Abstract

At present, although the migration issue of a part of the Mong (H’mong or Hmong) ethnic is not as massive and lasting as about 10 years ago, it is still complicated; especially, the free and unplanned migration into the Central Highlands, the Southeast region and to some other countries in Southeast Asia. Some studies have pointed out the fundamental causes of the Mong’s free migration, such as:1. The economic, cultural and social life of a part of the Mong has many difficulties; 2. the impact of some Mong’s customs, the impact, agitation and enticement of some bad objects; the limitations and weaknesses of the political system at the grassroots level in implementing policies on economic and social development and the residential management in the area;... The uncontrolled, illegal and unplanned migration situation has negatively impacted on the effectiveness of population and society management, social and economic development in both places of emigration and immigration, which makes the migrants’ life more difficult and causes serious consequences for the econogical environment and even gives a rise to conflicting disputes and conflicts with local people... In order to minimize the free and unplanned migration of a part of Mong and negative impacts caused by the above situation, the research projects have given scientific arguments to serve as a basis for building and implementing solutions to solve the above issue.
