老挝是世界上最贫穷、最“农村”的国家之一。然而，有证据表明，随着中国被拉入更广泛的大陆东南亚地区，流动性水平有所提高。在支持和定义一些家庭和村庄的生计方面，流动性正变得越来越重要。本文回顾了老挝人口流动水平不断提高的证据，并借鉴更广泛地区的经验，反思了这对来源地社区在经济和社会方面的影响。这份文件强调了流动的含义对移民的意义的变化，因此对原籍村庄和那些“留守”的村庄也是如此。这篇论文提出，与其对移民及其影响寻找一成不变的观点，不如把重点放在14个已确定的问题或影响线上。版权所有(C)2006 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Laos is one of the poorest and most 'rural' countries in the world. Yet there is evidence of heightened levels of mobility as the country is drawn into the wider mainland southeast Asian region. Mobility is becoming increasingly important in supporting and defining livelihoods for some households and villages. The paper reviews the evidence for growing levels of mobility in Laos and, drawing on the experience of the wider region, reflects upon the implications of this for source communities in terms of economy and society. The paper highlights the shifting nature of the meaning of mobility for migrants and, therefore, for villages of origin and those 'left behind'. The paper proposes that rather than searching out hard-and-fast views of migration and its impacts, the focus should be on 14 identified questions or lines of influence.
