Despite of maintaining a high economicgrowth rate in the last two decades, GDP per capita ofVietnam is still in low level versus others Asiandevelopingcountries GDP per capita ofVietnam improved significantly from 143 US$ in 1991 to 1,224 US$ in 2010 but it was still in low level versus Korea 20,7 56 US$, Malaysia 8,3 72 US$, Thailand 4,608 US$ and the Philippines 2,140 US$ per person in 2010 respectively (World Bank, 2012) Therefore, an analysis ofstructuraltransformation process ofVietnam in the context of other Asiandevelopingcountries will be a helpful topic to Vietnamese policymakers My paper tries to achieve three main objectives: (1) to analyze structuraltransformation process of some Asiandeveloping countries, including China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam, during 1985-20 10; (2) to analyze labor productivity of between Vietnamand Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines; (3) to implicate ways to improve structuraltransformation process ofVietnam Therefore, the main questions of this paper research are: (1) how is the structuraltransformation process ofAsiandeveloping countries? (2) is the structuraltransformation process ofAsiandevelopingcountries homogenous? (3) what are the differences ofstructuraltransformation process and labour productivity between Vietnamand Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines? These questions will be answered upon the analysis in chapter four The paper IS continued with following chapters Chapter two recalls the literature review including the theories and empirical studies ofstructuraltransformation in the world andVietnam Chapter three describes the dataset and research methodology Chapter four analyzes the structuraltransformation process ofAsiandevelopingcountriesand the comparison ofstructuraltransformationand labor productivity ofVietnam versus Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines Base on the main findings identified in chapter four, chapter five will come out with the main conclusions, policy implications and limitations of this research Structuraltransformation process is transformation process between sectors in an economy such as the transformation between agriculture, industrial and service sector through time or through development (GDP or GDP per capita) Agriculture sector covers forestry, fishing, hunting and agriculture as a whole; Industrial sector comprise mining, quarrying, manufacturing, construction, electricity, gas, water; Service sector includes all service activities, such as transportation, logistics, communication, whole sale, retail, banking, insurance, real estate, public administration, defense and others services Labor productivity in service sector 16,000 l 14,000 : 12,000 ~ > ~ c II) 8,000 Cl) 6,000 4,000 Cl) ~ en ::J 10,000 2,00~ j • co "'"' , • -, ., It I I co t- "'"' "' "' • I I "'"' "' 0 N 0 N ~ • • N 0 N C") 0 N • 'V 1.0 0 N • _ ,_Series - Series2 • I 0 N M' It , , , , - It' • I co 0 N r0 N co 0 N "' 0 N • Series3 .,_ Series4 16,000 14,000 ftl ~ 12,000 Cll ~ 10,000 ~ 8,000 ~ 4,000 ! 6,000 ! :l 2,000 co a> a> t- a> a> a> a> "' a> a> 0 0 N N ~ I• N 0 N 1.0 'V 0 N N N C") MYS THAD A-ll D VNM co 0 N t0 N 0 N "' 0 N I Figure 17: Labor productivity in service sector of Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines Source: Author's calculation and draw from data of World Bank, 2012 We see all the three sectors of agriculture, industry, and services ofVietnam are less efficient than Malaysia, Thaland and the Philippines One question posed is that in these three sectors in Viet Nam, which sector is the least effective? Table 66 and figure 18 below show us that in these three sectors, agriculture is the least effective, with labor productivity in 2009 was US$ 793 per person per year, followed by the service sector with US$ 2,636 per person per year and the most efficient in the three sectors is the industry with US$ 3,892 per person per year 1996 264 1997 279 1,782 1,353 1998 277 1,947 1,222 1999 278 2,047 1,241 2000 283 2,235 1,310 2001 280 2,115 1,348 2002 300 2,119 1,337 2003 336 2,146 1,417 2004 377 2,312 1,533 2005 435 2,657 1,599 2006 507 2,642 1,737 2007 567 3,227 1,998 2008 785 3,811 2,466 2009 793 3,892 2,636 Source: Author's calculation from data of World Bank, 2012 Before moving on to Chapter 5, I would like to summarize the process ofeconomicstructuraltransformationofVietnam compared to Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines over the main points in the section 4.2.3 as follows: (1) the share of agriculture in GDP ofVietnam is still high and is the highest in the four countries The share of services in GDP ofVietnam is always the lowest in the four studied countries; (2) The rate of labor distribution in the agricultural sector ofVietnam is very high compared to Malaysia, Thaland, and the Philippines and in the opposite direction, the rate of labor in services ofVietnam is very low compared to Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines; (3) labor productivity in all three sectors ofVietnam are lower than Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines but the most inefficient is agricultural sector, followed by the service and industrial 67 Sectoral labor productivity ofVietnam 4,500 4,000 ca 3,500 Cll >- Cll 3,000 1: 2,500 a I!! 2,000 Cll Cll 1,500 ~ 1,000 - -&- a a t/) :::J 500 - &- co en en I'- en en -&- •1& -·-~ co en en en en en -·-·- -· • 0 N IL - I 00 N N •Agr '" •
