Update news gender imbalance
Vietnam's Health Ministry has proposed support for families with at least two daughters under 16 to address the sex ratio imbalance at birth, but critics question whether the policy could unintentionally reinforce gender inequality.
A new official report warns Vietnam's shortage of women of marriageable age will continue to grow, peaking at around 1.3 million by 2049.
