Abstract

Conducted in three different regions, each bearing on different aspects of Vietnam’s development and analysing these realities from the standpoint of women and gender relations, the case studies illustrate the rapid social and economic changes since the beginning of ‘Doi Moi’ in the middle of the 1980s and the impact of these changes on the daily lives of Vietnamese people. Through extended urbanization, in which population and urban size rapidly increase, industrial and economic zones have become established as many joint-venture export-processing industrial zones have been built across the country.
