Vietnam comes out of a child’s bilateral policy to combat birth Population composition news

The decrease in the birth rate in Vietnam is the most obvious in urban areas, while male births still exceed the number of females.

Vietnam has canceled her long -extending policy of the child because it aims to reflect the decrease in the rate of births and reduce pressure from the aging community.

All restrictions have been removed this week, and husbands will be free to have the largest number of children as they choose, according to the Vietnamese media.

Dow Hong Minister Dow Hong because the contraction of the population in the future “threatens sustainable economic and social development in Vietnam, as well as its national security and long -term defense,” the Hanoi Times newspaper reported.

Between 1999 and 2022, the birth rate in Vietnam was about 2.1 children per woman, and the rate of replacement needed to prevent residents from shrinkage, but the rate began to decrease.

In 2024, the country’s birth reached a record decrease of 1.91 children per woman.

Regional neighbors such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong all reject births, but their economies are more advanced than Vietnam.

It is expected that the population of Vietnam at the age of work will reach its climax around 2040, according to the World Bank, and aims to avoid the trap of “aging before it becomes rich.”

The communist government in the country presented politics at that time, Vietnam was still overcoming the effects of decades of war.

Vietnam’s bilateral policy was strictly imposed with members of the Communist Party in Vietnam, according to Associated Press, but families everywhere may lose government subsidies and assistance if they have a third or fourth child.

In addition to the low birth rate, Vietnam also faces major imbalances in various regions and social groups, according to the Ministry of Health.

The low birth rate is the most obvious in urban areas such as Ho Chi Minh and Capital Hanoi, where the cost of living is higher. But there are also significant sexual differences. Last year, the rate of sex in Vietnam at birth was 111 boys per 100 girls.

The contrast between male and female births is the most obvious in the red river delta in North Vietnam, North Midlands and mountains, according to the World Bank, the lowest in the central highlands and the Mekong River Delta.

Vietnam prohibits doctors from telling parents of their children’s sex to reduce the selective abortion of sex, but this practice continues, with doctors communicating through encrypted words, according to the Vietnamese media.

The General Statistics Office warned without deterrence, there could be “a surplus of 1.5 million men between the ages of 15 and 49 by 2039, as it rose to 2.5 million by 2059.”

In an attempt to reflect this trend, the Ministry of Health has suggested separately three times the fine in order to “choose a fetal sex” to about $ 3,800.
