Abstract

This study has shed light on the status of rural household resources of livelihoods in Hoang Su Phi district, Ha Giang province. The livelihoods the hallmarks of small-scale production, associated with markedly low productivity. Nevertheless, due to their newly increasing awareness of the sense of community and the role of unions in the village, they have been progressively participating in organisations and expanding social relationships. Additionally, this study has measured the sustainability of livelihoods applying the index method against five groups of criteria and the results show that the livelihoods in Hoang Su Phi district are not sustainable with the lowest being the human capital criterion. Given the acquired insights, five solutions for effective use of capitals, including improving the human resources quality, supporting the employment, increasing the credit of households and enhancing the infrastructure have been drawn.
