Current Situation Concerning the Accessibility to Social Welfare of Workers in Binh Duong’s Industrial Parks

The paper focuses on the analysis of data from survey on the responsibility of the government and corporate in covering social welfare of the workers currently working in industrial parks in Bình Dương Province. It also acknowledges the interaction between state and and enterprises in this process and considers social welfare as a fundamental right of each citizen. The changes in social welfare services after the Renovation period (particularly in education and medication) reflect the process of service “commoditization” in a more frequent and stronger manner. Social welfare has become services, which citizens have to pay for, even with high price. A perfect social welfare system has to prove the responsibility of each individual in maintaining the quality of community’s life. Nonetheless, the “commoditization” process has been turning social welfare into burdens on the shoulder of workers with low income.
