在经济发展的早期阶段，非技术工人的迁移有助于劳动密集型制造业的生产。然而，在中等收入国家，技术工人的移徙成为经济进步的更重要因素。因此，评估移民模式的技能内容对于理解移民的经济影响至关重要。为此，我们调查了越南技术和非技术移民决策的决定因素。农村高等教育通过鼓励有技能的人迁移到城市来促进知识密集型生产。作为补充，商业农场发展鼓励非技术人员留在家中，有助于缓解城市过度拥挤。
In the early stages of economic development, the migration of unskilled workers contributes to labor-intensive manufacturing production. In middle-income countries, however, the migration of skilled workers becomes the more important factor in economic progress. Evaluating the skill content of migration patterns therefore is essential to understanding migration’s economic implications. For this purpose, we investigate the determinants of skilled and unskilled migration decisions in Vietnam. Rural higher education is shown to promote knowledge-intensive production by encouraging skilled individuals to migrate to cities. In complementary fashion, commercial farm development helps alleviate urban overcrowding by encouraging unskilled individuals to remain at home.
