According to the review data, the whole province has 6,483 poor households, accounting for 2.44%; near-poor households have 15,793 households, accounting for 5.95%.

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) Project 4 (under the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the period 2021-2025) has provided opportunities for many workers to secure employment and for poor households to escape poverty. Ms Le Xuan Thu, a resident of Xuan Tho 2 commune, Song Cau Town, shared: I previously worked as a worker at a company, but due to the low salary, I decided to leave and assist my family with farming. Later, I attended job connection and placement sessions organized by the Phu Yen Employment Service Center, which helped me find a suitable job at a company in the Northeast Sông Cầu Industrial Park.

According to Mr Le Ngoc Son, in implementing sustainable poverty reduction, in recent years, Party committees and local authorities have done a good job of propagating and disseminating the guidelines and policies of the Party and the State on sustainable poverty reduction, helping people and poor households and ethnic minorities understand the purpose and meaning of these guidelines and policies and striving for production labor to gradually increase income and rise out of poverty.  The Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, together with authorities at all levels, have focused on propagating and participating in monitoring and evaluating the results of sustainable poverty reduction at the grassroots level, detecting shortcomings and limitations, and proposing competent agencies and levels to promptly solve for the people; mobilizing resources from the community, organizations, and individuals to support participation in sustainable poverty reduction with the motto "No one is left behind".

 “In 2025, the province will focus on synchronously implementing solutions, focusing on supporting focused and sustainable production development. In particular, priority is given to supporting poor ethnic minority households, poor households whose members are people with meritorious services to the revolution, and children and women of poor households," said Le Ngoc Son.
