Abstract

Japan successfully became the first industrialized country in Asia thanks to the right pathway and policies with a long-term strategic vision based on national potentials and the advantages of being one of the latter countries to apply science and technology into production. The Japanese government pays special attention to developing internal and external human resources, that had helped Japan to become an economic superpower. Vietnam should learn from Japan’s experiences and utilize domestic conditions and circumstances to modernize and transform its agricultural economy into an industrialized economy with advanced technologies.

Keywords: Human resources, modernization, Vietnam, Japan.
