Abstract

Studies on natural disasters and climate change show that men and women are affected in different ways, and they also have different response capabilities based on their knowledge, resources and social position by each culture. Qualitative research results in Kinh and Khmer communities in Tra Vinh province, whose main livelihood is agricultural production, reveal that there are both similar and different understandings between men and women about extreme drought and saltwater intrusion in the area. The reason for the difference is mainly due to gender stereotypes in the division of family labor.
