At a recent conference on population work, the Office said the country’s
population stands at 93.7 million at present, ranking 13th in the world and
third in the Southeast Asian region.
The GOPFP reported that more than 1.3 million babies were born in the country
last year. Hanoi led provinces and cities in the number of births with over
117,000, almost double the number registered in Ho Chi Minh City (nearly
60,000).
With life expectancy on the trend of rising, Vietnam is facing challenges of an
aging population in terms of employment, labour, health care and social
security, thus requiring solutions to improve life quality for the elderly.
