Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 05
Abstract
Women play a significant role in Vietnam’s development, particularly in agriculture. They have greatly contributed to rural economic growth and are actively engaged in agricultural production. Historically, women have managed the majority of agricultural output at the community level. However, their contributions have not received official recognition. This research aims to explore the potential causes of sex inequality in agriculture, examine the contributions of women, and highlight their involvement in agricultural activities in Don Duong District, Vietnam. Assessing women's roles is crucial to understanding the gender imbalance in agriculture at the local level and to investigate factors such as the influence of feudal ideologies that value men over women, gender discrimination, and societal awareness of gender equality. This study seeks to identify the causes of sex inequality in Don Duong District and assess its economic impact on the province. A qualitative approach was used, focusing on one-on-one interviews with selected women in the district. The findings revealed that women are the primary workforce in agriculture, spending more time on farms and earning more income than men. However, they face challenges in decision-making and land ownership due to traditional barriers, including cultural preference for men and persistent gender inequalities. Through this study, women in agriculture had the opportunity to express their concerns about sex inequality and offer input on strategies that could effectively address this issue and help them gain more recognition in society.
