Retirees in Vietnam say their monthly pensions are far below living costs and they are having to continue working to make ends meet.

 

Nguyen Thi Lan and her husband Tran Minh Chau are both 65. They live in Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Phu District.

 

In 2012, Lan retired after 26 years of paying social insurance. The next year, Chau retired after 20 years of paying social insurance.
