Abstract

Many migrants coming to cities seeking better employment opportunities either leave their children behind in the home village or have very little time to care for them due to long working hours. The impact of migration on the wellbeing of families and children remains complex. Previous evidence suggests the children of migrants are not adequately cared for, with potentially negative effects on education and health outcomes, while income from migrant work is essential to finance children’s education, nutrition and medical care. This chapter fills some of the gaps in our understanding of the relationship between mobility, employment and the wellbeing of children of migrants in Vietnam—in particular, their education—based on results from the Vietnam Rural–Urban Migration Survey 2013.
