The Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS) is a large and rich dataset on the economic and social aspects of households in Vietnam. This dataset can be used to study many important issues related to living standards, poverty, education, health, employment, income, expenditure, and factors influencing them. Here are some research ideas that can be explored using the VHLSS dataset:
- Study the impact of climate change on the income and expenditure of households in different regions of Vietnam.

- Explore the relationship between education and employment of household members, as well as the factors influencing the decision to pursue education and participate in the labor market.
- Study the level of income and expenditure inequality between regions, urban and rural areas, and ethnic minority groups in Vietnam, as well as the causes and consequences of this inequality.
- Investigate the impact of social policies such as social welfare, health insurance, tax reduction, and tuition fee exemption on the living standards and income distribution of households in Vietnam.
