| This paper uses Vietnam Households Living Standards Surveys of 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 and utilize a linear probability model with household fixed-effects to examine the impact of sectoral employment on rural poverty. The result shows that non-farm employment play a vital role in poverty reduction in rural Vietnam. The number of household members self-employing has a significant impact on poverty reduction. Employment in domestic private enterprises also contributes significantly to poverty reduction. Finally, change in rice price only helped to reduce poverty in 2006-08 when rice price increased significantly due to the global food crisis of 2008. |
