[en] Since migration was mentioned as a pattern of development the debates have never ended. In Vietnam, the industrial zone has been developed rapidly for more than 20 years. However, the rate of migrant labor is high. Based on push and pull theory of migration the study is to find the reasons that push or pull rural labors to migrate to industrial zones. By surveying 190 migrants in industrial zone, the study found that the employment in the zones is not stable in the long run. Migration not always driven by poor economic condition of the household in the areas of origin, it is the way of life of young rural labor and the migrants in the zones seem to be pulled rather than pushed.
