“…Studies by Zhao, Yu, Wang & Glauben (2014) show that parental migration for employment has negative influences on children's learning, for example, their academic performance is reduced [1], or their learning process is interrupted as found by Zhaobao Jia & Tian (2010) [2], or children find difficulty in communicating with their teachers and friends in studies by Luo, Gao & Zhang (2011) [3].

Background: In Asia, especially in China and ASEAN, it has been an obvious trend that the population in general and parents in particular leave the countryside to bigger cities or more developed countries for employment opportunities. Many migrant workers are forced to leave their children at home with caregivers, particularly in families with both husband and wife working away from home. Studies worldwide have showed that, besides positive economic and social impacts, labor migrant parents also cause negative effects to the well-being of those they leave behind, especially children. However, this study orientation has not generated significant interest in Vietnam. Participants: This paper indicates the results of a survey on 469 left-behind children of labor migrant parents in rural areas by comparing them with a control group of 650 children living with their parents in three rural areas of North Vietnam including Phu Tho, Bac Ninh and Ha Nam provinces. Besides, we also survey 363 caregivers (parent or grandfather/grandmother of left-behind children) about psychological well-being of left-behind children. Method: Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used for this study. SDQ was Vietnamized by author Dang Hoang Minh et al. (2013) and adaptable to Vietnamese teenagers. Results: As reported by the surveyed children, the SDQ mean total difficulties score of those having migrant parents was 12.55 (SD = 5.96) and 18.9% of these children had scores higher than the cut-off score. As rated by caregivers, they were 11.12 (SD = 5.14) and 15.1%, respectively. There is a statistically significant difference in mental health between the LBC and non-LBC group. The general trend is that the LBC reported to have higher scores of total difficulties and specific expressions including hyperactivity/inattention, emotional symptoms, peer relationship problems, conduct problems than that of non-LBC.

“…Pode-se deduzir, portanto, que os achados aqui encontrados eventualmente estão relacionados ao fato das crianças possuírem baixa renda econômica e estudarem em escolas públicas, em uma região com Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) menor em relação a outras localidades do país, onde o escore global de QV foi melhor nos indivíduos estudados. Estudos que avaliaram essa relação perceberam que quanto menor a renda econômica da família, menores são os escores de qualidade de vida (2,(15)(16) . Corrobora o fato, a comparação do IDH de Jequié-BA (município de realização desta pesquisa) com o de São Paulo (município de realização de alguns estudos supracitados) no ano de 2010.…”
