Our paper analyzes the social practice of accessibility of higher education in Vietnamese and Russian societies on a basis of a quantitative criterion of comparative analysis: the dynamics of the number of universities; change in the number of students; participation of young people in higher education; the achieved level of education of youth; the index of social equity in education and the gender parity index. Moreover, we carry out a comparative analysis of the level of accessibility of higher education for various social groups in Vietnamese and Russian societies.
Our results show that the number of students in Russia is decreasing, the share of people with higher education remains higher than in Vietnam. However, we also find that the level of social inequality in higher education in Vietnam was more pronounced than in Russia and the inequality in access to this area on the basis of gender in Russia was bigger.
