3 1. Introduction  Since Doi Moi officially introduced in Vietnam in 1986, the country has been making significant achievements in socio-economic development and poverty alleviations.  Attention has also been paid by the Party and the State to reduce poverty.  With 70% of the population living in rural areas, poverty and disparities remain a great challenge.  Disparities between rural and urban areas is on the rise, making poverty gaps more critical.

4 Remarkable progress  Rising incomes, growing affluence and rapid reductions in poverty  Poverty has fallen from 58% (1993) to 14.5% (2008) to under 10% (2010)

5 Introduction (cont’)  There remain considerable debates on rural-urban poverty issues. In one side, some suggests that it is necessary to focus on rural poverty and poverty remains a predominant problem (Molisa, 2011). On the other side, some claims that rural and urban poverty cannot be addressed separately (IOS, 2011, 2012)  To some extent, both sides are right. Actually, rural-urban poverty are closely linked, requiring a greater understanding about the poor's livelihood and their spatial mobility (migration)  Although rural-urban linkages have been recognized, a realization that these linkages exist has not made its way into the redefinition of poverty – which remain unlinked and even conflicting in Vietnam’s planning and policy.

6 2. Study Objectives  The main objective of this paper is to find out the knowledge gaps and emerging issues regarding rural-urban poverty and migration  The paper sought to identify the linkages and integration of rural-urban poverty and its implications for social protection policies in Vietnam.  Help develop a dialogue to ensure a better integration between national sectoral policies and local initiatives provided by rural-urban linkages.

7 3. RESULTS AND FINDINGS

8 THE URBAN POOR  Small households with one or two members.  Lower education and low skilled jobs are more associated with poor households  Recent migrants (without ho khau) are more likely to be poor  Much lower income and consumption than the non-poor (On average, income of the non-poor is ten fold that of the poor)

9 THE URBAN POOR (con’t)  Lack of access to basic social services in urban areas (housing, water supplies, sanitation, employment)  Vulnerability to poverty remains high (health shocks, employment shocks, high inflation)  Insufficient access to information and administration

10 Migration and Rural-urban linkages  The migration of people, and its consequences for livelihoods, constitutes one of the major linkages between the rural and urban areas.  Other linkages include: rural-to-urban flows of goods and services, and visa versa; information on employment opportunities, land, property and financial flows including remittances and investment

11  Rapid urbanisation, investment and labour market development.  Most rural households have members working and living elsewhere.  Migrants find work in the urban informal sector where incomes are lower than the formal sector but several times greater than traditional agriculture  Households allocate labour over dispersed locations to pool incomes, reduce poverty as well as accumulate remittances Rural-Urban Migration

12 Migration Patterns  With urbanization and changing employment patterns, migration and mobility are increasingly important.  Temporary and circular migration become an increasingly common strategy to diversify rural household incomes.  Holding lands in home places, maintain ties & connections  Hard work, high savings, low consumption and reducing demand to support family and relatives.

13 Gender, Migration and Poverty  Around one-third of rural migrants are women, who tend to be younger than their male counterparts.  Women migrate to work in urban centers as domestic helpers, street vendors, small business  Aspiration of young women migrants to get married and change life.

14  Migration is an essential component of rural livelihoods  A cash injection into local economies  Higher income, lower poverty, non-farming diversifications  Lift rural households out of poverty, promoting rural development MIGRATION AND POVERTY REDUCTION

15 What if there were no opportunity to migrate?  Farmers would be dependent on low productivity agriculture  Growing impoverished population with no diversification opportunities  increasing poverty  Laborers routinely sell (labour) cheaply and buy services expensively and remain poor  Limited upward mobility  social unrest and turmoils

16 Lack of Services and Social Protection  Overcrowded and polluted living environment, often in a dormitory or poorly-conditioned houses  Inequity in access to tap water and sanitation: low investment, poor management, poor infrastructure, higher price of electricity.  Women more vulnerable to exploitation and health risks, poor working and living conditions  Potential urban poor in destinations

17 Constraints and Barriers  Current laws and policies focus on international labour export and economic growth, but not on internal migration  Certain policy constrains livelihood of urban poor such as ban of street vendors  Lack of policy understanding on the contribution of internal migration to poverty reduction, both at macro and micro levels  Despite high costs increasing rural-to-urban migration

18 4. SUMMARY  RUPL is an integral part of poverty reduction strategy  Poverty is dynamic and complex in geographic locations  Rural poor: needs to secure land, non-farming jobs and urban/export markets  Urban poor: needs for safe water, sanitation, jobs, income and shelter security  Rural-urban migration seen more as a problem to be addressed rather than a contribution to development

19 Gaps in Rural-Urban Linkages  Inadequate approach on policy development in rural-urban linkages  Projects/programs either rural or urban poverty orientation, rarely combining two aspects.  Poverty is a high priority in current policies and programs, but the poor is considered a problem not a part of solution.  Need to look at poverty in different dimensions rather than low income or food expenditure.

20 Migration Gaps  Migration as RUL is not well perceived. Strategies and policies are currently migration-blind  Greater efforts should be made to ensure that national strategy for poverty reduction include migration factor and address the needs of migrant poor  The current system of migration is not cheap and unsafe which makes it high costs and risk to migrate, especially for the poor  lower the costs of migration by effective support, remove barriers and social protection

21 Policy Approaches The needs to move to a more comprehensive livelihoods approach, recognizing multi-locational livelihoods recognition of the rural-urban linakges in local and national development the importance of migration in poverty reduction  social support and social protection
