This study investigates the living experiences of domestic workers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and the factors that lead women into such work. This study also attempts to understand of how both migration and urban domestic work change the women. Moreover, the study explores how the migrant women workers act as agents of social change in their home villages. Fifteen migrant domestic workers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam were recruited non-randomly using a snowball and purposive sampling technique to participate in this study. This study found that the decision to migrate results from a combination of many factors but that the economic factor plays the main role among all others. Furthermore, the results confirmed that domestic work is a gendered and migrant job. It was demonstrated that migrant domestic workers face many material and emotional difficulties in doing their work and still an "invisible" job in the public and government's view. This status places migrant domestic workers in a precarious and underprivileged "status." In addition, the results indicate that migration and urban domestic work enable migrant women to become agents of social change in the rural areas from which they come. Finally, the study noted the important role of fellow villagers and relatives in supporting and leading new migrants to urban areas. In doing so, they reinforced the sorting process which deepens gender segregation in domestic work.
