Reparato, an anthropologist who has been studying the Vietnamese working environment for twelve years, was supported in the writing process by Michela Cerimele and Emma Ferulano.

What has been created is what he defines as the perfect target: young people, migrants, and above all women, considered the weakest link in the chain and often constrained by family expectations that make their employment temporary.
