This report emphasizes how human rights norms and principles can be used in every stage of policy development and implementation toward strengthening the Viet Nam’s population law and related policies in its new demographic context to ensure continued and sustainable success. The key message of this report is that developing a robust legal framework that integrates population policy goals, international human rights norms, and effective development policy is a potential area of leadership for Viet Nam. Viet Nam’s development of human rights-based population law, related policies and programmes will help the country address the range of its demographic concerns, improving the lives of all people.

Results from the data analysis show that the age-sex structure of the population in Viet Nam is typical for the period of transition from high to low mortality and fertility. The analysis provides evidence related to important demographic issues such as the “demographic window of opportunity”, population ageing, youth, single elderly differences between regions and population groups, and factors that affect the sex-age structure.It also provides policy recommendations in order to meet the needs of a demographic change.

State of World Population 2016 "10: How our future depends on a girl at this decisive age"
Full review
Viet Nam’s rapid population ageing continues and is expected to accelerate in the future. In recent decades, Viet Nam has made exceptional advances in population health. Mortality and fertility rates have plummeted and life expectancy at birth rose to 70.6 years for men and 76.0 for women in 2014. Together, these trends have led to a greater fraction of the total population comprised by seniors (60 years and above). While in 1990 seniors made up 7.2 per cent of the population, they accounted for 10 per cent in 2011, which marked the country’s entrance into its socalled “ageing phase”.
