Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.

The National Action Plan to Support People with Disabilities is the main policy document for persons with disabilities in Viet Nam. It aims to "provide opportunities for people with disabilities to participate fully and equally in social activities, to improve quality of life for people with disabilities and to build a barrier-free society and for the rights of people with disabilities." Key activities of the plan include: a national survey on disability, development of a national disability database and standardized criteria for classification of disability, revision or replacement of existing disability laws, establishment of self-help groups, and access to social security and poverty reduction programs.
