Workshop – Micro, small, and medium enterprises in Viet Nam

8 November 2016, Hanoi, Viet Nam

Micro, small, and medium enterprises in Viet Nam


This workshop organized by UNU-WIDER brings together early-career researchers to present first drafts of their papers on the 2015 wave of the micro, small, and medium enterprises survey.

During the months of June and July 2015, an enterprise survey was administered to 2,649 formal and informal micro, small, and medium enterprises engaged in the private manufacturing sector in nine provinces of Viet Nam. This survey was conducted in collaboration with two Vietnamese partners: the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Viet Nam (MPI) and the Institute of Labour Science and Social Affairs (ILSSA) of the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs of Viet Nam (MoLISA). 

In order to improve the understanding of critical issues related to enterprises in Viet Nam, UNU-WIDER invited proposals from qualified researchers for detailed economic analysis of this dataset to work towards the development of a collective publication.
