in 1986 and has spent about two and haft decades The country has transformed from an economy centrally planned economy to a dynamic market One of the fundamental reforms was the legalization of most forms of private economic activities (including households and businesses), and the removal of price controls on almost all products and services Most of the reforms affected the rural sector, where farmers were given a greater freedom in the choice of their production, and price distortions were slowly diminished Agriculture directly benefit to the majority of Vietnam's population whose livelihoods are closely dependent on small-scale agricultural self-sufficiency in rural areas (Benjamin and Brandt, 2004) Higher yields of rice and other crops after have allowed Vietnam to become the second largest rice exporter without expansion in rice area and reduction in domestic consumption while it had been a rice importer in the mid-eighties (Minot and Goletti, 2000) As farmers were given the choice of their agricultural production with new exporting possibilities, other kind of crops started to be grown, such as pepper or rubber Vietnam has become the second largest coffee producer in the world, and production and export of fruits and vegetables have risen dramatically over this period And part of the income growth is undoubtedly due to diversification into other -= activities such as aquaculture, livestock, and non-farm activities with substantial tructural changes towards more industry and services UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co a~ditional member m a

of 0.28 These results ~an be explained by increasing returns to scale in household chores for households with a larger size and more labor availability that makes it easier for them to let some !members engage in others activities Studies of Dercon and Krishnan ( 1996) in Ethiopa and of Tanzania and Micevska and Rahut (2008) in India find similar results Third, the presence of old members strongly reduces the likelihood of households to participate in migration (and to a lesser extent to engage in diversification): a higher 41 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co ependency ratio of the household reduces the labor availability for migration As for he decision to diversify agricultural production, more arable land per adult also ncreases the likelihood of farm diversification As a general rule, local non-farm ecision is driven by households' asset position rather than by human/social capital or ousehold composition esults of Liner regression on

it Age of household head is significant and show that when the header older, they had more experience in life and lead household to have more income resource (2) Education: Education lever of household member which have a statistically significant effect plays a key role in household diversification, the higher level of education they are, the more diversification trend This finding is similar to results of other studies conducted by Corral and Reardon (200 1), Yunez and Taylor (2001) and de Janvry and Sadoulet (2001) Form their empirical studies, they come to conclusions that that more educated households earn more overall income but not more farm income The overall impact of education on income is positive and large The decrease in the share of income from wage employment is explain by the higher level of education, people had trend to go to big city and find a better job or join in non-farm activities to get more income More education they attain, the more total income they earn Thus, better education enables them with more opportunities of highly paid jobs Datt and Jolliffe (2005) suggest that education variable is a strong determinant of household living standards, in both rural and urban areas They find some substitutability between education and land ownership Furthermore their results show that adult's education has a strong positive effect on household welfare in rural and urban areas Likewise El-Laithy, Lokshin and Banerji (2003) find that education is the factor that mostly affects households' escape ; from poverty (3)Household assets and community variables: Per capita landholding very small reduces diversification index With regard to community level variables, 43 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co village population density increases diversification index This is a reasonable and easy to understand when density of village increase, not enough land for agriculture and then villager need to find new source of income The variable distance from village to nearest urban center not have significant but still indicated that households living far from urban center, income of household in village decrease 44 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co HAPTER V: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusions and recommendations his study was motivated to review current status of diversification level of household i come and examine the role of non-farm income in total income of Vietnam's ousehold The analysis reported here was based on cross-section drew on a amework that conceptualized diversification as a product of household capacity ariables and "incentives to diversify" First, the fact that one third of the households the studied have not engaged yet in any form of economic diversification (if xclude money transfer), both wage and non-farm activities contribute to an increased verage total household income The empirical evidence in chapter showed that over an increasing movement in number of household income's source, specially in richest household Second, non-farm activities are a part of rural conomy in Vietnam today and it is a significant income contributor for many rural ouseholds, especially in many parts of Vietnam, where villages in mountainous egions are characterized by land scarcity, increasing household income strongly relies pon the development of non-farm activities, including the development of a local ral industry, tourism as well as migration The income quintiles results also show hat despite the vast differences in the levels of development, in geographical onditions and in the institutional structure, non-farm income is importance source elps to increase total household income Non-farm income has positive impacts on ousehold income and agricultural sector is not the leading sector anymore n order to increase family income, households follow two strategies, in some cases his is a mixture of both First, they increase number of income sources, primarily 45 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co tl om the self-employment activities Second, family members can increase family i come more if they work in different sectors of rural economy Conditions for s ccess are based on the ability to increase access to non-farm activities for all ouseholds, particularly for households with little human, land The econometric alysis shows that key determinant of success is well functioning labor markets in oth rural and urban areas, including education which most affect wage income and t aining for non-farm income egarding education and training, government intervention through the lowering of ducation and training costs is also required Although the average level of education ttainment has increased over time, Vietnam is lagging far behind of its Asian eighbors in terms of both investment in rural education and educational attainment nd remains quite low in skill labor The results confirm that better educated people re able to take more wages earning jobs and having training make them get more ·ncome from non-farm activities People in the rural area can be learning and training njob skill for increased wage opportunities as well as non-farm activities that leads to mproved social well-being, household income and satisfactory livelihoods Together ith the need for higher investment in rural education, the results also suggest that on he supply side, efforts must be done in urban areas to give better access to skilled obs to migrant people If migrants were to be given an equal access to urban skilled obs as compared to urban residents, higher expected returns to education and training ould probably pull more educated people out of farm jobs Limitations his thesis has some limitations With respect to the analytical parts of this thesis scrutinizing the existing studies, the limitations are research methodological: The 46 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add

data set had social capital variables like access to credit but it not ention how easy to access it Rather the analysis is aimed at increasing our derstanding of some of the underlying key
