Social insurance is a guarantee that replaces or partially compensates for the income of workers when they experience a reduction or loss of income due to illness, maternity, work accidents, occupational diseases, unemployment, retirement, or death, based on contributions to the social insurance fund. In Vietnam, over 31 years of development, the legal system and policies on social insurance have been gradually perfected, becoming more synchronized and more in line with the country's reality and international practices. Social insurance policies, which were initially only applicable to state officials and civil servants, have expanded to include all workers and are now universal, encompassing both mandatory and voluntary insurance for both the formal and informal sectors.
