The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in 2020 has had a significant impact on the Vietnamese economy as a whole and has had direct effects on two industries: (1) the textile and apparel industry and (2) the hospitality industry. According to a study conducted by the Center for Analysis and Forecasting (under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences) in cooperation with CDRI, the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic until 2022 continue to have repercussions at the household level, particularly for female-headed households, in these two industry groups.
