    A survey conducted by Hương and Viên found that in typical Vietnamese homes, women generally do most of the cleaning and cooking, and many do not have outside jobs, instead focusing on housework and caring for the elderly. While things are changing slowly, with families in cities more likely to share housework duties if the woman works, traditional gender roles still dominate, and women carry out most domestic responsibilities even if others acknowledge they should help more.

    Audio script – Track 1.

    02:
    MC: Today we have two students with us, Hương and Viên. They are going to tell us about a
    survey they did on the role of women and men in typical Vietnamese homes.
    Hương: Our survey shows that in general women still do most of the cleaning and cooking. In fact,
    many women don’t have an outside job. Instead, they do housework and take care of the elderly.
    MC: That’s interesting. What else did you learn Viên?
    Viên: In general, in families where women work, the husband and children are more likely to help
    out with housework.
    MC: I see. And have things changed much over the years.
    Viên: Well, things are changing but rather slowly. It’s more common in cities for other family
    members to help out at home than it is in the rural areas.
    MC: I guess that is because it’s more common for mothers to work outside the home in the cities.
    Viên: That’s right.
    MC: Is there anything else you found that is interesting?
    Viên: Most people agree that they should help out women more at homes, but they don’t always do
    so.
    Hương: I guess we all know we should help out more, but we don’t always do it.

    Audio script – Track 1.03:


    MC: So who does most of the housework at your home, Hương?
    Hương: Well, it’s my mum. She does all the cleaning and cooking. In fact, she doesn’t have an
    outside job. Instead, she does housework and takes care of my grandmother.
    MC: That’s interesting. Are things different at your home, Viên?
    Viên: My mother works as a schoolteacher, so we all have to help her out at home.
    MC: I see. And how do you do that?
    Viên: Well, nobody at my house is a very good cook except my mum. So, she does all the cooking.
    And my dad and sister wash and iron the clothes. They take turns.
    MC: That sounds fair. And how do you help out?
    Viên: My job is to take care of our dog. I feed and walk him. I also give him a bath on Sundays.
    MC: Great. It sounds like you all have something to do. Have these roles changed much over the
    years?
    Viên: A little bit. My mother used to do more housework.
    Hương: Things haven’t changed much at my home.
