abstract: 'This article is concerned with how far-reaching economic and ecological
changes are affecting the livelihoods of coastal households in Vietnam.
In particular, we are interested in the livelihood effects of two
aspects of this changing environment: (1) the transformation of the
fisheries sector, including declining stocks and species loss and the
rapid expansion of aquaculture, and (2) the broader structural change in
the Vietnamese economy, from household-based primary-sector activities
to wage and salary employment and self-employment outside the household.
Our analysis, based on a survey of 599 households in 12 coastal communes
in two provinces, shows considerable changes in livelihood patterns over
the decade covered by the survey. Over one-third of the responding
households reported a different primary earnings source in 2012 than in
2002. Fewer relied on aquaculture as their main livelihood activity in
the later year. While aquaculture, encouraged by official policy, has
assumed an increasingly dominant position in fish production in Vietnam
then, this is not necessarily a shift that has worked to the benefit of
households in the coastal communities we studied. For most, aquaculture
has not generated very high incomes so some are making it a less
important aspect of their livelihood portfolio, not dropping it
completely but shifting productive efforts to other livelihoods.
Meanwhile, economic growth and structural change have created new
opportunities for wage employment and self-employment for growing
numbers of households. However, human and financial capital are
necessary conditions for taking advantage of such opportunities arising
from Vietnam''s economic development, which raises concerns about growing
economic inequality in the country''s coastal communities. (C) 2016
