Abstract: This paper explores the link between globalization and internal mobility in Vietnam. We find that Vietnam’s internationalization processes have an asymmetric economic impact on the provinces. Using data on inter-provincial migration flows, we show that this asymmetry is also detectable in terms of differences in the levels of provincial attraction vis-à-vis internal migration. In particular, provinces receiving higher foreign direct investment are found to be the most attractive for internal migrants. The existence of a pull-through effect associated with migrant networks also emerges in our findings. Overall, the results corroborate the idea that globalization processes are key determinants of internal migration flows.
