The General Statistics Office, in collaboration with the Government Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs, will carry out a survey to collect information on socio-economic situations of 53 ethnic minority groups in 2015 beginning on August 1. The investigation, the first of its kind, aims to compile statistics on population, incomes, housing and other socio-economic indicators of ethnic minority groups to serve the compilation of the national statistical indicator system and the statistical indicator system on ethnic affairs in order to design socio-economic development policies for ethnic-inhabited areas. The results will also serve as a foundation to form a data system on ethnic minorities in Vietnam. Ethnic minority region targeted by the survey is defined as an area where the number of ethnic minorities accounts for at least 30 percent of the local population. The investigation scope includes 51 centrally-run cities and provinces. The results of the survey are expected to be announced in December.-VNA
