This study aims to estimate the labor supply function of Vietnamese agricultural households under frequent natural disasters. The labor supply decisions regarding non-agricultural activities are estimated by assuming non-separability between production and consumption of the households. The shadow wage is recognized as the opportunity cost of agricultural labor, for corresponding households, and it is employed in the labor supply function. The results reveal that large scale and full-time farmers can reduce non-agricultural activities. Natural disasters increase the probability of being engaged in non-agricultural activities. These results indicate that development of agricultural sector can reduce migrant labor. Thus, agricultural investment in projects such as development of disaster tolerant varieties, is important.
