dc.description.abstract
The results showed that Vietnam’s socio-economic system has been significantly
changing in the last decade under the fundamental reform of development
patterns. With the transition from a centrally planned economy to a market
economy, Vietnamese families are changing, too. However, almost of Vietnamese
families implement their basic functions, namely: economic function,
reproductive function, educational function and function of taking care of
elderly people. Firstly, living standards in Vietnam have been considerably
increasing over the past few years. This is manifested through the increase in
households’ income and expenditure. Women are generally decision makers in
daily expenses in their families. As regards to other expenses, their husbands
play a significant role. Secondly, Vietnamese families follow rather strictly
the family planning policies stipulated by the Party and the state. As a
result, household size is small, birthrate decreases, and age at first
marriage is higher and higher. The proportion of couples using family planning
methods is relatively high and is likely to increase year after year.
Nonetheless, there remain some limitations related to the reproductive
function; that is, the increase of abortion rate. Thirdly, families play an
important role in forming and developing children’s personalities. The most
important people are father, mother, and then followed by other family members
such as grandparents and siblings, etc. Parents have various activities to
educate their children, get their children involved in socializing and the
educational content in families is also varied. Fourthly, the rate of elderly
people in Vietnam has risen in recent years. The State’s social security
system is incapable of taking care of elderly people; therefore, the
responsibility of looking after the elderly is taken by their families. Taking
care of the elderly at home is for children to pay gratitude towards their
parents.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich das sozio-ökonomische System Vietnams unter
der fundamentalen Reform von Entwicklungsmustern im vergangenen Jahrzehnt
wesentlich geändert hat. Mit dem Übergang von einer Planwirtschaft zu einer
Marktökonomie verändern sich auch die Familien. Jedoch vollziehen fast alle
vietnamesischen Familien ihre Grundfunktionen: ökonomische, reproduktive und
edukative Funktion sowie die Funktion des Sich Kümmerns um die ältere
Bevölkerung. Erstens, der Lebensstandard in Vietnam hat sich in den vergangen
Jahren erheblich verbessert. Dies manifestiert sich im höheren
Haushaltseinkommen und den dementsprechend höheren Haushaltausgaben. Frauen
sind für gewöhnlich die Entscheidungsträger hinsichtlich der täglichen
Ausgaben der Familien. Was die anderen Ausgaben betrifft, spielen die
Ehemänner eine beträchtliche Rolle. Zweitens, die vietnamesischen Familien
beachten die von Partei und Staat zur Auflage gemachte Verhütungspolitik eher
streng. Als Ergebnis ist die Haushaltsgröße klein, die Geburtenrate sinkt und
das Alter der ersten Hochzeit höher und höher. Der Anteil der Paare, die
Familienplanungsmethoden benutzen, ist relativ hoch und wird wahrscheinlich in
den nächsten Jahren steigen. Dennoch gibt es einige Einschränkungen bezüglich
der reproduktiven Funktion, nämlich den Anstieg der Abtreibungsrate. Drittens,
Familien spielen eine wichtige Rolle im Aufbau und der Entwicklung der
Persönlichkeiten von Kindern. Die wichtigsten Personen sind Vater, Mutter,
gefolgt von anderen Familienmitgliedern wie Großeltern, Geschwister und
andere. Eltern benutzen verschiedene Aktivitäten, um ihre Kinder zu erziehen
und es sind die Eltern, welche die Kinder gesellschaftsfähig machen.
Darüberhinaus variiert der Inhalt der Erziehung in Familien. Viertens, der
Prozentsatz der Senioren an der Gesamtbevölkerung Vietnams ist in den
vergangenen Jahren gestiegen. Das staatliche Sicherheitssystem ist nicht in
der Lage, die Versorgung älterer Menschen zu gewährleisten. Aus diesem Grund
liegt die Verantwortung, sich um die Älteren zu kümmern, bei ihren Familien.
Sich im eigenen Haushalt um die Älteren zu kümmern, bedeutet für die Kinder,
dass sie ihren Eltern Dankbarkeit erweisen.
