In positive reflection on the latter, systematic organisational

    Some Reflections of Ethnic Identity of Refugee Migrants from Burma to Thailand
    (2012-07) Ford, Nicholas; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social Research
    The main aim of this paper is to raise the question of the nature of the ethnic identities that we so often seem to take for granted when talking about the refugee migrants coming from Burma to Thailand. To do this, an introductory reference is made to the historical ‘ridge and furrow’ cultural structure of the region, and some implications this has for contemporary national integration projects within Southeast Asia. The theoretical core of the paper then revisits some concepts of ethnicity, with particular reference to the perspectives of ‘primordialism’ and ‘situationalism’. Literature relating these concepts is then outlined, noting their bearing upon the ‘ethnic’ political conflict in Burma. Finally the paper seeks to relate the fore-noted, apparently fixed nature of the ethnic identities of these migrants to the prospects for solutions to the twin crises of democratization and ethnic conflict in Burma.

    Do rural-urban migrants have higher fertility than urban non-migrants in Vietnam?

    Large scale rural-urban migration has coincided with an apparent slow-down in Vietnam’s fertility decline. During the period 1999-2004, rural fertility continued to decline slowly while the urban fertility decline stalled. Some the government officials are concerned that rural-urban migrants, particularly temporary migrants, may have been having out-of-plan births which are not allowed under the two-child population policy. This study examines the relationship between rural-urban migration and fertility in Vietnam. The analyses consider a question: Do rural-urban migrants have higher fertility than urban non-migrants? The study used data obtained from the Vietnam Migration Survey conduced in 2004. The analyses applied multinominal logistic regression models to compare number of children aged 0-4 among various groups of migrants and non-migrations. The analyses found significantly lower fertility among migrants compared to non-migrants. Migrants appear to delay their fertility partly because of adaptation to the urban norm of lower fertility, but mainly because of household registration effects. The results suggest that increased rural-urban migration is not stalling the urban fertility decline as well as slowing down the national fertility decline. Rural-urban migration is likely to have a negative relationship with fertility.
