Abstract

Nghi Son Economic Zone, a central economic hub in Vietnam, has experienced significant growth in its industrial and service sectors. This growth has drawn a large workforce from surrounding regions. This research investigates how land acquisition within the zone has affected the social and occupational landscape for rural workers in Thanh Hoa Province. The study will analyze the vocational structure of rural workers before and after land acquisition and clarify their career transition process in this context. To achieve the research objectives, we use quantitative methods and qualitative policy analysis, including collecting and analyzing statistical data on the socio-economic situation, and labor structure in the research area, conducting survey interviews with representatives of 400 households whose land was acquired to learn about changes in their lives, work, and income; and analyzing relevant policies of the Party and State related to land acquisition, compensation, resettlement support, and job creation to inform potential solutions. From the analysis, evaluation, and research, it proposes solutions to minimize the negative impacts of land acquisition, ensure social security, and contribute to improving people’s lives and livelihoods. The research has scientific significance in supplementing land policies and labor restructuring studies. It is of practical importance in perfecting land policies and laws, contributing to the country’s sustainable development.
