Factors Affecting the Decision to Choose an Industrial Park: Case Study Industrial Parks of Viet Yen District and Bac Giang Province

The paper shows that the decision to choose an industrial park was influenced from seven factors: Living conditions (0.400), encouragement from family and friends (0.256), income and welfare (0.225), lack of non-agricultural employment opportunities (0.162), geographical location of industrial park (0.133), access to information (0.126) and industrial park size (0.074). Meanwhile, gender, age, education level did not have a significant impact of decision to choose an industrial park to work. This is a valuable finding in both theory and practice, and is the basis for making policies to attract workers to work in industrial parks in Viet Yen district and Bac Giang province.
