| Research Abstract |
While the empirical literature on the schooling investment of households in developing countries assumes local returns to schooling as relevant investment incentives for rural households, this study, using micro data from Vietnamese households during the periods from 1993 to 2007, showed the returns in the urban wage sector is important determinant for rural households in making schooling investments. The results also suggests lowering the direct costs incurred on the compulsory schooling will improve the income distribution through an improvement in the level distribution of educational attainment and access to urban returns to schooling.
