Vietnam is a country that has grown enormously for the past 10 years. It has one of the lowest rates of unemployment and it is the largest producer of cashew nuts in the world. But Vietnam has serious problems. It is still a very poor country. It has undeveloped areas where people live in deep poverty (population living under $1 per day). This situation has created an important issue with children because most of them have to work to support their families. The lack of consciousness about the rights of children doesn’t help. Parents receive money from their children's income, when those children must be at school preparing for their life. There are a lot of Vietnamese children without legal papers. This means that they can’t get medical help and they are not able to work for government companies. The lack of birth certificates has create bigger problems such as illegal adoptions of Vietnamese babies and growing numbers of children that suffer sex abuse and are infected with HIV/AIDS. 
The situation with Vietnamese children is very sad. Most of them are abused by their employers because of the legal situation. The income they receive is sent to their families. The government should be more aware and effective with plans that help Vietnamese children. A good way to start would be the parent’s education about the right of children. These children shouldn’t be the ones that bring economic support to their families. If the problem is poverty, the government should be able to provide stable economic support to the parent in order to stop the exploitation of these children.
