The use of the term social protection usually refers to the group of social policies that provide cash transfer to protect households from poverty. The goal of this study is to measure the possible impact of these new policies. Because the new regulations have been recently passed and few administrative data on the programs are available, the study cannot report on the effective impact of the new policy. The approach instead uses the 2006 VHLSS (Vietnamese Household Living Standard Survey) to estimate how efficient the new policy could be if it had enough resource to be fully implemented without any restriction. The first section measures how many of the poor could be eligible to social allowances if the decision 67 could be fully implemented. The second section describes the characteristics of the poor that would probably not benefit from this new policy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCALORIES PER DAYCASH TRANSFERSCHILD LABORCHRONICALLY POORCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACOPING STRATEGYCULTURE OF DEPENDENCYDRINKING WATERECONOMIC GROWTHELIGIBILITYEPIDEMICSEXTREME POVERTYEXTREMELY POOR HOUSEHOLDSFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY POVERTYFAMILY POVERTY BENEFITFERTILITYFOOD ITEMSFOOD POVERTYFOOD POVERTY LINEGDPHEALTH EXPENDITUREHEALTH INSURANCEHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD PER CAPITA INCOMEHOUSINGHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCEILLNESSIMPACT ON POVERTYINCOMEINCOME SHOCKSINDICATOR OF POVERTYLACK OF INFORMATIONLIVESTOCK LOSSESLOW INCOMEMEANS TESTINGNATURAL DISASTERPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIESPOORPOOR CHILDRENPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONSPOOR POPULATIONPOOR POPULATIONSPOOR REGIONSPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY CRITERIAPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY STATUSPOVERTY THRESHOLDRURALRURAL AREASSAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NETSSELF-EMPLOYMENTSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSUBSISTENCETARGETINGTRANSFER AMOUNTSUNEMPLOYMENTWARWORKING POORReportWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/28074
