“…Whereas "urbanites" traditionally produced their own vegetables, this development necessitated new ways of food appropriation. Urbanization and socio-economic development resulted in dispersed family ties and a decrease in kinship interdependence (Bich 1999;Hirschman and Vu 1996;Knodel et al 1998;Schwenkel and Leshkowich 2012). This development opened up the way for more individualistic household decision-making.…”

“…The increasing out-of-home labor emancipation of women and the aspiration of modern shopping outlets with regard to urban lifestyles have resulted in the increased participation of men in household chores. Where traditionally, women were the informal managers of households in which household tasks, including daily food shopping, were looked down upon (Hirschman and Vu 1996), the increasing involvement of men in food shopping is observed. Only around 5 % of practitioners in the practice of daily food shopping at markets are male, while the share of male practitioners in supermarket shopping amounts to nearly 30 % (WertheimHeck et al 2012).…”

This paper offers a historical analysis of contemporary practices of shopping for vegetables in the highly dynamic context of urban Hanoi during the period from 1975 to 2014. Focusing on everyday shopping practices from a food safety perspective, we assess the extent to which the policy-enforced process of supermarketization has proven to be an engine of change in daily vegetable purchasing while improving food safety. In depicting transitions in shopping practices, we combine a social practices approach with historical analysis. Providing a historical analysis of a broad and complex spectrum of everyday practices of purchasing fresh vegetables, we identify the key drivers of change. We discuss different modalities of shopping and demonstrate that no single retail modernization format can be said to exist. Rather than contrasting an idealized supermarket model with the traditional modalities of food shopping, we offer a varied, more diverse set of shopping practices that displays different strategies for coping with food safety issues. When discussed from a historical perspective, food practices are shown to be highly dynamic, being constantly reinvented and reconfigured by consumers who use their established skills, routines, and social networks to sometimes resist top-down enforced supermarketization while developing the coping strategies that best suit their local circumstances.

Marriage is the most common method of forming a family in Vietnam. Over two‐thirds of the population over the age of 15 is married, while the divorce rate is very low. Most families fall into the definition of the nuclear family, and the average number of people per family is 3.7. Empirical evidence has revealed the popularity of patrilocal residence patterns in Vietnam but matrilocal residence model also exists. Extended families and kinship networks still play a significant role in providing social and emotional supports to family members. The traditional pattern of domestic labor division, in which women have the higher burden, continues to dominate. This pattern influences parental socialization of children and the respective value placed on sons and daughters. Families in Vietnam in the twenty‐first century are still a source of caregiving for their members. However, pressures from modern life are creating significant challenges for how families function.
