Abstract

Vietnam is on the rapid urbanization process and wide employment changes nationwide which leads to the impacts to the inter-regional migrations, especially the rural-urban flows. Recent research and papers on social policy and current trends on migration also found that the migration makes social changes and problems in the urban life and for the migrants as well. This paper aims at identifying the inclusive process of migrants in the contemporary urban life through their daily experiences, in both living and working settings. The experience of migrants is being observed in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The initial findings expose that the inclusive trend by migrants in Ho Chi Minh City seems more positive than that in Hanoi on both sides of the migrants and the social contexts. However, in the two big cities, there is still alack of specific inclusive supports for the migrants.
