[INDENT][SIZE=5][B]The Tensions of Diasporic ‘Return’ Migration: How Class
and Money Create Distance in the Vietnamese Transnational Family[/B][/SIZE]

[COLOR="#000080"][B]Abstract[/B]
Propelled by the globalization of work opportunities in the Global South,
thousands of Viet Kieu (overseas Vietnamese) 1.5- and second-generation
migrants are “returning” to Vietnam to find skilled work. Through a global
ethnography in urban Ho Chi Minh City, this article illustrates how these
diasporic “returnees” negotiate their contentious relationship with their
nonmigrating, often poorer extended family. My research contributes to
the migrant gift giving and reciprocity literature by examining the many ways
that “return” migration can create tensions and ambiguity within existing
transnational family remittance relationships across borders. The increased
presence of diasporic “return” migrants also prompts scholars to reconsider
the durability of transnational family ties across the generations, as face-toface
encounters reveal how class, generation, age hierarchy, and gender can
create micro-level axes of difference and distancing.[/COLOR][/INDENT]

Thời buổi khó khăn đàn bà gửi kiều hối nhiều hơn đàn ông.
Trong bài chủ đề thớt có những đoạn viết về những xích mích giữa những ngưởi trong gia đ́nh chung quanh vấn đề kiều hối. Bài dưới đây phân tích một cách khá thú vị một khía cạnh xă hội. Bài đăng trên WSJ nghiên cứu cộng đồng dân nhập cư gốc Nam Mỹ. Những chi tiết tŕnh bày cho ta thấy cộng đồng người Việt cũng vậy thôi.

It found that migrant women surveyed in several major U.S. cities sent money to their home countries more frequently in 2013 than men did.
The U.S. leads the world as the biggest source of remittances, much of it sent by millions of Latin Americans. [B]The money is key to supporting families and a vital source of hard currency for developing countries, often dwarfing foreign direct investment and foreign aid[/B].
On average, women sent money to their country of origin 13 times last year, with each remittance averaging $207, according to the study, which surveyed 2,000 immigrants in five U.S. metropolitan areas.
Men sent money 12 times, at $229 a remittance. And while men sent remittances worth about the same amount and with the same frequency in 2013 as they did in 2009,[B] during the recession, women raised both the amount and frequency with which they sent money home over that period[/B], the study showed.
