The rapid urban development in Hanoi has exposed weaknesses in the city's sanitation infrastructure, straining the waste management system and increasing pressures on sanitation workers who already face hazardous conditions, financial insecurity, and societal discrimination. The study found that urban workers face more health hazards, while rural workers suffer greater job and financial insecurities. Both groups experience significant societal discrimination. Although basic worker rights like social insurance and safety workshops are provided, additional benefits are lacking. The study recommends addressing the urban-rural worker gap, improving benefits, and raising societal awareness of sanitation workers' importance.
