Vietnam’s New Middle Classes
Gender, Career, City
Explores the social consequences of macro-economic reform introduced in Vietnam more than a quarter of a century ago through a focus on young women graduates who hope to find success in Ho Chi Minh City’s growing graduate labour market. More than a study of Vietnam’s new middle class, the book also highlights the important social role of remittances sent back to rural kinfolk and concludes with a wide-ranging look at the emergence of middle classes in Pacific Asia.
