This study aims to examine the effects of higher education on self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 553 Vietnamese students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employed the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between higher education, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chisquare and Cramer's V tests are implemented to indicate the difference of higher education on entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between higher education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control also had positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-Square and Cramer's V test report that there was a strong evidence of higher education in entrepreneurial intention but there were no differences in self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.

In recent years, along with the development trend of the Gig economy, app-based ride-hailing in Vietnam has been growing rapidly, especially in large cities. Related service activities such as passenger transportation, delivery of goods, food, payment, etc. have been expanding rapidly due to their convenience and specialization, which help save time and costs. App-based ride-hailing activities are becoming increasingly competitive with the participation of many major companies such as Grab, Gojek, Be, etc. with various policies and support to dominate the market share. The development of app-based ride-hailing is an inevitable trend as it creates a professionalization of the labor market, optimizing time, cost, and convenience for society. However, there are still some issues that need to be researched and improved for sustainable development of this field such as insurance policies, labor union activities, etc. for the participants.
