However, the rise of individualism as a result of globalisation and westernisation has created conflict between younger and older generations as children, influenced by western values of individualism, resist parental expectations and seek families and personal freedom of their own, leading to weaker connections and piety in Vietnamese families.

This is demonstrated through the rise in nuclear families now accounting for more than 70% of all households in the city, as opposed to the traditional model of three generations living in the same house (Tran, 2018). [BODY 1 S3]

A 1999 census shows that 4.5 million people (6.5% of their population) had moved from rural areas into the city between 1994 and 2002 (Dang and Tacoli 2003), with over half aged under 25 (APJJF 2010), meaning more children are leaving home before marriage rather than remaining home to care for their parents.

Additionally, westernisation has led to changing beliefs about premarital sex, living with partners and rising divorce rates, as a 2000 survey found that the number of divorces in 2000 was 51,361, and jumped to 145,791 in 2013 (SHANGHAI DAILY ARCHIVE 2014).
