Among the total seven communes in Khanh Son district, Thanh Son is suffering some of the most deprived conditions. In the commune, there are 581 households in total, with the average income of 15 USD / month / person. Although the locals have been supported in repairing houses by the government, the stability of life in Khanh Son district is still not guaranteed. Every day the majority of inhabitants must cultivate land deep in the jungle, while the others grow short-term plants around the house or work as hired labour for other people. The total number of children in Khanh Son district is 1.420 ones aged from 0 to 16, including 654 children in the age group of nursery and elementary levels. Each child at this place is provided a fund of 6 USD / month for school fees. However, a majority of children just go to school for the 10 days at the end of each month to receive the money.
