| description |
In 2007, the General Statistics Office
(GSO) launched a joint research program with the French
Institute of Research for Development (IRD), to measure and
analyzes the informal sector in Vietnam. Two kinds of
surveys were conducted in 2007: a national Labour Force
Survey (LFS), which, in a first for Vietnam, classified
labour by institutional sector, separating out the informal
sector; two specific surveys, in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
(HCMC), which were grafted onto the LFS2007 to find out more
about the characteristics of Household Businesses (HBs) in
general and especially the informal sector. These surveys
have been extensively analyzed, and the full results edited
in a book. Two years later, this successful experience has
been re-conducted, with the additional objectives to
consolidate the methodology and to assess the impact of the
global crisis on the labour market in general and the
informal economy in particular. This paper presents the main
findings (both methodological and analytical) of these two
rounds of surveys as regards the informal sector in Hanoi
and HCMC. In the context of the global crisis, it looks at
the dynamics of the informal sector between 2007 and 2009.
Taking advantage of this unique survey protocol, the first
part investigates the macro dynamics comparing the two
representative cross sections, while the second focuses on
the micro dynamics drawn from the panel component.
Transitions between formal and informal sector are explored.
The third part aims at analyzing the perception of HBs'
heads to assess the impact of the crisis. Then, the last
section explores the changes as regards the problems faced
by HBs, their interaction with the state and their outlook.
In the conclusion, the author determines some of the
implications of the findings in terms of economic policies.
This report can be usefully complemented by two companion
papers: the first one presents the adjustment of the labour
market and the informal economy nationwide, based on the
LFS2007 & 2009; the second one is a policy brief on the
impact of the crisis on the informal sector in Hanoi and HCMC. |
