Việt Nam’s population sector faces numerous challenges, including different rates of fertility in different regions, severe gender imbalance, internal migration and population aging.
Việt Nam Population Strategy by 2030’, aimed to collect ideas from concerned organisations to complete a draft strategy on population to submit to the Government.
The strategy for 2030 must overcome the problem of overcrowding in urban areas
The previous strategy mainly focused on supplying and improving quality of services, whereas to address population and development issues, the relationship between population and development is key.
Adapting to population aging had become a global problem and Việt Nam was one of the five countries with the fastest aging population in the world
With appropriate policy adjustments, the population strategy by 2030 would contribute significantly to the development of the country
Measures in the strategy include improving quality of pre-marriage consultancy and pre-born healthcare, expanding healthcare models for the elderly, ensuring equal population distribution and renewing education on population issues.
current challenges facing the population work that need to be addressed, including the difference in the fertility rate in regions, serious gender imbalance, unplanned migration, population aging, and limited population quality.
reached a consensus on the necessity to promulgate a new strategy as the old one has yet to solve the relationship between population and development absolutely.
Despite the current low birth rate level, there remain wide regional disparities across the country.
A key indicator of overall health conditions, life expectancy at birth has now risen to a high level in Vietnam.
The health status of the elderly has greatly improved in the past few decades, but it remains one of their most significant concerns.
Respect for the elderly is a fundamental, traditional value in Vietnam. Older people have an important role to play and make significant contributions to the development of the community through their experiences and abilities.
Females have drawn nearly even with males in literacy, a sharp divergence from the past, when only two-thirds of women ages 50 and over could read or write.
Gender inequality still exists in many respects. Despite a high rate of female literacy, women’s educational attainment remains lower than that of men at all levels, with the gap wider at the higher levels.
the gap in educational qualification between men and women has narrowed dramatically.
Rapid population growth, migration, and urbanization in Vietnam have placed new pressure on the environment, particularly as a result of patterns of land use, forest exploitation, and depletion of water resources.
Vietnam faces a challenge familiar to many developing countries
One solution that will likely emerge will be major improvements in public transportation systems so that such systems can compete with the appeal and convenience of motor vehicles.
Việt Nam would have to push ahead with bold reforms in institutions, human resources, infrastructure and innovation for better quality growth in the next ten years
