Abstract:<\/strong>
\nViet Nam has dramatically been experiencing several social
\ntransformations in her modern history since the last century up today.
\nThose social changes have clearly reflected in the configurations of the
\ndifferent main social structures of the society, including the social
\nstratification. In 2015, a survey on social changes was conducted in the
\nSouth Economic Zone of Viet Nam. It consists of 2,880 households living
\nin 80 wards or communes. The presentation outlines the social
\nstratification structures by occupational groups based on the data set
\nanalysis of the survey. Three properties attached to the social groups,
\nnamely the knowledge, economy and power resources, are measured by three
\nvariables: years of schooling, household\u2019s assets, and being a member
\nof the ruling Party. The analysis highlights that the distributions of
\nthose resources are consistently structured by the configuration of
\nsocial stratification. The findings of the quantitative analysis are
\nlinked to the broader historical and structural changes in the country.<\/p>\n
