Book Synopsis Economic Reform and Employment Relations in Vietnam by : Ngan Thuy Collins
Download or read book Economic Reform and Employment Relations in Vietnam written by Ngan Thuy Collins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformation of the Vietnamese economy from socialist planning to a market economy has led to Vietnam having one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world; and to also to Vietnam engaging much more with the international economy, joining the World Trade Organisation in 2006. This book fills a significant gap by surveying the economic reforms in Vietnam, where most studies have concentrated on other ‘young tiger’ economies. In particular it discusses the transformation of employment relations which have been a key part of the reforms and a necessary pre-condition to WTO membership. It examines the nature of employment reforms, analyses the motivation behind new policy initiatives and examines the detail of reforms in a range of business enterprises, reporting on extensive original research. Throughout it shows how several key forces have interacted – globalisation, government political interests, national cultural norms, market, managerial ideology and the special characteristics of particular firms – to produce a particular Vietnamese brand of post-communist market economy. Overall, this book illuminates the how employment relation practices are formed in transitional economies, and more broadly the economic and political transformation of socialist economies in the context of the global market.
Book Synopsis Economic Reform in Vietnam by : Keith Griffin
Download or read book Economic Reform in Vietnam written by Keith Griffin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam, along with China, stands out as a rare success story among transition economics. This authoritative study of the reform process since 1989 pays particular attention to the way the macroeconomics framework can contribute to an environment that encourages human development and helps to reduce poverty. Thus there are chapters on macroeconomics reforms, international trade policies, the role of the state, rural development, education and health, environmental issues and poverty and gender inequality. Although areas of weakness are indicated, emphasis is placed on the success Vietnam has experienced compared to other transition economies. The lessons of both the successes and failures of the reform process for policymakers elsewhere are outlined.
Book Synopsis Development in Vietnam by : Vu Tuan Anh
Download or read book Development in Vietnam written by Vu Tuan Anh and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 1994 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam's economy has been fundamentally changed by the policy reforms implemented in the 1980s to provide an environment that is more conducive for economic growth and social stabilization. The policy reforms have had a tremendous impact on economic activities and on all aspects of social life. The economy is presently moving from a centrally planned system largely based on public ownership to a market-oriented and mixed economy. Social structures and values have changed, and legal, institutional, and administrative systems are gradually changing as well. The reform process gives rise to exciting challenges and opportunities for development. Based largely on Vietnamese sources of data and information, this book presents an analysis of the main features of economic policy reforms in Vietnam, their socioeconomic impact, and several major theoretical and practical problems Vietnam faces on its path to development.

They also address the key question as to whether Asia is a new focal point of industrial conflicts.

