This paper analyses income inequality in Vietnam in the 2000s by comparing several notable measurements of inequality, namely the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve, the Atkinson and the Theil indices. Applied to the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey data, the Gini coefficient outperforms the others as it computes unique and unambiguous results and thus, it forms the methodological foundation for analysis of inequality in the current research. The study shows a moderate level of, and stability in, inequality spanning 2002-10. Equitable economic growth with respect to geographical dimensions, migration from rural to urban areas and migrants' remittance are the main reasons behind the results.
