PLAN

LABOR, INVALIDS AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT FOR SCALING UP THE
INTERGENERATIONAL SELF-HELP CLUB MODEL FOR THE PERIOD OF 2024–2025
(Issued together with Decision No. 1335/QD-LDTBXH dated August 29, 2024, of
the Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs)
Population aging is a global issue that has become
a significant challenge, profoundly impacting economic and social stability and
development in many countries worldwide. Vietnam is recognized as one of the
countries with the fastest population aging rate globally. Projections
indicate that by 2050, the proportion of people aged 60 and older will exceed
25%; notably, 2036 will mark the transition from an “ageing society” to an
“aged society.” In response, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social
Affairs, as the lead agency, has collaborated with relevant bodies to study,
identify challenges, and learn from countries with more advanced experiences in
developing comprehensive policies and solutions to address the risks associated
with population aging.
On August 31, 2020, the Prime Minister issued
Decision No. 1336/QD-TTg on approval for the Project for Scaling Up the
Intergenerational Self-Help Club Model by 2025. This Project aims to: Enhance
the effectiveness of the ISHC model to sustain and further scale up the clubs,
mobilizing the participation of older persons, the Vietnam Association of the
Elderly, various sectors, and communities to enhance the physical and mental
well-being of older persons; provide healthcare, eradicate hunger and reduce
poverty, contribute to building new rural areas, civilized urban areas, while
protecting the rights of older persons. This contributes to the Government's
Action Program under Resolution No. 137/NQ-CP dated December 31, 2017 on
implementation of Resolution No. 21-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017 of the sixth
meeting of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam on
population work in the new context and the National Action Program on Older
Persons.