Book Synopsis Domestic Services by : Kim Ha Nguyen
Download or read book Domestic Services written by Kim Ha Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines employer-employee relationships in domestic services in urban Hanoi in order to contribute to a fuller understanding of gender and class relations under economic reforms in Vietnam since 1986. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted with 24 female domestic workers and their employers, owners of domestic employment agencies, rural recruiters, former domestic workers, domestics' relatives in Hanoi and in Vinh Phuc province. I argue that due to a gender bias in state policies and local discourses, both female domestic workers and their female employers have suffered similarly from economic reforms. The withdrawal of state subsidies in health, education and social services has shifted more burdens to households and specifically to women in the context of local definitions of women's family responsibilities. A number of rural women have become domestic workers, and many urban women, their employers, in order to fulfill their family duties. Both groups of women tend to define themselves in terms of the four feminine virtues and struggle with the image of women both good at paid work and excelling at home. Negotiation and resistance occur when women get involved in domestics service as domestics and employers. The emphasis on harmonious relationships in Vietnamese culture, rooted in Confucianism, tends to obscure the actual relations of class conflict and struggle that are integral to employer-employee relationships. Although the class concept is typically not used to explain problems and conflicts, they are underlain by some class awareness and class struggle which are partially obscured because the boundary between employers and domestics is not always clear cut. I argue that domestic services in urban Hanoi need to be understood within the context of the political economy of gender and class relations under economic reforms. This dissertation contributes to the fields of gender studies, sociology, political economy, Vietnamese studies, and to the study of the restructuring of contemporary nation-states and societies under neo-liberal reforms. It hopes to provide useful information to scholars interested in Vietnam and domestic work, as well as to policy makers, planners, and activists who would like to "make" domestics more visible in a labour market through legal reforms.
Book Synopsis Economic Reforms, Manufacturing Employment and Wage in Vietnam by : Kien Trung Nguyen
Download or read book Economic Reforms, Manufacturing Employment and Wage in Vietnam written by Kien Trung Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine patterns and determinants of manufacturing employment and wages in Vietnam during the process of economic transition from a centrally planned to a market- oriented economy during the period 1990-2011. The thesis begins with an interpretative survey of the theoretical and empirical literature on manufacturing employment and wages in a labour-abundant economy, in order to provide the analytical context for the Vietnam case study. The second chapter surveys the market-oriented economic reforms in Vietnam over the last quarter century, with special emphasis on policies directly relevant for examining labour market outcomes. The next four chapters form the analytical core of the thesis. Chapter 4 examines structural changes in employment patterns in the economy with emphasis on the shift in the patterns of labour deployment from agriculture to manufacturing. Chapter 5 probes the impact of manufacturing export expansion on sectoral employment patterns. Chapter 6 deals with the determinants of inter-industry patterns of manufacturing employment, paying particular attention to the role of export orientation and firm ownership. Chapter 7 focuses on the determinants of manufacturing wages and wage premium. The empirical analysis in these four chapters makes use of a new firm-level panel dataset compiled from unpublished returns to the Annual Enterprise Survey undertaken by the Vietnamese General Statistical Office. The final chapter summarizes the key findings and provides policy implications. The findings suggest that the reforms have resulted in a significant shift in the pattern of labour absorption in the economy from the agriculture to manufacturing over the past three decades. Employment expansion in the manufacturing sector has been underpinned by a significant change in the employment pattern by ownership. Private sector firms, especially foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) have played a pivotal role in labour market transition. In particular, FIEs in export-oriented industries have accounted for the bulk of new jobs in the manufacturing sector. The expansion of manufacturing exports contributed to a notable increase in overall employment growth. Additionally, there has been a considerable spillover effect of export expansion on job creation in other sectors. There is also evidence that FIEs generally pay higher wages compared to both state-owned enterprises and domestic private firms, and the presence of export-oriented FIEs has contributed to widening the wage premium between skilled and unskilled workers. In general, the Vietnamese experience of employment generation through export-oriented strategies is comparable to that of the other East Asian economies. However, growth of manufacturing employment in Vietnam has begun to falter from about 2006, owing to macroeconomic policy slippage. The findings in this thesis make a strong case for sound macroeconomic management in order to sustain the favourable labour market outcome of liberalization reforms.
Book Synopsis Vietnam's Development Strategies by : Pietro Masina
Download or read book Vietnam's Development Strategies written by Pietro Masina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a developmental approach, this book critically reviews Vietnam's reform process and shows how the country’s reform agenda is still dominated by a ‘developmental orthodoxy’ inspired by a post-Washington consensus. The author argues that a wider debate is needed in order to give national policy makers the full spectrum of alternatives to support well-informed policy decisions. In particular, the book indicates that two issues central for any analysis of the Vietnamese development reform process are substantially underdeveloped in the current scientific debate: the experience of the East Asian developmental state and the question of socialism. Presenting a way of thinking about Vietnam that goes beyond the orthodox, the book sets out the various paradigms through which the Vietnamese economy can be analyzed. This is a welcome addition to the literature and will appeal to both practitioners working in the field and the academic community in Southeast Asian studies, economics and development.
Book Synopsis Employment Generation Through Private Entrepreneurship in Vietnam by : Per Ronnås
Download or read book Employment Generation Through Private Entrepreneurship in Vietnam written by Per Ronnås and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 1992 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of the economic reform programme in Vietnam the private sector has assumed a key role as engine of economic growth and source of employment and income generation. Yet, information on this sector has been woefully inadequate. The present study provides a first comprehensive investigation of the private non-farm sector in post-reform Vietnam, based on a large field survey of rural and urban non-state enterprises in both the south and the north in 1991. The economic and operational characteristics of these enterprises, their development track and growth constraints, linkages with othe.
Book Synopsis From Plan To Market by : Adam Fforde
Download or read book From Plan To Market written by Adam Fforde and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and accessible text explores Vietnam's successful transition from neo-Stalinist central planning to a market economy—“Vietnamese style.” After describing the north Vietnamese system prior to 1975 and its colonial and pre-colonial antecedents, the authors uncover the mechanisms of that changeover. They contend that the Vietnamese transition was largely bottom-up in character and that it evolved over a long enough period for the country's political economy to adjust. This explains in part the rapid shift to a high-growth, externally oriented development path in the early 1990s, despite the loss of Soviet aid and the lack of significant Western substitutes until 1992–1993. Based upon extensive in-country experience, a wealth of primary materials, and wide comparative knowledge of development issues, the book challenges many preconceived notions, both about Vietnam and about the general nature of transition processes.

Book Synopsis Economic Growth and Employment in Vietnam by : David Lim
Download or read book Economic Growth and Employment in Vietnam written by David Lim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam has enjoyed significant economic success since the implementation of its "doi moi" reforms, including rapid growth in GDP, exports and foreign and domestic investment, and a shedding of poorly-performing state-owned enterprises. Despite this, however, the economic situation for many ordinary people in Vietnam is fragile, with income only just above the poverty line, and high unemployment, especially among the young. In addition, inflation is high, and the state-owned sector is still large, much of it still performing badly. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current economic situation in Vietnam. It outlines the state of the economy, paying special attention to employment, discusses government policies including on trade and integration with the global economy, and concludes by assessing the key challenges facing Vietnam’s economy going forward.
Book Synopsis Authority Relations and Economic Decision-making in Vietnam by : Phong Đặng
Download or read book Authority Relations and Economic Decision-making in Vietnam written by Phong Đặng and published by Nordic Institute of Asian Studies. This book was released on 1998 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the evolution of state institutions since 1945 in Vietnam in order to understand the continuities since the commencement of market-oriented economic reforms as well as the extent to which rapid social change has altered authority relations and decision-making processes. It looks particularly at relations between the Communist Party, government and legislature and at those between central and local authorities. What emerges is a more democratic or pluralist system than is portrayed in the 'totalitarian' and 'bureaucratic authoritarian' models. This helps to explain the apparent flexibility of the Vietnamese political system in the face of rapid economic transition, as well as strengths and weaknesses in the democratization process.
Download or read book Vietnam written by Ian Jeffries and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning the Vietnam War proved easier than winning the peace. Since 1975, the reunited country has faced the problem of how a poorer, planned economy in which state ownership and control could successfully absorb a more advanced, capitalist economy. In addition, the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War heralded a new age in Vietnam’s internal and external relations. Vietnam traces developments since the end of the Vietnam War, including recent economic reforms, the politics of the Communist Party, and the re-establishment of relations with the United States. It gives a comprehensive and informative overview of the current political and economic situation in Vietnam today.
