Abstract
The main objective of the thesis is to measure the impact of interethnic marriages on the
educational performance of children between 7 and 22 years old using probit model. The
study employs data from the 2009 Population and Housing Census of the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam to investigate the interethnic marriages effect on the educational performance of
children. By using probit model, we found that interethnic marriages have positive effects
on the educational attainment of children in Vietnam. These effects decrease along with the
age of the child. Children with Kinh parents tend to have a lower disability than children
with ethnic minorities parents.
