Vietnam Aims to Address Declining Birthrate Amid Ageing Population

12 Ağustos 2026France 24
  • Vietnam is experiencing a significant decline in its birthrate, now at 1.9 children per woman, raising concerns for the government. Historically known for large families, the country had enforced a two-child policy for over 40 years to manage population growth.
  • With the lifting of this restriction in June 2025, the government is now seeking ways to encourage higher birthrates.
  • Vietnam's demographic challenges are not unique; many countries face similar issues as they transition from high to low fertility rates. However, Vietnam's historical context of population control adds a layer of complexity to its current situation.
  • The shift from a restrictive two-child policy to a more open approach reflects a critical turning point for Vietnam's demographic strategy. As the population ages and the workforce shrinks, the government must balance the need for population growth with the societal changes that come with modernity.
