Bid to curtail population boom
HA NOI — The Government plans to limit population growth so that the national population does not exceed 100 million by 2020 while the country's population is projected to continue to rise during the next decade.
The newly-issued 2010-15 Action Programme on Population and Family Planning allows for Viet Nam's population, now at 86 million, to grow by 16 per cent during the next ten years.
The plan aims to continue the policy of fostering small families, with one or at most, two children.
The programme aims to address the increasing gender imbalance of newborns threatening the country. The national average ratio of male/female infants is more than 112/100, with some provinces seeing an even greater imbalance at up to 135/100.
