This study explores the factors influencing the poverty of indigenous ethnic minority households in Dak Nong province. The study used the Binary Logistic regression model with a sample of 178 indigenous ethnic minority households, including poor households, and non-poor households. The results showed that the poverty rate of indigenous ethnic minority households is still high, accounting for 22.8% compared to the general poverty rate of Dak Nong province of 6.98%. In addition, we found that the factors affecting poverty of indigenous ethnic minority households included family size, education level, total farmland area, access to loans, participation in social organizations, diversification of livelihoods, communication means and natural disaster. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of family planning programs, improve education levels, career transition support policy, build and upgrade information and communication systems, and improve capacity to respond to disaster risks for indigenous ethnic minority households.
