This paper aimed to examine and compare the value systems of youth from the ethnic minority and majority groups in the South of Vietnam. Rokeach’ value theory and value system survey (Rokeach Value Survey – RVS) are employed to investigate these value systems. Research samples were conveniently selected from a total of 102 students (60.6% females) in a youth ethnic minority vocational college and two public universities. The findings were consistent with the previous studies conducted in Vietnam and other developed countries. Results indicated that terminal values of students from both groups tended to have more emphasis on personal and political values that reflected the concern of psychological stability and independence. Youth from minority groups showed less tendency toward a relational and social orientation, whereas youth from ethnic majority group displayed a less concern on values related to hedonistic and individualistic values.
