A surge in social security enrollment and revenue in a Vietnamese province demonstrates the power of coordinated policy implementation and strong corporate participation, particularly within the crucial coal industry.The province is poised to exceed its 2025 goals, ensuring a robust safety net for its workforce and citizens.
The success is rooted in a collaborative approach, with companies like Nam Mau Coal Company – TKV leading the charge. Reflecting the miners’ long-held values of “discipline and unity,” the company has proactively adapted its production planning to prioritize employee well-being and social security contributions. “The company is always aware that social security is an important pillar of social security for employees,” stated a senior company official. “In 2025, the coordination with the regional social security authority was very effective and the benefits were processed fully and quickly.” Nam Mau Coal Company contributes approximately VND 13 billion monthly to compulsory social insurance, underscoring its commitment.
Expanding Coverage and Revenue
Driven by provincial authorities and the Vietnamese Social Security agency, a comprehensive plan to expand coverage in social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance has yielded notable results. By the end of 2025,332,600 people – 52.05% of the province’s labour force – will be covered by social insurance, a rise of over 27,000 individuals compared to 2024.Health insurance coverage is projected to reach over 1.3 million residents,representing 95.76% of the population, an increase of 13,000.
The province’s total revenue from these insurance programs is expected to reach VND 9,916 billion, exceeding the Vietnamese Social Security’s target by 104% and representing an increase of over VND 1,082 billion from the previous year.
