Happiness is not only higher income, but also a sense of security, fairness, development opportunities, a healthy living environment and belief in the future.
The Party's viewpoint of "leaving no one behind" is concretized by social security policies, sustainable poverty reduction, and expanded access to education, healthcare, and housing.
In the context of digital transformation and green economy, the issue of employment, labor retraining, and skills improvement is also put first. Therefore, investing in people from education, healthcare to digital skills is investing in the long-term happiness of the nation.
The Party and State's guidelines and policies always pay special attention to narrowing the gap between rich and poor, ensuring fair access to basic services such as education, healthcare, and housing. Issues such as high house prices, difficulties in accessing credit, or pressure on living costs... are all seen not only as economic issues, but also as factors directly affecting people's happiness.
The Party has clearly identified the requirement for sustainable development, linking economic growth with environmental protection. Strategies on energy transition, emission reduction, green economic development... are not only aimed at meeting international commitments, but also directly improving the quality of life.
In addition, the cultural factor is also placed at the center. Building a comprehensively developed Vietnamese person, preserving cultural identity, spreading good values... is the spiritual foundation of a happy society.
Happiness comes not only from material conditions, but also from people's trust in the political system. An effective, transparent, and close-to-people government will create peace of mind and trust. This is an important factor in social happiness.
In the context of reforming the apparatus, building a two-level, streamlined, effective, and efficient government, it all emphasizes the requirement to serve the people better. From simplifying administrative procedures, improving the quality of public services, to strengthening discipline and order in the contingent of officials, all are aimed at a common goal: Making people "feel" service.
Especially, in the context of the country entering a new stage of development, with the goal of becoming a developed, high-income country by 2045, placing "happiness" as a measure will create balance in development: Economic growth does not go hand in hand with social progress.
Building a happy society is a long process, requiring persistence, synchronization and creativity in implementation, towards sustainable and long-term values. In that journey, the role of each individual and each community is also very important. Because a happy society needs to be built from the awareness, responsibility and sharing of each citizen.
