| Summary: | In this paper, I present research results related to aspects of the social life of young
migrant manual workers at small workshops in HCMC. Social networks, social relations,
living and working conditions, income and access to urban social services are explored
and analyzed. My point is that the social life of the workers is established from their
relationship with the workshops’ owners and their co-workers at their workplaces and
living spheres which are “emotional,” “kindred,” “ethnic,” and “local.” Accordingly,
the workshops are conceived as “industrially economic households” and “sub-cultures”
which are abundant in the context of urbanization in Hochiminh City. |
