Hanoi Aims for 70% Social Insurance Coverage by 2030

Hanoi City has set an ambitious goal to enroll 70% of its working-age population into the social insurance system by 2030. This target includes a breakdown of 60% mandatory social insurance participation and 10% voluntary participation. To achieve this objective, the Hanoi Social Insurance Agency has announced plans to launch a "Determination to Successfully Implement Sustainable Double-Digit Growth Targets" emulation movement for the period 2026-2030. This movement aims to conscientiously implement directives from the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam Social Security, and the City People's Committee, and to awaken the sense of responsibility, innovation, and determination of social insurance agency officials and employees to successfully complete assigned political tasks. The plan outlines targets for 2028, aiming for 61% of the working-age population to participate in social insurance (54% mandatory, 7% voluntary), approximately 47.9% in unemployment insurance, and 97.3% in health insurance. By 2030, the goal is to reach and exceed the targets set by Vietnam Social Security and the City People's Council, with social insurance coverage at 70% (60% mandatory, 10% voluntary), unemployment insurance at 50%, and health insurance at 100%. In addition to increasing participants, the movement focuses on strengthening the collection of social insurance contributions and reducing the rate of overdue payments. The city's Social Insurance Agency will enhance efforts to urge and recover delayed payments, ensuring employers strictly adhere to legal regulations. It will also intensify inspections and coordinate with law enforcement agencies, labor unions, tax authorities, and other relevant bodies to address violations and protect workers' rights. Administrative reform, digital transformation, and the application of information technology will remain key priorities. The Hanoi Social Insurance Agency will streamline administrative procedures, expand online public services, integrate with the national population database, promote the VssID digital social insurance app, facilitate online premium payments, and ensure non-cash disbursement of social insurance benefits. Specifically, concrete goals are set for the application of artificial intelligence (AI), data analysis, and automation. By 2028, the agency aims to implement at least two AI applications to support management and operational tasks. By 2030, it seeks to leverage AI and Big Data for trend analysis, forecasting, anomaly detection, risk prevention, and combating insurance fund fraud, utilizing data through national and sectoral integration platforms. Furthermore, the plan emphasizes improving the quality of services for citizens and businesses through administrative procedure reform and process optimization. By 2028, the agency aims for a citizen and organizational satisfaction rate exceeding 90% and a non-cash payment rate for social and unemployment insurance benefits of at least 99.63%. By 2030, satisfaction rates are targeted at 95% or higher, with non-cash benefit payments approaching 100%. Source: Nhan Dan
