Abstract
Objective: 1) to examine the frequency of income quintiles by gender and ethnicity in Thai Nguyen 2) to explore the differences between these groups.
Method: 1568 individuals more than 18 years old who are working as farmer were selected. The weight values have been added in this paper so that the estimated population is closer to the reported population of Thai Nguyen province in 2009 Census.
Results: Males accounted for a smaller proportion than females (46.2% versus 53.8%). Mean age is 39.2 years old. There are more Kinh people in high income quintile than ethnic minorities (EM). By gender, women had lower income than men, although the total working time per week of women was similar (in EM) or higher (in Kinh) than men.
Conclusion: In Thai Nguyen province, there are the differences between man and female, Kinh and EM in income and working time.
Keywords: income, ethnic minorities, gender, Vietnam, Thai Nguyen
