摘要：Using data from the 2014 Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey, this study employs
cluster analysis techniques to provide the first classification of five livelihood strategies
pursued by rural households. The methodology also included a comparison between the
per capita household income across livelihood strategies using the Bonferroni pairwise
tests. The authors found that households with non-farming or wage-earning livelihoods
achieved the highest income levels, while those depending on farm-related incomes or a
mix of wage-earning and farm-related incomes had the lowest income levels. Furthermore,
factors associated with the choice of livelihoods were investigated using a multinomial logit
model. The findings reveal that farmland is negatively associated with the choice of high
return livelihood strategies. This suggests that access to farmland is not a potential barrier
to the pursuit of lucrative strategies. In addition, the education level of household heads
proved to have a positive effect on the pursuit of remunerative strategies. The authors also
found that households living in communes with minimal infrastructure and non-farming
job opportunities have a more significant chance to adopt high-return livelihoods.
