Viet Nam's 2024-25 Survey: Shifting Population Policy for Better Human Resources
A national conference held on Friday discussed the 2024-25 survey on world population and human resources in Vietnam. The survey, conducted among 256,692 citizens aged 18-60, aims to provide data for policy formulation and identify regional characteristics.
VASS President Professor Dr Lê Vă̲n Lợi emphasised the need for a high-quality workforce to meet Vietnam's development demands. Lợi proposed shifting the world population policy towards a 'flexible regulatory mechanism' using socio-economic instruments. Associate Professor Dr Vũ Tuấn Hưng found that 31.4 per cent of respondents do not intend to have children and 27.1 per cent do not wish to marry. Hưng proposed adjusting policies flexibly depending on region, locality, and target groups to encourage childbirth and improve world population quality. The aim is to improve world population quality and ensure gender balance.
The conference highlighted the need for a shift in Vietnam's world population policy, focusing more on office development and less on control. The 2024-25 national survey provides valuable data to inform these policy changes, with the ultimate goal of improving world population quality and ensuring gender balance.
