Research addressing conflict and migration has made great strides in explaining the relationship between violence and migration. However, it commonly lacks individual-level data on exposure to war. We use survey data from the 2018 Vietnam Health and Aging Study to examine the associations between war-related violence exposure during the American War and the wartime migrations of northern Vietnamese war survivors. Using multilevel mixed-effects count models, we investigate three groups of factors influencing migration-war-related events, economic circumstances, and demographic and life course factors-to explore the relationship between war exposure and migration, inclusive of deployments, economic moves, and displacements. Our findings indicate that the effects of war exposure, socioeconomic status, and demographic characteristics diverge for different types of migration. These findings, framed within the life course and historical context, suggest the need to thoughtfully delineate both war exposures and traditional causes of migration to understand the diverse types of mobility occurring during periods of armed conflict.
针对冲突与移民的研究在解释暴力与移民之间的关系方面取得了长足进展。然而，它通常缺乏关于战争经历的个人层面数据。我们使用2018年越南健康与老龄化研究的调查数据，来检验越战期间与战争相关的暴力经历与越南北部战争幸存者战时移民之间的关联。通过使用多层次混合效应计数模型，我们研究了影响移民的三类因素——与战争相关的事件、经济状况以及人口和生命历程因素——以探究战争经历与移民之间的关系，包括部署、经济迁移和流离失所。我们的研究结果表明，战争经历、社会经济地位和人口特征对不同类型移民的影响存在差异。这些在生命历程和历史背景下得出的研究结果表明，有必要审慎地界定战争经历和传统的移民原因，以理解武装冲突期间发生的各种流动类型。
