ABSTRACT Vietnam has made considerable progress in improving the living standards of its people since the reforms implemented under doi moi However, the reform progress has made problems of society such as the pressure in rural - urban migration, an increase in unequal income distribution between different regions and unstable economy Therefore, a development strategy should be more focused on promotion of rural non-farm sector in order to create more employment and income opportunities for rural populations This paper estimated the non-farm income function of households in rural of Vietnam and evaluated the importance of rural non-farm activities in generating employment and income opportunities The econometric analysis is based on the primary data from Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey 2008 With 2117 observations (in rural area), the regression results show that the factors such as household characteristics, regions, infrastructure, occupation of household head had strong impact to non-farm household income in rural area From the regression results, this study gives some solutions to promote rural non-farm activities in Vietnam in the coming years iv 123doc TABLE OF

non-farm household income in Vietnam will be investigated in this chapter In particular, this chapter includes five sections The first section will raise the problem necessary to make clear for the case of Vietnam The second section will present the research objectives of this thesis The next section will raise the questions to obtain the proposed objectives The fourth section will briefly describe the research methodology And the structures of the thesis will be described in this chapter 1.1 Problem Statement For nearly 25 years, the government of Vietnam has been looking for the direction of socio-economic development in order to escape the rural from deprivation, poverty and backwardness Government has many programs to promote the new rural construction to improve people's living standards Economic reform in Vietnam in the last two decades, characterized by the economic policy reform, opening and operating economy towards a market economy According to Vietnam Economic Times (20 11 ), the average economic growth increased from 7.5 % in the period 1991 - 2002 to 8% in period 2002-2007 The economic structure has changed the direction towards industrialization and modernization The proportion of agriculture in total GDP of the country declining from 27.18% in 1995 to 24.53% in 2000 and to 21% in 2008 The poverty rate fell consistently from 58% in 1993 to 29% in 2002 and to 14,5% in 2008 (Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences - 201 0) Economic growth and the stability of the macroeconomic environment has confirmed the correctness of innovation policy In rural areas, the process of economic restructuring also has changed significantly Due to the success of diversified occupations strategy, the leading position of agriculture in the rural household economy have no meaning as before The program of mechanization, modernization of irrigation has reduced labor time 123doc - in agriculture significantly Because of the longer leisure time, the rural household can participate in the non-farm activities on a regular basis Any economic activity which has effective may become the main activity of household economy in rural The rural economy shifted towards increasing industries, services and other activities of non-farm sector The development of non-farm sector has contributed to creating jobs, increasing incomes, improving living standards for a certain part of residents, and creating a new face for rural area This suggests that non-farm activities play the important role in the living of households and development of economy and society ofVietnam The non-farm activities contributed to the improvement and diversification of people's income This has been widely recognized Especially in rural Vietnam, the development of non-farm sector has great meaning in solving the poverty, underemployment and seasonal unemployment which are still the phenomenon of the rural area Vietnam has gained remarkable achievements in improving people's living standards since the reforms implemented under doi moi However, the reform progress has created problems of society such as the pressure in rural - urban migration, an increase in unequal income distribution between different regions Furthermore, the rural - urban gap has widened considerable Therefore, an effective development strategy should be more focused on promotion of rural nonfarm sector in order to create more employment and income opportunities for rural populations and improve other problems of society It is widely recognized that income from non-farm activities likely to play increasingly significant role in the household income in rural This study investigates the participation of rural households into non-farm activities to have an overview of non-farm activities in rural Vietnam; identifies the contribution of nonfarm activities on household income; analyzes determinants of income of rural nonfarm household to identify the important determinants of rural non-farm household 123doc - Employment and household income in rural non-farm activities have grown rapidly over 2004- 2008 period In rural areas, households involved in non-farm activities has the lowest proportion 32% vs 85% of households involved in agriculture And the rich households tend to participate non-farm more than poor households Non-farm activities is the most popular in Red River Delta (37%), Southeast (35%) and South Central coast (33.5%) Kinh & Hoa group tend to participate in non-agricultural than other ethnic groups Household in rural area tends to choose Processing industry, Construction and Trading business (total density of three sectors is 67% ) - In rural areas, agricultural mcome is still the mam source of income (42.8%), non-farm incomes has low proportion (16.8%) Labor in rural areas is mainly in the agricultural sector Non-agricultural activities are more attractive the labors with middle education and in age from 26-45 years old This activities uses 17.9% of total labor force of households but generate 21.8% income for households While farm activities use 50% of labors but only earned 28.7% of household income This shows that non-farm activities provide the highest productivity compared to other activities This shows that the important role of non-farm activities in generating income for households in rural areas - In all regions of the nation, non-farm income is highest in the Mekong River Delta, South East and Red River Delta These also are the regions with the lowest poverty rate nationwide In general, income in the southern tend to be significantly higher than other regions South east is the most favorable region to generate non-farm income Coast is negligible The non-farm income of Northwest, North Central The households in this two regions participate farm with highest proportion - Income from non-farm activities in rural areas is significantly affected by education of household head and the number of household members aged 26-45 Income increases with age, while over 55 years, the income to decline The higher 61 123doc education of household head, the better opportunities to increase non-farm income of households Non-farm activity is a type of operation that need the experience and knowledge Then, easy to recognize the important role of education for this activity when you want to develop non-farm activities on a large scale The analysis also showed that households with large household size will have higher non-farm mcomes - Local market index variable has relatively strong impact to non-farm income This suggests that the development of the market exchange of goods and services, trading will create favorable conditions for the products of non-agricultural activities to consumers and creating favorable conditions for increasing of household income from this activity - Infrastructure variable impact to non-farm income of households because of high statistical significance Electricity, roadindex, factory combined with market index gives us more insight