ABSTRACT Drawing on the narratives of women and men who have domestic or international migration experiences, this study explores the gendered impacts of migration on small-scale farming in rural Ha Tinh province in Vietnam. The paper investigates men’s and women’s migration experiences, their influence on agricultural production, and impact on their livelihoods after migration. The findings show that households use various strategies to sustain agricultural production in the absence of some members. Women’s increased economic independence through labor migration has not necessarily lead to their increased management roles in agriculture, but they are increasingly challenging stereotypical images of rural women. While migration can be a catalyst for men to transform their livelihoods, it can also widen gaps in social and economic statuses among men.

性别、劳动力迁移和越南中北部沿海小规模农业的变化

摘要 本研究利用有国内或国际移民经历的女性和男性的叙述，探讨了移民对越南河静省农村小规模农业的性别影响。该论文调查了男性和女性的迁移经历、他们对农业生产的影响以及迁移后对其生计的影响。调查结果表明，在一些成员缺席的情况下，家庭使用各种策略来维持农业生产。妇女通过劳务移民获得的经济独立性的提高并不一定会导致她们在农业中的管理角色增加，但她们正在越来越多地挑战农村妇女的刻板印象。虽然移民可以成为男性改变生计的催化剂，
