This briefing paper reveals that although national indicators present a positive picture,
areas of gender disparity exist. The sole focus on disparity and levels of participation
of women reveals little about the effectiveness of women's participation and empowerment
either in the public or private domain. It is argued here that more can be achieved in
Viet Nam with respect to the effectiveness of women's participation and empowerment.
