Tin tức mới nhất về: Sustainable livelihoods

Abstract: This article analyzes the mobilization of ethnic cultural values as economic resources in Vietnam’s land border regions through a comparative study of two cases: the Hmong people in Then Pa village and the black Lo Lo people in Lo Lo Chai village, Lung Cu commune, Tuyen Quang province. Based on the theoretical framework of cultural capital and ethnographic methods, the study examines the various mechanisms by which cultural practices, knowledge, architecture, cuisine and social institutions are transformed into livelihood strategies. The research findings reveal diversity in the pathways of cultural capital transformation, while also highlighting the role of community organizations and community control in shaping sustainable economic development models.

(DTTG) - With ethnic minority groups including the Nung, Tay, Kinh, Dao, Hoa, San Chay and Mong accounting for approximately 83.91% of its population, Lang Son province regards the development of ethnic minority and mountainous areas as a task of strategic importance. Five years into the implementation of National Target Program 1719 (2021-2025), new roads, production models, livelihood initiatives and essential infrastructure are generating fresh momentum for residents in these highland regions to improve their lives. However, the greater challenge remains how to translate policy resources into sustainable livelihoods, stable incomes and the community’s capacity for self-development.
