What is it about?
In Vietnam, college or university graduates benefit from a statistically significant difference in the quality of employment in comparison with their colleagues without such education. The findings suggest that higher education programs play an important role in employee benefits.

Why is it important?
This research suggest that the government needs to have supporting policies to help employees undertake and finish higher education instead of settling for a general education (primary, secondary, or high school). In turn, this step would help employees improve their wages and employment benefits in the future.
Perspectives
This study considers not only the linkage between education and wages but also the relationship between education and quality of employment. Contrary to many findings, the empirical results show that only workers with a college or university degree, in fact, earn higher wages and quality of employment than those without these degrees when only individual characteristics are considered.
