Gender, labor migration and changes in small-scale farming on Vietnam's north-central coast / Kawarazuka, Nozomi; Duong, Tuan Minh; Simelton, Elisabeth   Journal Article
Kawarazuka, Nozomi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/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.

Unfolding the mystery of reliance on traditional methods of birth control in Assam, India / Narzary, P K; Madhusudana, Battala; Susuman, Sathiya A   Journal Article
Narzary, P K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Reliance on traditional methods of birth control causes psychological tension in couples because the fear of unwanted pregnancy bars them from experiencing a healthy sexual life. However, in Assam, half of all contraceptive users depend on traditional methods of birth control. The current study used National Family Health Survey 2005–2006 data. Out of 3840 sample women in the age group 15–49 years, 1286 women are filtered for the present study. Most of the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of traditional method users fall between those of modern spacing method users and terminal method users. Thus, the burden of unwanted fertility is highest among the traditional method users.
