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.
