KX 03.19 / 06-10 issued by Vu Hao Quang, accepted in 2011. The article uses sociological research methods and T. Parsons functional structural theory and H. Mead and H. Blumer symbolic interaction theory. The article makes the following important findings: Under conditions of residing abroad, Vietnamese immigrant in Thailand have the tendency to subconsciously maintain Vietnamese family identity. The democratic tendency in the distribution of power in Vietnamese immigrant families manifest clearly through the basic family functions. The author analyzes the relationships of power and family division of labor through an analysis of 16 types of family tasks. In gender relations, there is still some difference between the division of power and the implementation of gender roles. The sign of patrimony still exist, however, not as strong as in the traditional Vietnamese family. Economic factors such as income per month are closely related to the 16 types of family tasks. Whichever member has higher income will be more likely to make final decision on a household related assignments. Families that earn over 3000 baht to 5000 baht are the group that tend to have the strongest power relations in making decisions and family activities. Families with incomes above 5,000 baht almost no longer care about family relations power because they meet basic needs.