on the effects of infrastructure elements Infrastructure improvement will impact the income of rural households in general In particular, elements of infrastructure have important implications for households in the highlands, the northern mountainous and Central if this factor was be improved the households in these areas would preferred to engage in non-farm activities rather than agriculture In general, infrastructure is critical for poverty reduction and nonfarm development in rural areas -Migration affects non-farm income and has negative impacts Households with many migrant labors, the non- farm income of households tend to decrease This suggests the creation of non-farm income or participation in non-farm activities depends on the number of members in household With fewer migrant workers, the opportunity for non-farm income of households increased - The appearance of traditional handicraft villages in commune has the statistical significant But it belongs the group of weakest effect to non-farm income 62 123doc of the household This suggests that programs to encourage job creation through the development of handicraft villages is not yet effective for the development of nonagricultural activities As discussed, handicraft villages have more meaning when shifting labor from agriculture to wage employment than from agricultural to selfemployment activities of households - In the group of the occupation of household head, only few variables are statistically significant The variables represent the household which the occupation of household head are Leader, High- level Professionals, Staff, Skilled Workers in Agriculture or Unskilled Workers not have significant at 25% The occupations of household head are Mid-level Professionals and Armed forces have negative impacts to non-farm income of the household Based on the data, the households with head of household have occupations: Skilled worker in Personal Services, Skilled handicraftsmen, Assemblers & machine operators have the highest non-farm i income This demonstrates that Skilled handicraftsmen and other works relating skilled manual workers (such as skilled miners and builders, food processing, woodworking, textiles and garment, leather and shoemaking workers ) are easy to create high non-farm income for households than in other industries In conclusion, this study found that non-farm income of household in rural areas affected by key factors such as geographic region, household characteristics and infrastructure ofthe local 5.2 Recommendations Thesis found that non-farm activities play an important role in creating opportunities for employment and income, poverty reduction, development of inter-sectoral linkages with the agricultural sector Promoting non-farm sector in rural areas is a necessary option Here are some recommendations to stimulate nonfarm activities in rural Vietnam: 63 123doc • From the meaning of education factor in the restructuring of labor, we need to improve the quality of rural labor forces to create the ability to capture investment opportunities in no-farm activities The school systems and teachers in rural and remote areas should be increased the investment to consolidate The strategy and plan of training for rural labors should be made in detail and be suitable for local In particular, the industries have practical significance to the development of the local should be focus; While encouraging the development of handicraft industry and the traditional villages, should focus on improving educational level and skills of other job for labor to increase flexibility and the ability to switch when the market for products of these activities has fluctuation • Because the significant effect of age of the labors (represented by the ratio of household members in aged classes) for non-farm income of the household (increasing from 16-45) The support policies for youth employment in rural areas such as cultural issues, education, vocational training is needed The role of information technology, measures to support rural employment for these labors should be concerned Agriculture and non-farm affiliated closely together Therefore, the expansion of agricultural services will also help for the development of non-farm activities • With the important implication of the infrastructure for ability and speed of the restructuring of rural labor The policies to promote the upgrading and improving rural infrastructure on the basis of a scientific planning is very importance to develop the non-farm activities In other words, the sustainability of the infrastructure is to be considered This factor is very important to make the rural market development, reducing the gap with urban areas and create stronger linkages with urban areas The improvement of infrastructure in rural areas especially in the Northern 64 123doc mountainous region, North Central and North Central Coast is necessary to promote non-farm activities and reduce the rate of poor in rural areas • The population of rural continued to increase and created the large pressure on employment in rural areas Therefore, the appearance of migratory flows from rural to urban areas is a common phenomenon when the strategy of urbanization, large-scale industrialization of the developed countries can not absorb a labor force developing The mass migration flow is likely to disrupt the economy, increasing poverty in urban So, many countries were interested in economic development in rural areas to encourage people stay in countryside This has implications for nonagricultural income of the household The programs that support in finding and creating employment as well as economic - social conditions is necessary to attract labors in the local • The households with household head who have occupations are Skilled worker in personal services, Skilled handicraftsmen, Assemblers & machine operators have the highest non-farm income Strongest effect is Skilled handicraftsmen This demonstrates that Skilled handicraftsmen and other relating skilled manual workers (such as skilled miners and builders, food processing, woodworking, textiles and garment, leather and shoemaking workers ) are easy to create high non-farm income for households than in other industries According to general assessment, the products made from handicrafts, traditional crafts created superior value compare to agriculture The policies should focus on supporting and developing non-farm activities that is the advantage of local (such as skilled handicraft) This will attract people to participate and create product with high value 65 123doc Surely, there should be more coordinated policy to encourage non-agricultural activities in rural Vietnam These are some recommendations are based on only the results of the thesis In fact, the comprehensive coordination of different policies for non-farm activities in rural areas in particular and the country in general achieve the best performance is needed 5.3 Limitation Thesis attempted to analyze the factors affecting non-farm income of households in many different aspects to be able to evaluate and make the best recommendations for the development of non-farm activities of the household But the limitations and shortcomings are inevitable The data using in thesis is the cross section Therefore, it is not clearly to see the change of the impact of factors over the time The reason of this limitation due to the lack of technical ability to handle i data at more complex However, the thesis is also based on previous studies to supplement this deficiency 5.4 Future research This study will be more interesting if it is analyzed from the VHLSS data from 93 to 2010 To see clearly the direction of the impact of factors over the time Such as the changing status of infrastructure impacts on non-farm income of the household over the years, or the improvement of infrastructure will have differential effects on non-farm activities in each particular region over the years The recommendations will be deeper Any attempt to this is left for future research 66 123doc REFERENCE Aikaeli, Jehovaness (2010) "Determinants of Rural income in Tanzania: An Empirical Approach" Research on Poverty
