通过研究移徙妇女与其留守丈夫之间的家庭性别关系，我们旨在了解性别如何影响农村-城市移徙，以及在红河三角洲市场驱动的农村转型背景下正在进行的谈判。在这项研究中，农村妇女与城市非正规劳动力市场建立联系，到城市从事废品收集和收购工作，从而确保了家庭的生存。女性移民动摇了传统的性别角色，因为留守的丈夫承担了社会生育工作，而妻子频繁的家访在一定程度上减轻了这种工作。此外，留守丈夫援引妇女的传统义务，继续感觉自己像男人，这突出表明了传统的性别规范对工作的适应力，即使在妻子不在的情况下，男人实际上承担了妇女的工作。本文认为，这种弹性的结构化代理的原则，建议演员可以积极再现性别的工作概念，以科普不断变化的空间安排的家庭生计战略所带来的政治经济压力和机会，在农村和城市越南的原则，更微妙的理解。（作者）
By examining household gender relations between migrant women and their left-behind husbands we aim to understand how gender shapes rural--urban migration and is being negotiated in the context of market-driven rural transformations in the Red River Delta. In this study rural women ensure the survival of their households as they link up with urban informal labour markets moving to the city to work as junk collectors and buyers. Female migration destabilises conventional gender roles as left-behind husbands take up social reproductive work that is partially relieved by wives frequent home visits. Additionally invoking womens traditional obligations left-behind husbands continue to feel like men underscoring the resilience of conventional gendered norms on work even where men actually take up womens work in their wives absence. The article argues for a more nuanced understanding of this resilience premised on the principles of structured agency suggesting that actors may actively reproduce gendered notions of work in order to cope with changing spatial arrangements of household livelihood strategies brought about by political economic pressures and opportunities in rural and urban Vietnam.
