This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid economic changes after 'Doi Moi' (the socio-economic reforms), increasing urban migration, and reform in health sector raise several questions for social policies. This study explores health status, the use of health services, and their determinants for different groups of migrants in comparison to non-migrants in urban areas of Vietnam. The results show that, all things being equal, migrants have inferior health profile and less favorable health utilization behaviors than non-migrants. Common perceptions that migrants are extremely healthy and that migration has healthy effects are in fact due to the selectivity of migrants. There is evidence that migrants' health deteriorates faster than that of non-migrants. Furthermore, migration has a strong effect on health and the use of health services independent of the effects of socioeconomic status. The current literature that focuses on rich-poor disparities has neglected migrants because they have a higher average income than non-migrants. Great heterogeneity among urban migrants and evidence of the 'urban penalty' are also observed.

Download or read book Rural-Urban Migration in Vietnam written by Amy Y. C. Liu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of rural-urban migration in Vietnam. It addresses a wide range of important topics, including Vietnam’s household registration system (ho khau), migration trends, remittance behaviour and social networking. In addition, it examines migrants’ earnings, their children’s schooling, housing issues and their families’ consumption behaviour in their destination cities. The book is mainly based on new data from the Australian National University's ‘Study of Rural-Urban Migration in Vietnam with Insights from China and Indonesia’ (VRUM) project, which identifies migrants from the large-scale, representative ‘Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey’ 2012 (VHLSS2012). In addition to the data from the VRUM project, the book draws on other widely used data sources to provide a comprehensive picture of rural-urban migrants in Vietnam. By highlighting the issues and challenges brought about by the large-scale rural-urban migration in Vietnam, the book helps researchers and policymakers more effectively formulate policies to respond to those challenges. Moreover, Vietnam’s experience can serve as lessons learnt to other transitional/developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using INDEPTH's multi-site network to provide new demographic insights into population variables, this book provides a new perspective on migration, health and livelihood's interaction over time. The book starts with providing a conceptual and methodological framework to inform the epidemiological studies that are clustered into two themes, showing the dynamics of migration with either household livelihoods or individual health outcomes. The findings demonstrate the important cross-national regularities in human migration. The contributed chapters also exemplify the fact that the impacts of migration can be either positive or negative for sending and/or receiving communities, depending on the issues at hand and the type of migration under consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all developing countries are plagued by the problem of peasants crowding into cities in search of a better life. For scholars of and visitors to Vietnam, it is increasingly clear that the problem has also arrived in this recently freed socialist economy. Is it going to get worse before it gets better? What is the official response to the social disruptions and friction it causes? This ISEAS study completed at the end of 1993 is one of a few early surveys of this urban drift, and provides empirical data on the spontaneous migration to Hanoi from its rural environs. It also draws on a vast corpus of journalistic and academic literature in Vietnamese as well as government documents and decrees. The final work provides a picture of the migration pattern, the lifestyle of migrants in the city, the institutional changes that have been energized by this movement, and its many political and socioeconomic implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the operational environment for social organizations working to address the challenges facing Ho Chi Minh City's increasing migrant population. After Vietnam introduced sweeping economic reforms in 1986, the country began to experience rapid industrialization and urbanization. Ho Chi Minh City has since emerged as the country's financial hub, and it finds itself at the epicenter of a significant population shift and the destination of a large number of migrants seeking economic opportunity. This thesis seeks to uncover the difficulties that arise from Vietnam's urban migration by exploring the challenges facing the migrant community in Ho Chi Minh City. It further analyzes how migrant needs may or may not be addressed by existing social organizations. Given Ho Chi Minh City's unique political environment, how does this highly regulated environment influence the social activities of local non-profit organizations and how do such organizations adapt to these challenges in order to meet the needs of migrant workers? This research clarifies the inequalities that emerge from urban migration and the importance of social organizations to address the pressing needs that arise from these shifting dynamics. This thesis suggests that Vietnam's unique operational environment presents added challenges to addressing these issues. In light of global migration and urbanization trends, Vietnam still has far to go in its development, and how the state chooses to interact with these organizations may determine the success of its progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Since 2008, more than half of the world's population now live an urban area. The consequences of this are strains on existing resources such as access to healthcare, housing and infrastructure. Therefore, access to data at the urban level is important for those involved in policy making in order to assess and address these issues. This is especially important for developing countries where resources are already limited without the added strain of urbanisation. This PhD study is nested within the EURO-URHIS 2 project, a DG Research, FP7 Programme project which is collecting data on a series of indicators deemed to be important to urban health. The first part of this PhD study investigates whether the EURO-URHIS 2 data collection tools designed for use in Europe can be replicated in Vietnam. During a preliminary fieldwork trip to Vietnam it was found that it would not be possible to obtain permission to interview policy makers or the urban population of Ho Chi Minh City within the study time frame. Therefore, the second part of this PhD study is to explore the use of existing data sources, functions and activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Vietnam. Methods: The EURO-URHIS 2 existing data survey was used to collect country and urban area level data from Vietnam. The data for the NGO study was collected using an online questionnaire hosted on a server by the University of Manchester. Results: The study found that it was possible to use the EURO-URHIS 2 existing data tool to collect a range of health indicator data at the country and urban level in Vietnam. The online study determined the role of international NGOs working in Vietnam and barriers to using existing sources of information. The study also found low levels of NGO engagement with other NGOs, policy makers, local authorities and Vietnamese government organisations. Conclusions: The successful implementation of EURO-URHIS 2 existing data survey allowed the examination of the potential health implications of urbanisation in Vietnam. The NGO study identified key areas where international NGOs in Vietnam were active, barriers to using existing sources of data and NGO relationships with other actors. The study also suggested opportunities for further NGO engagement.

