■ The trend of economic recovery at the
beginning of the year has been able to
improve the level of community welfare.
Unemployment and poverty rates in
early 2021 decreased compared to their
last period at the end of 2020
The acceleration of the social protection
program since early 2021 is effective in
protecting the poor and vulnerable
community
■ Without the social protection expansion,
the World Bank projects that poverty in
2021 could reach 11.2%
Welfare levels are expected to continue
to improve until Semester I, before the
trend of rising COVID-19 cases in June.
The social protection policy is expanded
and strengthened during the Emergency
Public Activity Restriction (PPKM
Emergency) period
