The reason why 5 veteran artists at the Nursing Center do not have pensions
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, People's Artist Trinh Kim Chi - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association - said that artists living at Thi Nghe Nursing Center do not have pensions. The main reason is the specific profession of the previous generation of artists.
Most stage artists of the previous generation operated freely, not working permanently in an agency, unit or organization with stable salary and social insurance regimes. Later, they also did not participate in voluntary social insurance regimes.
These are the reasons why they cannot meet the conditions for enjoying retirement benefits.
Although there is no pension, Ho Chi Minh City is supporting each artist at Thi Nghe Nursing Center with 2.65 million VND/person/month. In addition to financial support, artists are also provided with lifelong free care by the center.
