The Population And Housing Census 2019: Population Ageing and Older Persons in Viet Nam
This monograph, “Population ageing and older persons in Viet Nam”, was developed using data from the Population and Housing Censuses in 2009 and 2019 and other relevant sources. It builds on in-depth analyses from previous reports on population ageing in Viet Nam. The analysis finds that population ageing has evolved swiftly in Viet Nam, which in turn requires adaptive policies and programmes. The analysis also identifies different characteristics of groups in old age, and provides a number of policy recommendations to help the country meet the individual needs of older persons in order to take care of them as well as promote their role as a resource for economic growth and development in Viet Nam.
Policy Brief On Economic Cost of Violence Against Women: Violence is costly today and tomorrow
The strength of the Viet Nam economy is the high participation rate of women and men in economic activity – Viet Nam is one of the highest female labour force participation rates (73 per cent) in the world. This high level of participation by women in economic activity underlies the importance of understanding the economic impact of violence that so many women experience in their families. In response to this central concern, the National Study on Violence Against Women in Viet Nam 2019 specifically included the analysis on economic costs borne by women as a consequence of experiencing Violence Against Women (VAW).

The 2009 Population and Housing Census Data Warehouse
The 2009 Population and Housing Census of Viet Nam was implemented according to Prime Ministerial Decision N0. 94/2008/QD-TTg dated 10 July, 2008. The purpose of the Census is to collect basic data on population and housing for the entire territory of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and those Vietnamese citizens who were given to travel overseas and still within the authorized period. Sample data of the Census were published in December 2009. Completed results of the Census were disseminated in July 2010. In order to systematize and document the 2009 Population and Housing Census’s information and results, a data warehouse of the Census has been built to provide the most advantageous tool of referring to information of this Viet Nam Census.
