Tóm tắt

This paper uses econometric models to estimate factors determining the fishing household’s income in coastal plain areas of Quang Nam province. The estimation results indicate that the residential characteristics, characteristics of fisheries, characteristics of household’s socioeconomic and demographics are the main factors having significant impacts on fishing household’s income. In contrast, fisheries extension has no significant impact on the difference of income between fishing households. Based on the empirical results, some policy recommendations for improving the income of fishing households in coastal plain areas of Quang Nam province are proposed.
