Abstract:

Rural development is a global relevant phenomenon that needs the particular attention of researchers as well as regulators to achieve the development goals it entails. Considering this, the present study investigates the impact of agriculture growth, agricultural employment and import and rural population growth on rural development in Vietnam. This study is conducted based on the secondary data extracted from World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1981 to 2018. This study executes the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to investigate the nexus among the variables. The results show that agriculture growth, agricultural employment and import and rural population growth have a positive nexus with rural development in Vietnam. This study offers valuable insights for rural area development authorities and policy experts to help formulate effective and responsive policies to promote agricultural growth and develop rural societies.
