Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of provincial economic development on internal migration in Vietnam based on the complex casual relationship between migration and economic development. We examine that impact for further understanding about the determinants could lead to human migration decision beyond the difficulties at the new destinations. Tabulations data about migration flows from GSO database in duration 2005-2013 and national statistical datasets from Statistical Yearbook about provincial development are used to analyze the impact of economic development on migration. The quantitative results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Common Panel Methods indicated that the higher economic development provinces have higher immigration attractiveness.
