- Vietnam has scrapped its longstanding two-child policy.
- This move aims to reverse its declining birthrate and ease the pressure from an ageing society.
- Between 1999 and 2022, Vietnam’s birthrate was about 2.1 children per woman.
- In 2024, the country’s birthrate reached a record low of 1.91 children per woman.
- Regional neighbours like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong also have declining birthrates.
- The country’s communist government introduced the two-child policy in 1988.
