Abstract

Environmental degradation has recently become an international issue requiring forestry and agricultural growth that improves environmental uncertainty. This aspect requires the emphasis of new researchers and policymakers. Hence, the present study examines the impact of women's employment in forestry and agriculture, micro-credit for forestry and agriculture, agricultural land, inflation and population growth on the forestry and agricultural growth in Vietnam. The study extracted secondary data from secondary sources such as World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1991 to 2022. The study also applied the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (DARDL) model to check the linkages among understudy constructs. The results exposed that women's employment in forestry and agriculture, micro-credit for forestry and agriculture, agricultural land, inflation and population growth have a positive association with forestry and agricultural growth in Vietnam. The study guides the policymakers to achieve high growth in forestry and agriculture and must focus on women's access to forestry and the extensive flow of micro-credit for forestry business.
