Research report on rural labour and employment in Viet Nam

Conclusions and recommendations offered by the report are expected to be important policy implications for the formulation of the National Employment Strategy 2011-2020. The research will contribute to identifying and assessing various policy implications in order to deal with challenges regarding (i) employment creation in rural areas and (ii) industrialization and restructuring in Vietnam.

The Research Report on Rural Employment in Vietnam is a part of the Labour Market project produced by Office for Social Evaluation and Consultancy (OSEC), Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA). The study on rural employment includes two phases:
Phase 1: Analysis of relevant literature, policies and institutions to create a report largely based on data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and other secondary sources.
Phase 2: Survey activities based on the recommendations of the Phase 1 report to supplement other sources. The results of Phase II will also be analysed for inclusion in the Phase 1 report and to offer policy implications for the National Employment Strategy 2011-2020.
