Work and Family Life among Migrant Factory Workers in China and Vietnam

ABSTRACT

Through on-site interviewing, a comparative study has been carried out about migrant factory workers in industrialised parts of China’s Guangdong province and in Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City. Even though China and Vietnam possess similar legacies of socialist transformation and have household registration regulations that restrict rural migrants’ access to urban social services and impede their settlement in cities, there exist marked differences in Guangdong and Ho Chi Minh City in migration patterns, factory work conditions and migrant worker family livelihoods. In particular, migrant families in Ho Chi Minh City largely stay intact and tend to settle there permanently, while married migrant workers in Guangdong normally need to split up their families and remain trapped in circular rural–urban migration. As shall be seen, the national and local governments play important roles in determining the inclusion or exclusion of migrants from urban life, the wages they are paid and their standard of living and, most important of all, their children’s access to education. Each of the two countries’ differences in implementing policies is examined and comparatively analysed.     

零工经济中个体就业动机探析 ——以北京市外卖骑手为例

随着数字技术的发展和人们生活、用餐习惯的改变，数字经济中的餐饮行业获得了较快发展，为劳动者创造了大量的就业机会。本研究基于外卖平台骑手的数据探讨数字零工经济下个体的就业动机。研究发现：大多数外卖骑手表面上是为了追求工作灵活性、经济收益和扩大社交网络而主动选择零工就业，但实际上，他们并没有在平台真正实现这三方面的诉求。劳动力市场结构转变让他们为了谋求生存而被动“挤入”,而非主动选择进入零工就业中。因此，针对劳动密集型平台就业群体，需要深入分析其选择零工就业的真正原因，才能在对其帮扶的政策制定和执行中，实现“对症下药”和“精准帮扶”。     

基于马克思劳动幸福理论的“劳动幸福问卷”设计及其信效度检验

劳动幸福是一种客观状态，对劳动幸福观测维度的测量有助于有针对性地提高劳动幸福程度。劳动幸福可以从四个观测维度进行测量，分别是劳动发展维度、劳动解放维度、劳动尊严维度以及劳动基础条件维度。这四个维度相互联系、互为因果，共同促进劳动幸福程度的提高。根据这样的理论建构，研究设计了"劳动幸福问卷”,对来自全国的样本进行了网络在线调查。分析结果显示，劳动幸福四维度之间具有正相关关系，符合本研究的理论建构。这说明“劳动幸福问卷”在总体上是可用的，是一个可靠和可信的研究工具。     

Sudden death in a neonate as a result of herpes simplex infection

This paper describes a case of a neonate with disseminated herpes simplex born to a 14-year-old asymptomatic mother. The infant's physical examination was normal at birth, and subsequent abnormalities were so subtle that infection was not recognized during life. Postmortem cultures of liver and spleen grew herpes simplex virus, and immunofluorescent direct antibody typing revealed Type 2. A cervical culture of the mother obtained after the infant's death was negative.
