Objective: This paper analyzes and evaluates the role of human resources in sustainable socio-economic development in Vietnam while also identifying the limitations in maximizing this role. Based on the findings, the study proposes solutions to improve the quality of human resources to meet the demands of sustainable development. Methodology: The research employs analytical and synthetic methods based on documents, statistical reports, and empirical studies. In addition, social philosophy approaches are applied to assess the impact of human resources on socio-economic development. Results: The research results indicate that human resources have a direct impact on GDP growth, labor productivity, national competitiveness, and the sustainable development of society. However, the quality of human resources in Vietnam still faces several limitations, such as low professional qualifications, inadequate labor skills to meet market demands, and shortcomings in the training structure as well as in improving workers’ quality of life. Conclusion: To enhance the role of human resources in socioeconomic development, Vietnam needs to focus on key solutions such as education reform, strengthening vocational training, improving labor quality, and developing policies to attract talent. Investing in human resources not only contributes to economic growth but also ensures long-term sustainable development.
