Why is it that I see in the south a vast amount more of beggars and working children than in the north? Is the south poorer than the north? Is it something cultural?
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to confront northerners v southerners...

Jim Cantrell Just my opinion but I think they are more lenient in the south on this sort of thing than in the North.... whatever the case you are right Tom there are plenty of them in Saigon

Mathieu Cole Byers It’s also warmer there so maybe it attracts more of it. Plus many people said by to move to Hanoi for various reasons so that in some way could play a role. Also you know big bustling cities always have a larger challenge to feed and shelter everyone. HCMC seems to be getting gentrified very quickly which is also driving people from their homes more quickly than Hanoi... could be wrong, I am only a guest living in this country.

Tom Storup I don't understand the "northerners come south to beg" or the "more money, more beggars" comments...

Anyone else disagrees with such simplistic comments?

Jim Cantrell The rich become richer the poor become poorer its the end result of this eutopian dream called capitalism that I have been a part of all my life.

Nguyễn Tấn Linh You will see countless of free dring water tanks on the street of saigon, but when 1 person in hanoi put a tank on the street, the police will come immediately, the people living near that house will be the one who call the police because they sell drinking water and that gesture would affect earning money!

Joey Arnold More money, more begging because people believe in equality, that rich people have too much money and must share it with others: and people tend to give more money to beggars in Saigon which encourages beggars to beg more because begging is easier than other kinds of like work and stuff. People want things to be fair, not imbalanced, unequal. People don't want some to have a lot of money while others are maybe too poor. Beggars try to get others to feel sorry for them.
