“…Twenty-three of these companies decided to enter Vietnam and ten other companies decided to enter countries such as Cambodia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Serbia, and Thailand. This fact confirms the lack of potential of several ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines in the eyes of foreign investors (Coxhead et al 2019). The opportunities created by the trade war between the United States and China apparently did not necessarily have a positive impact on ASEAN countries because the shifting of the manufacturing base of American companies from China could not be captured by Indonesia, Singapore, and the Philippines.…”

A trade war between the United States and China resulted in an increase in trade tariffs on imported goods entering each of these countries. Southeast Asian countries that have trade relations with the two countries, especially in terms of non-oil and gas exports of 25% to 35%, will be affected by export demand. Furthermore, the effects of the trade war will reduce gross domestic product (GDP) in Southeast Asian countries or the ASEAN and increase the current account deficit. On the other hand, the effects of the trade war that led to the decision of foreign investors to move their manufacturing base out of China will produce a flow of foreign investment that is ready to be captured by every ASEAN country.

“…Attitudes and norms in Vietnam dictate that women occupy a lower social status than men, with women expected to shoulder more unpaid care work on a daily basis. Also, women are not seen as being able to access employment opportunities as readily as men because the Vietnamese society views these women as deviating from the ideal Vietnamese woman who stays at home and is responsible for non-work duties (Coxhead et al , 2019).…”

“…opportunities as readily as men because the Vietnamese society views these women as deviating from the ideal Vietnamese woman who stays at home and is responsible for nonwork duties (Coxhead et al, 2019). Arguably, Vietnamese female SIRs depart from their domestic counterparts as they have already started the transition away from this role and family identity to emphasise a career identity, as they are highly skilled and have moved offshore before.…”

PurposeIntegrating identity theory and role theory, this study examines the re-expatriation inclinations of highly-skilled professional female self-initiated repatriates (SIRs) in an Asian rapidly emerging market (REM) and the reasons underlying these inclinations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a survey on a sample of highly-skilled professional female SIRs in Vietnam (N = 248). Structural equation modelling was used to evaluate the model.FindingsThe study found that female SIRs' career identity, family identity and social identity have a significant influence on their inclinations to re-expatriate. Attitude towards re-expatriation fully mediates the influence of family identity and career identity on re-expatriation inclinations.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was limited to female SIRs in one REM, namely Vietnam, and may lack generalisability in countries and contexts.Originality/valueBy delineating the identity-related factors that contribute to skilled female SIRs' inclinations to re-expatriate and recognising gender as a complex, multifaceted social construct, the authors broaden the way expatriation is conceptualised and isolate factors that can inform practices for recruitment and retention of this important sub-set of international talent.

“…Meanwhile, saving and debt values associated with a person's financial balance may influence their moving incentives, for example, to earn for debt paying. Finally, the level of engagement in local community indicates the informal connections of a person to their neighbourhood, which may reduce their moving incentives (Coxhead et al, 2019). Together with the full set of control variables presented above, the addition of these four variables helps explain which circumstances make entrepreneurs and employees more likely to move, respectively.…”

People move from one region of a country to another not only for employment but also for business opportunities.Their earnings, relative to those of comparable local employees and local entrepreneurs, reflect the efficiency of internal migration policies. Investigating a large number of migrants and non-migrants in Vietnam, we find that while migrant entrepreneurs earn more than local entrepreneurs, migrant employees earn less than their local counterparts.Moreover, regions with unalloyed socialist norms (North Vietnam) enhance migrants' advantages, leading to higher earnings, whereas migrants in regions with proentrepreneurship norms (South Vietnam) find it difficult to compete with the locals.
