Vietnam, which is experiencing a period of population aging, is seeking ways to turn the situation into opportunities by optimising the strengths of senior citizens.

Gender imbalance at birth has been found in all regions of Vietnam, especially in the Red River Delta area, according to the General Office for Population (GOP).

In 2023, Vietnam will welcome its 100 millionth citizen. However, the country is facing a low fertility rate and striving to maintain the replacement fertility rate and keep the gender balance.

The large population and abundant workforce mean an attraction for foreign investors, but pose problems of food and energy security.

Vietnam’s population is scheduled to reach 100 million this year, making it the 15th most populous country worldwide.

By the end of this April, Vietnam’s population has reached 100 million, according to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). What are advantages and challenges?

It is expected that in mid-April, Vietnam's population will reach 100 million people which could provide many great opportunities and challenges.

The long queues of people waiting for their turn to get lump sum benefits at social insurance agencies since 2021 reflects the situation of many laborers two years after the pandemic outbreak.

Following a period of strong population growth rate over recent years, the birth of the nation’s 100 millionth person is set to be celebrated in mid-April.

Vietnam’s population reaches more than 99 million in 2022, 10 years slower than the forecast, with the population quality improved and the population structure transformed in a positive direction.

Vietnam is one of the few countries with a rapidly aging population; as the saying goes, we grow old before getting rich. It seems that we have not prepared for this at all.