Download or read book Protecting Health from Climate Change written by Kristie L. Ebi and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now strong evidence that the earth's climate is changing rapidly, due mainly to human activities. Increasing temperatures, sea-level rises, changes in precipitation patterns and extreme events are expected to increase a range of health risks, from the direct effects of heat-waves, floods and storms, to more suitable conditions for the transmission of important infectious diseases, to impacts on the natural systems and socioeconomic sectors that ultimately underpin human health. Much of the potential health impact of climate change can, however, be avoided through a combination of strengthening key health system functions and improved management of the risks presented by a changing climate. The critical first step in this process is to carry out a vulnerability and adaptation assessment. This allows countries to assess which populations are most vulnerable to different kinds of health effects, to identify weaknesses in the systems that should protect them, and to specify interventions to respond. Assessments can also improve evidence and understanding of the linkages between climate and health within the assessment area, serve as a baseline analysis against which changes in disease risk and protective measures can be monitored, provide the opportunity for building capacity, and strengthen the case for investment in health protection. WHO has responded to this global demand by building on past guidance and technical tools to outline a flexible process for vulnerability and adaptation assessment. In 2009, the WHO Regional Office for the Americas and WHO prepared draft guidance for this process, which was pilot-tested in studies across all WHO Regions. In July 2010, representatives of ministries of health from 15 countries came together in Costa Rica with WHO and subject area experts to share their experiences and provide feedback on how to improve the guidance for the conduct of vulnerability assessments. This document is the result of this process. It is intended not as a final, definitive guide but as an important part of an evolving set of resources that will support effective and evidence-based action to protect health from climate change.

Download or read book Migration and Mental Health written by Dinesh Bhugra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human migration is a global phenomenon and is on the increase. It occurs as a result of 'push' factors (asylum, natural disaster), or as a result of 'pull' factors (seeking economic or educational improvement). Whatever the cause of the relocation, the outcome requires individuals to adjust to their new surroundings and cope with the stresses involved, and as a result, there is considerable potential for disruption to mental health. This volume explores all aspects of migration, on all scales, and its effect on mental health. It covers migration in the widest sense and does not limit itself to refugee studies. It covers issues specific to the elderly and the young, as well as providing practical tips for clinicians on how to improve their own cultural competence in the work setting. The book will be of interest to all mental health professionals and those involved in establishing health and social policy.
