Abstract: This paper examines the demographic, economic, and social antecedents of international migrations of skilled laborers to Vietnam. We defined skilled immigrants as individuals who are working in professional positions, such as managers, CEO, specialist, and technical laborers. Using various econometric techniques for the sample of 63 provinces in Vietnam during the 2019–2020 period, our study highlights the importance of global network and institutional quality in promoting the international inflows of skilled workers to each province in Vietnam. The income of the host city and the lack of skilled labors in these cities captured by the level of young employment and skilled worker also play a critical role in skilled immigrants’ decisions.
