Male workers in Vietnam earned significantly more than their female counterparts in the first quarter of 2025, despite a rise in overall average income, according to the General Statistics Office’s report on Thursday.

According to the report, men earned an average of VND9.3 million (US$361) per month between January and March, while women earned VND7.1 million ($276) — a gap of VND2.2 million ($85).

Among salaried employees, men earned VND9.8 million ($381) compared to VND8.9 million ($346) for women, marking a VND900,000 ($35) difference.

The data highlights a persistent gender income gap, even as the labor market saw positive trends.

The national average monthly income rose to VND8.3 million ($323), up VND131,000 ($5) from the previous quarter and VND720,000 ($28) year-on-year.

Salaried workers saw an annual increase of 10.7 percent, with average income reaching VND9.4 million ($365).

Urban workers earned significantly more than those in rural areas, averaging VND10.1 million ($393) per month compared to VND7.2 million ($280).

The labor force, defined as individuals aged 15 and above, was estimated at 52.9 million in the first quarter, down by 230,700 people from the previous quarter, reflecting typical seasonal patterns following the Lunar New Year.

The unemployment rate among working-age people declined both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year.

Youth unemployment remained a concern, with approximately 1.35 million people aged 15–24 neither working nor studying in the first quarter, accounting for 10.4 percent of the age group — an increase of 84,400 from the previous quarter.

The rate was higher in rural areas at 11.7 percent compared to urban areas at 8.2 percent, and more prevalent among female youth at 11.5 percent than male counterparts at 9.3 percent.

By sector, 40.7 percent of Vietnam’s workforce was employed in services, 33.3 percent in industry and construction, and 26 percent in agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
