This article aims at analyzing the patterns of income diversification underlying labor migration out of 1,905 households in the Mekong River delta region of Vietnam, basing on the data extracted from the VHLSS 2016 data. We use the theory of household’s livelihood strategy-, especially labor migration as introduced bv Ellis (2000), Stark & Bloom (1985), and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. The analyzed results show that a group of households with characterized with migrant(s) or poor was to have a higher rate of the income diversification than other households in home province. It is worth noting that the estimation reveals the positive effect of the labor migration and remittance flows from migrant(s) on the rate of income diversification among the surveyed households, especially improving economic conditions of households. Finally, suggestions facilitating further studies with an intensive analysis of labor migration and the policy implication of the income diversification strategy for households were pointed out.
