Vietnam has conducted the State owned enterprise reform process since 1992. As of June 2007, 5,203 State-owned enterprises have been restructured, inclusive of 3,680 equitized. Under this program, a number of workers became redundant. To help these people, the Government of Vietnam has introduced a number of schemes, ranging from social insurance premium support, early-retirement compensation and training vouchers. As of the end of 2006, a total sum of VND 6,376 billion was disbursed to nearly 200,000 redundant workers. Out of Government programs, it seems that training voucher is directly improving the human capital by helping them get new jobs or start new businesses creating long-term possible earnings for people. However there may be other factors influencing the increased earnings of this group. Therefore this study will attempt to conduct a randomized experiment to identify the real impact of training voucher on the monthly income of redundant workers of restructured enterprises in Vietnam. Also other factors that may influence the income of redundancies will be identified. Half of the sampled individuals will receive free vocational training. The study team will use data from the baseline and follow-up surveys to assess the proposed impacts. Findings from the experiment will then be used for policy recommendations on the vocational training voucher scheme.
