Employment of Environmental Migrants: A Case Study of Bao Hieu Commune, Yen Thuy District, Hoa Binh Province

Tóm tắt

Climate change has had huge impact on people’s daily lives in many parts of Vietnam, including some districts of Hoa Binh province. Against this background, resettlement policy has been implemented to reduce impacts and damages caused by natural disasters to people. These resettlement programs, while designed to protect people’s lives, pose a challenge of job creation to the resettled people in new residential areas. This paper investigates the employment situation of environmental migrants in Hoa Binh province with a case study of Bao Hieu commune, Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province and discusses some policy issues on accessibility to stable and sustainable jobs.
