A growing body of literature is concerned with urbanization processes in contemporary Vietnam and how the country's globalizing cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are increasingly becoming spaces of consumption. However, much less is known about how these changing spaces accommodate labour, and in turn support livelihoods. Using published empirical data on Hanoi's informal waste collectors from 1992 [DiGregorio. M., 1994. Urban Harvest: Recycling as a Peasant Industry in Northern Vietnam. East-West Center, Hawaii, pp. 1-212] and my own data, including a survey of 575 waste collectors and 44 interviews, collected on Hanoi's informal waste collectors in 2006,1 explore the experiences of informal waste collectors (waste pickers and itinerant junk buyers) in Vietnam's capital city of Hanoi. I argue that Vietnam's globalizing economy and urban transition have been a catalyst for the growth of the informal waste collector population in Hanoi as well as a partial player in the gendering of this group and the work they undertake.
