| Abstract: |
Child malnutrition remains a major public health challenge in many developing countries, including Vietnam, where substantial socioeconomic disparities persist across provinces. This study examines provincial trends and socioeconomic inequalities in child malnutrition in Vietnam during 2020–2024. Panel data from 63 provinces were compiled from official sources, including the Ministry of Health of Vietnam, the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, and provincial socioeconomic reports. Three indicators of malnutrition among children under five years of age were analyzed: stunting, underweight, and wasting. Descriptive statistics, the Gini coefficient, Theil index, and Concentration Index were employed to assess interprovincial disparities and socioeconomic inequality. The findings reveal substantial provincial variation in child malnutrition, with major urban areas showing lower prevalence and faster improvement than mountainous and disadvantaged provinces. Both Gini and Theil index increased over the study period, indicating widening interprovincial inequality. Negative and statistically significant concentration indices suggest that malnutrition remains disproportionately concentrated in poorer provinces. These findings highlight the need for geographically targeted nutrition policies and stronger investments in health and social protection systems in disadvantaged regions. |
