10. Summary of thesis results:
The topic "Job transition of suburban residents after agricultural land reclamation in Kien Hung ward, Ha Dong district, Hanoi" has pointed out the model of job transition of people after agricultural land reclamation. Through surveying the practical situation in the locality and approaching theories on social change, choosing appropriate behavior, the thesis has pointed out the current situation of job transition of suburban residents after agricultural land reclamation and analyzed the factors affecting the job transition process of people. Thereby, providing an overview of the problem of job transition of people, proposing solutions to overcome the limitations of the urbanization and industrialization process in the issue of people's employment, creating sustainable socio-economic development in suburban rural areas.
After the recovery of agricultural land, the occupational structure of suburban residents has changed dramatically. The change has taken place in the direction of a sharp decrease in agricultural employment, a rapid increase in non-agricultural employment, and occupational diversification. However, the jobs they switch to are often simple, temporary, seasonal, and do not require much education, expertise, or skills, such as business, small trade, and daily labor. The workplaces of these jobs are often in the locality or the city center, especially since no one migrates to other provinces to do business. They have taken advantage of the benefits that arise after land recovery, such as compensation, and the development of local service needs. This is the difference between suburban areas and other rural areas far from the center.
The change in the occupational structure of the people has led to a diversity in the structure of income sources. Income from non-agricultural occupations has increased significantly. However, the income from these jobs is often precarious, unstable and lower than that from agriculture, although the income from agriculture is not high. That makes the current living standards of the people decrease compared to before the recovery of agricultural land.
After having their agricultural land - the main means of production - reclaimed, people often encounter many difficulties in changing jobs. Each person must change by themselves while the support of organizations and individuals is very little. That process is strongly influenced by factors related to the demographic characteristics of each worker such as gender, age, education level, social capital and objective factors such as support from local authorities. Specifically, women have less opportunities to find jobs outside of society than men. The older they are and the lower their education level, the more difficult it is to change to non-agricultural jobs, especially jobs that require professional and technical skills. People with a lot of social capital and who know how to take advantage of that social capital often find it easier to change to new jobs.
The support of local authorities for people's job transition is not effective in both quantity and quality. That support only stops at vocational training without connecting to find output for those who receive vocational training.
Thus, the study has provided us with a better understanding of the current situation of job transition of people after their agricultural land is recovered. Job transition of people still faces many difficulties and has many shortcomings. Therefore, we need to have practical and synchronous solutions to help people have a stable job to ensure a sustainable life.
11. Practical applicability: The topic has pointed out the job conversion model of people after land acquisition, the difficulties and advantages that people encounter in the conversion process. Thereby, conclusions and recommendations are drawn to help leaders at all levels have the most effective and practical solutions to ensure sustainable livelihoods for people after agricultural land acquisition.

10. Summary of the thesis results:
The thesis " Job changing among suburban population after agricultural land recovered in Kien Hung ward, Ha Dong district, Hanoi " has shown patterns of job changes when agricultural land recovered. Through surveys on the situation at the local area and theoretical approaches on social changes, rational choice behavior, the thesis has pointed out the reality of the job changes after the recovery of agricultural land and analyzed the factors affecting employment transition of people, thus, providing an overview of the problem regarding people's jobs, offering solutions to overcome the limitations of the urbanization, industrialization process related to employment, creating sustainable economic and social development for suburban fringe.
After recovery of agricultural land, the occupation structure of suburban residents experience strong variation. The transformation takes place in the direction of employment in decreasing agriculture, non-agricultural employment increasing with profession diversification. However, the job that people often convert to are simply temporary, seasonal and requires little education, qualifications, skills such as small trade, daily hire... Location of the jobs are often at local area or in city center, especially, there is no single migration to other provinces for business. They took advantage of the arising after the recovery of land such as compensation money, the demand for local services development ... This is the difference between the suburban areas to other outlying rural areas.
The change in the occupational structure of the population has led to the diversity of revenue sources structure. Income from non-agricultural sectors has increased significantly. However, the income from these jobs are often precarious, unstable and generating lower income than that from farming although income from agriculture is not as high. That makes the living standards of the people reduced compared with before recovery of land agricultural.
After withdrawal of agricultural land - the main means of production, people often encounter many difficulties in the matter of work conversion. They themselves have to manually switch while the support of organizations and individuals is very limited. That process is strongly influenced by elements of the demographic characteristics of each employee such as gender, age, educational level, social capital and external factors such as the support of local government. specifically, women have little chance to seek external occupation opportunities than men, older people, people with lower levels of educationfind it more difficult to switch to non-agricultural employment, especially jobs require a high level of expertise and techniques. Those with more social capital and can take advantage of their social capital can convert to the newer job more easily.
The support of local government for people's job transformation is not efficient in terms of both quantity and quality. The support is mainly about vocational training, but not output for trained people.
Thus, the study gave us a better understanding of the status of the job changes after agricultural land recovery. This issue still faces many difficulties and dangers. Therefore, we need practical solutions and synchronization to help people have a stable job to ensure sustainable living.
11. Applicability in Practice: The thesis has shown the model of peoples' job transformation after land acquisition, difficulties and benefits that people face in transition. Thereby, making conclusions and recommendations to help leaders have the most effective and practical solutions to ensure sustainable livelihoods for people after withdrawal of agricultural land.
