health insurance: The percentage of the population participating in health insurance has increased every year * Ensuring minimum education: In 2000, to complete the objective of universal primary education - to fight against illiteracy; in 2008, to complete universalization of lower secondary education; in 2009, reaching the standard of universal education level The facilities are invested, the quality of teachers and the quality of education increase every year * Ensure minimum housing for households throughout the province * Ensure clean water: The percentage of rural population having access to clean and hygienic water increases over the years, 72% in 2012, an increase of 37% compared to 1995 (less than 35%) [224, p.9] * Some typical models of implementing social security policies: In the process of implementing social security policies, many good models and good practices have spread in the community Typical is: - A model for those who have ever been addicted to drugs and infected with HIV / AIDS: The "New Horizon" Club, founded in February 2011 in Muong Ang District, to help people after drug addiction Drugs come back to life, integrate into the community - An effective model for poverty reduction: On the "map" of rapid poverty reduction in Dien Bien, there are bright spots, including Sua Tinh commune (Tuan Giao) - Model of escaping from poverty from taking advantage of the local development of Shan Tuyet tea tree in Tua Chua district Poverty reduction policies and solutions are implemented in all three ways: i) Helping the poor increase their access to basic social services, especially in health, education, vocational training and housing , water; ii) Support for production development through policies on preferential credit, agricultural - forestry - fishery extension; iii) Development of essential infrastructure for communes, wards and towns Up to now, poverty reduction has achieved many remarkable achievements, recorded by all levels, sectors and people: In 2004, 61,654 households accounted for 53.01%, by the end of 2009, there were 48,987 households; By the end of 2010, there were 51,644 households, accounting for 50.01%; by the end of 2013, there were 38,987 households, accounting for 35.06% The material and spiritual life of people of all ethnic groups in the province has been improved significantly [225, p.5 - 9] 4.1.2 Major limitations * Employment: Job creation is limited, policies with low coverage and support levels have not kept pace with the development of the market economy * Hunger eradication and poverty alleviation: Policies on poverty reduction are overlapping, some policies have not enough resources to implement, especially policies for ethnic minorities The policies are still heavy on subsidies, creating a sense of expectation on the support of the State, and have not encouraged the poor to rise on their own The coordination between ministries and agencies is not good, there are overlaps in content and subjects Resources for poverty reduction are fragmented, effectiveness for beneficiaries is not high; resources allocated for a number of policies for ethnic minorities are still slow; The management and supervision mechanism for the allocation and use of capital is still loose and duplicated, resulting in low efficiency of resources utilization for poverty reduction The poverty line is slowly adjusted and getting lower than the minimum living 22 standard Besides, the results of poverty reduction are not stable, the rate of households falling back into poverty remains high (on average, households out of poverty have household falling back into poverty) In particular, the implementation of a number of programs and policies clearly shows the limitations and impacts on social security, which are: - Poverty reduction programs and policies for ethnic minorities are still inadequate in terms of resources and implementation mechanism - Policy of sedentary farming in some localities is still inadequate The planning is not close to reality, the project planning is not guaranteed, the project site is located in the area at risk of pipe and flash floods, so the planning must be changed again, so the time for evaluation and approval of the project sentence extended; - Policies to support production land, residential land and daily-life water for poor ethnic minority households and difficult life under the Decision No 755 / QD-TTg are difficult to implement, so by the end of 2015, the policy is invalid but the target has not been completed, the beneficiaries of policies are still large (only 8.1% is allocated, and VND 10,802.38 million is missing); local land fund is limited, land reclaimed is no longer available but has to invest a lot of budget, or has land but the price is very high as the prescribed support cannot be implemented - Policy of direct support for people in poor households in difficult areas according to Decision No 102/2009 / QD-TTg, with support norms too low compared to the increase in prices of essential commodities and animals Investment in production - Lending policy for production development for ethnic minority households in especially difficult period 2012 - 2015 according to Decision 54/2012 / QD-TTg, with a low loan limit (8 million VND / household), not yet meet the investment needs for production of Ethnic minority households While there are still about 237,555 households needing to borrow capital for production with the amount of VND 1,900,440 billion but cannot meet * Social insurance: Information, propaganda and implementation of social insurance law are not deep and wide Most people are not fully aware of the meaning, role, benefits and humanity of social insurance policies, so they have not actively participated In addition, sanctions against violations are not strong enough, criminal sanctions have not been imposed for acts of evasion or appropriation of social insurance premiums Programs to support unemployed people to reintegrate into the labor market with low effectiveness * Incentives for people with meritorious services to the revolution: The review of the implementation of the policy of people with meritorious services to the revolution in Dien Bien province is still manifest Facilities of care and nursing facilities for people with meritorious services have not yet met the requirements and aspirations of the subjects The system of policy documents is still overlapping * Social support for people in difficult circumstances: Some policies both central and Dien Bien province are not suitable with reality: The regular social assistance policy has not covered all vulnerable groups, dispersed, duplicated, overlapped, and has not yet been systemized according to each type of policy and each type of beneficiary Meanwhile, the level of social assistance is low The emergency assistance policy is regulated in a limited scope, only has risks of natural disasters but has no social and budget risks, and only offset about 40% of damages and mobilization from socialization The province's is very difficult In general, the support level is too low, failing to meet the needs of the people - Ensuring the minimum education: The quality of education universalization is uneven, ensuring the minimum education for ethnic minority children, poor households and extremely difficult areas still faces many challenges 23 - Health insurance: Awareness on participating in health insurance is still low Health insurance coverage is not yet considered as an indicator of socio-economic development in the province and localities in the province - Housing support for people: The effectiveness is limited, the level of housing support for poor households is low and has not been adjusted in time with the fluctuation of prices; Local budget capital and mobilized capital from the community are very limited so it also affects the implementation progress - Ensuring clean water: The level of access to clean water of people between regions in the province is still large;
