Democracy and Social Justice in Ho Chi Minh's Thought for Economic Development in Vietnam

Abstract

Ho Chi Minh's ideology on social justice emphasizes eliminating injustice and inequality in society, considering it an important factor to improve labor productivity and economic development. He saw social justice as not only the fair distribution of resources but also including access to education, healthcare, and other basic services. Ho Chi Minh believes that when people are treated fairly and have opportunities to develop, they will increase labor productivity and positively contribute to the country's economic development. At the same time, Ho Chi Minh considered democracy an essential element in promoting social justice. Democracy not only ensures power belongs to the people but also facilitates widespread participation and transparency in social management. These principles are not only the foundation for social justice but also an important driving force to promote economic growth and improve people's quality of life.
