Abstract
Millions of rural workers have moved to cities to work since the introduction of Vietnam’s market reform, known as Doi Moi, in 1986. The establishment of industrial zones and the rapidly growing private sector have generated great demand for unskilled labour, which in turn has encouraged rural–urban migration. Rural–urban migration as a share of the migrant population has increased consistently over the period 1999–2014. The increasing pace of migration, together with the high concentration of migrants in a few large cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, has posed significant policy challenges for the Government of Vietnam in terms of how to manage the urbanisation process.
