Abstract

Using survey data from rural Vietnam, this paper documents a statistically significant, positive effect of self-employment in farming on subjective well-being. Wage workers are less happy than farmers across a range of different types of wage jobs. These results suggest that structural transformation is associated with a psychological cost, which may contribute to explaining earnings gaps between sectors and types of employment.
