National economic structure is defined as the composition and patterns of various components of the national economy such as: production, value added, consumption, gross capital formation, export, import and gross value added. Structural change is conceptualized as the change in relative importance of the aggregate indicators of the economy. It implies that changes of intra-sectoral and inter-sectoral lead to changes in final demand, output, value added and import. This paper seeks to answer some questions: 1) What would be the impact on the power of dispersion and the sensitivity of dispersion by sectors? 2) What would be the impact on value added induced by final demand? and 3) How would the final demand impact the level of import? The main finding in this study is to find a sectoral structure and a factor of the final demand for Vietnam’s development.
