Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry Core Insights - The study investigates the impact of export changes on labor market outcomes in Vietnam, focusing on both direct and indirect effects through supply chain linkages [6][12][57] - Findings indicate that both direct and indirect exposure to exports significantly enhance wages and employment while reducing inactivity and inequality [23][57] - The analysis highlights that wage premiums for college education decrease and the gender wage gap narrows as a result of increased export exposure [23][57] Summary by Sections Introduction - The report discusses the integration of developing nations into global trade and its implications for labor markets, particularly in Vietnam, which has experienced significant export-led growth [10][16] Conceptual Framework - A shift-share approach is utilized to assess the effects of trade shocks on labor markets, focusing on total export receipts exposure rather than just direct export exposure [25][56] Data - The analysis combines data from UN COMTRADE, input-output tables, and Vietnam's Labor Force Survey from 2010 to 2019 to evaluate labor market outcomes [28][30] Identification - The empirical strategy employs a two-stage least squares regression model to analyze the relationship between export exposure and labor market outcomes, controlling for various demographic factors [38][41] Results - **Impact on Wages**: Direct exposure leads to a US$32.5 increase in annual wages for every US$1,000 rise in direct exposure, while indirect exposure results in a US$31.14 increase [43] - **Impact on Employment**: Total exposure increases the likelihood of employment by 0.2 percentage points for every US$1,000 increase, with indirect exposure showing a more significant effect [45] - **Heterogeneity by Education**: Workers with lower education levels see greater employment gains, while college graduates experience a decrease in employment likelihood with increased export exposure [46][48] - **Heterogeneity by Economic Sector**: Employment gains are most pronounced in the Household Farm sector, while wage increases are notable in the Household Business sector [49] - **Heterogeneity by Income Level**: The lowest income quantile experiences the most significant wage improvements, with employment opportunities increasing across all income levels [50] Conclusion - The report concludes that both direct and indirect export exposure significantly influence labor market dynamics in Vietnam, highlighting the importance of supply chain connections in understanding these effects [56][58]
