Thai Nguyen province is located in the center of the Northern Midland and Mountainous region, bordering Hanoi capital and in the planning of the Capital Region.

However, it is a fact that the gap in living standards among population groups is widening, especially for ethnic minorities living in the northern part of the province, the standard of living is not high. The article applied the research method of problem analysis, synthesis and comparison based on the statistical database of Vietnam and Thai Nguyen province to study the current situation of living standards in Thai Nguyen province in the period of 2010-2020 from the perspective of socio-economic geography; analyze the successes and limitations of raising people's living standards in Thai Nguyen province.
