Vietnam faces a demographic paradox: after more than four decades promoting a two-child policy to control its population growth, its authorities are now seeking exactly the opposite. The fertility rate has fallen to 1.9 children per woman, below the level necessary to guarantee generational replacement. Since the policy was lifted in June 2025, the country has been trying to find ways to encourage its citizens to have more children and slow the aging of its population.
Today, faced with an aging population and the risk of labor shortages, the Vietnamese government has completely changed its policy. It seeks to convince its citizens to have more children to boost the birth rate.
Report by Dung Vo Trung and Mélodie Sforza.
