the significant migration flows between rural-urban and urban-urban nationwide. The large number

social services which are more preferred and accessed by the migrants in the urban life. Basing on
the social inclusion approach, from survey findings with 1042 migrants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh

Vietnam and suggests further research and solutions for migrant’s social inclusion through the
social services accessibility.
