abstract: 'We combine nationally representative household and labor force survey
|
|
|
|
data from 1992 to 2016 to provide a detailed description of rural labor
|
|
|
|
market evolution and how it relates to the structural transformation of
|
|
|
|
rural Vietnam, especially within the agricultural sector. Our study adds
|
|
|
|
to the emerging literature on structural transformation in low-income
|
|
|
|
countries using micro-level data and helps to answer several
|
|
|
|
policy-related questions. We find limited employment creation potential
|
|
|
|
of agriculture, especially for youth. Rural-urban real wage convergence
|
|
|
|
has gone hand-in-hand with increased diversification of the rural
|
|
|
|
economy into the non-farm sector nationwide and rapid advances in
|
|
|
|
educational attainment in all sectors'' and regions'' workforce. Minimum
|
|
|
|
wage laws seem to have played no significant role in increasing
|
|
|
|
agricultural wages. This enhanced integration also manifests in steady
|
|
|
|
attenuation of the longstanding inverse farm size-yield relationship.
|
|
|
|
Farming has remained securely household-based and the family farmland
|
|
|
|
distribution has remained largely unchanged. Small farm sizes have not
|
|
|
|
obstructed mechanization nor the uptake of labor-saving pesticides,
|
|
|
|
consistent with factor substitution induced by rising real wage rates.
|
|
|
|
As rural households rely more heavily on the labor market, human capital
|
|
|
|
accumulation (rather than land endowments) have become the key correlate
|
|
|
|
of improvements in rural household well-being.'
