Human resources for innovation in Viet Nam

This chapter examines the skills that are critical for innovation and discusses where Viet Nam stands in terms of its human resource capacity for innovation. It first looks at human resource capacity in universities, research institutes, firms, intermediary organisations and the government. It then analyses main constraints on producing human resources and skills for innovation, moving from those most directly related – faculty and the education and training curriculum and programmes – to broader constraints affecting the education and training systems and the labour market.
