Are Vietnamese farmers concerned with their relative position in society?
研究了越南农村家庭对相对地位的态度,发现平均而言偏好较弱,可能源于对平等的重视和社区评价的在意,且家庭成员若为人民委员会成员则更关心相对地位。
Abstract This paper examines the attitude towards relative position or status among rural households in Vietnam. On average, respondents show rather weak preferences for relative position. Possible explanations are the emphasis on the importance of equality and that villagers are very concerned with how the local community perceives their actions. We also investigate what influences the concern for relative position and find, among other things, that if anyone from the household is a member of the Peoples Committee then the respondent is more concerned with the relative position.
