An Analysis of Regional Inequalities in Per Capita Production and Causative Factors: Current Status of Agriculture, Manufacturing and Retail Trades in Vietnam

抄録

This paper examines the issue of regional inequalities in per capita production in Vietnam. In the 1990s, estimates indicate such inequalities may have widened, or at the very least persisted. It is concluded that regional inequalities have resulted from industrialization, restriction of internal migration, and the concentration of foreign direct investment and public investment in specific areas.
