Abstract
This study applied an Extension of the Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition method to the Labour Force Survey 2020 data to decompose the gender gap and estimate the impacts of factors on the gender gap in social insurance participation in Vietnam. The results showed there was a gender gap in social insurance participation between male and female group of workers in Vietnam. Although there were some differences between the two samples according to the age of workers, there were three groups of determinants of the gender gap including individual characteristics, household structure characteristics, and characteristics of differences in the labor market. The 6 observed characteristics with the greatest impact belonging to the 3 groups of determinants above are income level, job position, economic sector, education level, the number of school-age children in the household, and the number of elderly in the household. Furthermore, this study discussed policy implications for narrowing the gender gap in social insurance participation in Vietnam.
