widely credited with improving incentives for w production and growth Economic integration and the transition to a socialist- n lo oriented market economy provide both challenges and opportunities for the people ad y th in Vietnam Under Doi Moi Renovations, the opening up of Viet Nam to a ju competitive global marketplace, with rapid changes in information technologies, yi capital flows, mass media and culture The transition to a market economy in Viet pl ua al Nam involved a drastic modification of young men and women's transition from n school-to-work Today, many youth enter the labour market resulting in labour is a va critical aspect of Vietnam's development strategy in overcoming persistent poverty n ll fu and enhancing further economic growth as set out in a number of documents, such oi m as the country's ten year national strategy for socio-economic development (200 1- nh 2010) with its second five year socioeconomic development plan (2006-2010) One at of main objectives for Vietnam is to further strengthen its economy and prepare the z z country for further integration into the world community that need numerous skilled vb jm ht employments Meanwhile, education has played an important role in preparing knowledge for k gm an employment prior to joining labour market The linkages between the education l.c and training system and the labour market have to be strengthened to close the gap om between the skills in demand and the skills offered on the labour market It is said an Lu that a person's successes in seeking a job after quitting school is remarkable affected by the period he have stayed at school As a result, individuals with high n va levels of education are able to find work more easily, to command higher wages occupational mobility t re within a given occupation, and also to improve their chances of upward Harmon and Walker (1995) suggest that educational attainment is the main t to observed determinant of occupational status, which directly influences earnings ng Vietnam has been viewed as labour endowment but low productivity because of hi ep unskilled or semi-skilled employment Consequently, being employment or unemployment is not hirge distance For example, if an employment gets higher w education, he enables to adapt easily with changes of technology in a firm, so that n lo he has more opportunities to be hired again Additionally, Hamilton et al (2000) ad y th proves that workers who receiving more training will receive higher income ju because their training costs are lower than others without or less training yi Adversely, he will become unemployment if his company makes changes in pl ua al technology By finding contribution of education on employment's wage, we can n stress the impact of schooling to individual at initial stages va On other hand, children are affected by their family background Father, n ll fu mother and siblings create an environment that help a member better, otherwise oi m adversely effect by their interactions Meghir (2005) finds that one of factors is nh parents' education Practically, parent with good education and pay more time for at children can be instructor that encourage them to better study and confident in z z choosing a work If we combine two ideas above, we can find an interesting vb jm ht relationship between wage and family background of a person after quitting school Within this framework, the purpose is to determine the extent to which parents' k gm schooling outcomes feed through into children's schooling The determinants effect l.c on wage of an employee is obtained by running ordinary least squared model I have om utilized data of VHLSS 2006 and 2008 for my thesis The next section will an Lu introduce previous relevant empirical studies Section III will present about Vietnam labour market Section IV explores the model and introduces the data in va Sections V The empirical findings are reported in Section VI with several n e t re sensitivity tests are undertaken, and Section VII provides concluding comments 1.1 Research goals and objectives CHAPTER t to ng CONCLUSION hi 7.1 Conclusion ep This study aims at examining determinants of employee's wage for the w Vietnam labour market on the basic of Vietnamese Household Living Standards n lo Survey The estimation results are basically consistent with the findings of ad empirical studies and expectation The only difference is Duncan index represented y th ju for household's head occupation This is explained by lower educational attainment yi and proportion of manual jobs of parents The improvements of education and pl ua al occupation have lead to positive effects recent years such as in 2008 Practically, living standards have improved resulting in they themselves take care of children as n n va well as interest in their children' education In term of family background, number ll fu of siblings negative affects wages But in some case this variable is insignificant oi m One of findings is worker lives in the South East and urban receiving higher wages The results emphasize the real situation that people have tendency to favor living in nh at city and urban areas Age and ethnicity of workers are significant and positively z z correlated with wage while married status and ethnicity are recognized insignificant vb in 2006 The education attainment of worker is positive increase to wage It is the ht k jm key factor effect on wage The improving each level in five categories confirms gm wage increasing during investigated period from 2006 to 2008 l.c The regression results of the study shows that the goodness-of-fit of the model om is around 20% It means there are 20% of the total variance in wage is explained by a Lu all independent variables n 7.2 Policy implications skills encourage the vocational training for all workers Therefore, some policy implications are suggested below 41 te re wage The finding shows the important of education combination with worker's n va Educational attainment of workers is recognized the strongest factor effect Firstly, to support and push improvement educational attainment of workers t to Short, medium, or long term training courses would help employee equip necessary ng knowledge prior to working through encouraging private sectors as well as hi enterprises set up training center, university create more seats for students Each ep year, Vietnam's workforce increases 1,484,200 people (from 2000-2009, MOLISA) w which young labour accounts for around one third Meanwhile, technical and n lo professional workers have been become competitive advantages instead of cheap ad y th unskilled workers Therefore, if the number of workforce getting vocational training ju increases, labour market will increase more skilled employees that helps improve yi the advantages of labour force This implication can be deployed as Vietnamese's pl ua al literacy rate is over 90% and 64.46% workforce graduated High school including n 38.64% Lower secondary graduation As a result, labour endowment really proves n va its advantages in attracting investments On other side, well-equipped knowledge ll fu prior to entering labour market will help employees quickly get used to jobs as well oi m as create more chances to find out works after leaving schools In long time, it leads nh to rising in group of wages and salaries worker, and decreasing in group of at vulnerable worker which is considered as a source of widespread poverty z z Secondly, to encourage the joining of firms in vocational training The gap vb jm ht between knowledge teaching in schools and requested knowledge in working is big problem because training does not meet practical needs Enterprises often claim that k l.c gm they have to re-train for employees after recruitment And it costs both time and funds not only for employers but also for employees If universities associate with om employers in construction teaching programs, students will be taught practical an Lu awareness that help them easily begin new after leaving schools Therefore, the cooperation will narrow down the gap as removing the barriers which have existed n e t re for workers and students that give them more chances to successfully seek works va for a long time ago leading to cutting costs Furthermore, more classes are opened And the cooperation will contribute to the socialism policy in education of the J Government by utilizing funds from enterprises 42 - - The mentioned suggestions aim to improvement education of employees They t to are initial help workers inore opportunities to find out works as well as improve the ng labour endowment advantage Next, they can affect the ratio of wages and salaries hi group and vulnerable group in employed workers leading to preventing widespread ep poverty w n 7.3 Limitations lo In my thesis, the Adjusted R is over 0.2 Thus, hourly wage is explained ad y th approximately 20% by independent variables in the mode That is caused by the ju restrictions of data set which are mentioned in chapter as well as the restriction of yi pl number of variables Next, I have selected between mother's education and father's ua al education, which one is higher as proxy variable for parents' education because n there is not full data of both mother and father for each employee because of lack of va n spouse's information in cases such as widow, widower or divorce Therefore, I fu cannot independent test effect of education of mother and father on employee's ll m oi wage Thirdly, occupation of household's head is scored as Duncan (1961) with at nh modification in selection works for each group according to VHLSS's occupation codes That index was originally constructed by the US data, so it would make z z differences in implication, even though there were adjustments The limitations may vb k jm ht be a chance for further research om l.c gm n a
