Summary of the results of the thesis: With the topic: "Current status of the Vietnamese working class structure - current status and solutions", in the process of researching the thesis, the following results were achieved: The thesis has clarified a number of theoretical issues on social structure, social-class structure and working class structure; the concept of the working class and the Vietnamese working class. In which, the concept of working class structure has been built by the author on the basis of the concept of social-class structure. The thesis has pointed out and analyzed the factors affecting the transformation of the current Vietnamese working class structure. Specifically: the factor that plays an important and decisive role in the transformation of the Vietnamese working class structure is the industrialization and modernization of the country according to the market mechanism; the leadership of the Party and the management role of the State play a direct decisive role; Globalization and the knowledge economy are factors that contribute to promoting and creating conditions for the Vietnamese working class to increase rapidly in number, diversify its occupational structure and improve its professional qualifications. The current status of the Vietnamese working class structure is analyzed in this thesis through four basic structural types. Firstly, in terms of economic structure: the proportion of workers in state-owned enterprises has been, is and will tend to decrease sharply; meanwhile, workers in non-state enterprises and enterprises with foreign investment capital are increasing rapidly. Secondly, the occupational structure of the working class is becoming rich and diverse with the emergence of many new economic sectors. However, workers working in the agricultural and service sectors still account for a low proportion compared to the development needs of the country. Third, the structure of education level, skill level, and professional expertise of workers has been significantly improved, a group of highly qualified workers has appeared, working in new industries: finance, banking, information technology, etc. Fourth, the issue of labor and employment of workers has been ensured. However, there is still a group of workers who have to work with high working hours and intensity, the rate of overtime and extra shifts is quite high; income within the working class is also showing differentiation and is becoming more and more obvious. These changes in the structure of the working class have two sides. On the one hand, it creates favorable conditions for the working class to fulfill its historical mission; on the other hand, it also points out the shortcomings in the structure of the working class leading to differentiation, disunity and reducing the strength of this class. Starting from pointing out the new requirements of the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country, the thesis has built four basic groups of solutions to perfect the structure of the Vietnamese working class in the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country: a group of solutions to rapidly and harmoniously develop the structure of the working class in industries and economic sectors; a group of solutions to improve the level of education, professional qualifications, vocational skills, and gradually intellectualize the working class; a group of solutions to ensure employment, shorten the gap in wages and income of the working class and a group of solutions on the leadership role of the Party, the management of the State and the role of socio-political organizations. 12. Further research directions: Within the scope of the research, the thesis has not yet analyzed in depth the trend of changes in the structure of the Vietnamese working class in the coming years. Therefore, if possible, the author of the thesis will continue to research more deeply on the working class structure, forecast and analyze in detail the trend of changes in the working class structure, thereby building solutions to perfect the working class structure to meet the new requirements of the country's industrialization and modernization.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: With the subject “The Structure of Vietnamese working class – current status and solutions”, while studying the thesis had achieved results as below: The thesis has clearly analyzed some theoretical issues of social structure, social - class structure and the working class structure, definition of the working class and the Vietnamese working class. In which, the concept of the working class structure has been constructed by the author based on the concept of social-class structure. The thesis has pointed out and analyzed factors that have been affecting the structure change of the Vietnamese working class nowadays. The most important factor that will determine the structure change of the Vietnamese working class is a path of industrialization and modernization of the country according to the market mechanism; the leadership of the Party and management of the State are direct decision factors; globalization and knowledge economy are factors that contribute to promoting and facilitating the Vietnamese working class Vietnam in increased rapidly in number, rich in industrial structure and improve their profession. The current status of the Vietnamese working class has been analyzed into four basic structure types. First, the structure of the economic sectors: quantity of workers in state enterprises has been decreasing, while quantity of workers in non-state enterprises and enterprises with foreign capital investment has been increasing rapidly. Second, the structure of trade of the working class has become more diversified with the development of new industries. However, quantity of workers in agriculture and services is lower than development requirement of the country. Third, the structure of knowledge level, professional skills of workers have been improved clearly which results in there is some high quality groups working in the banking, information technology… Four, employment of workers is guaranteed. But some workers still work hard, the ratio of working part time and overtime shifts are still quite much, different in income of the working class is more and more clear. These changes in the structure of the working class are two-faced. They create convenient conditions for the working class to complete their historic mission. But they also point out some inadequate things of the structure of working class which cause splitting, disunity and reducing the power of this class. From the new requirements of the period of promotion industrialization and modernization of the country, the thesis has distributed four basic solution groups in order to improve the structure of the Vietnamese working class: the solution group for fast development and harmonic the structure of the working class in the economic sectors; the solution group to improve the education and qualifications expertise, professional skills, step by step intellectual workers; the solutions group for ensuring jobs, shortening the gap in wages and incomes of the working class; the solution group for role of leadership of the Party, management of the State and role of the social and political organizations. Further research directions In the limitation of study and analysis, the thesis has not predicted and analyzed in particular the tendency of structural changes of the Vietnamese working class in coming years. But, the author will continue to study about the working class further to forecast and analyze in detail of changing tendency of the structure of working class then basing on that the author will figure out solutions to improve the structure of the working class in order to meet new requirements of the industrialization and modernization of the country.
