Tóm tắt

Vietnam has achieved important progress in closing the gender gap in education and increasing women's labor force participation. However, are women's labor market opportunities on par with those of men? We analyze the gender earnings gap and establish that women's propensity to work in lower paid occupations is a major culprit in the emergence of a gender earnings gap. We provide suggestive evidence of why women choose to work in lower paid occupations.
