HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam has scrapped a coverage that restricted {couples} to have as much as two kids, because it addresses a declining start fee and a shrinking working-age inhabitants.

Vietnamese lawmakers on Tuesday handed new amendments to the Inhabitants Legislation, leaving it as much as households to resolve what number of kids they’re going to have.

The 2-child coverage, in place since 2009 to stop overpopulation, restricted households to 1 or two kids. Whereas enforcement was relaxed for strange residents, the coverage was strictly utilized to authorities officers and members of the ruling Communist Social gathering.

The nation’s inhabitants is estimated by the Ministry of Well being to be simply over 100 million, with a median age of 33.4 years and almost 70% inside the working-age vary of 15 to 64. But the ministry warned that the nationwide fertility fee dropped to 1.91 per girl in 2024 — the bottom in Vietnam’s fashionable historical past and under the substitute stage.

If this pattern continues, the so-called “golden inhabitants” interval, when the working-age inhabitants considerably outnumbers dependents, will finish in lower than 15 years, the ministry stated.

Considerations in regards to the prices of child-rearing

“I don’t know what to think of this new law,” says Tran Phuong Mai, a 42-year-old housewife in Hanoi. “It may be a good thing, but in our case, it’s a little too late.”

Mai’s husband Nguyen Manh Hung, additionally 42, was a neighborhood authorities official and a mid-level Communist Social gathering member. He resigned over a decade in the past, when Mai grew to become pregnant with their third baby. “It was a tough decision, but we didn’t want him to face trouble,” she explains.

“Now we could have five or six children, should we want, but I feel that I am already past the optimal child-bearing age, plus it is so expensive to raise a child,” Mai says.

Sociologists echo issues about prices, estimating that elevating a toddler from start to age 22 prices 10 to twenty million Vietnamese dong ($380 to $760) per 30 days — greater than the typical month-to-month earnings.

Well being Minister Dao Hong Lan advised parliament on Tuesday that a number of nations just like Vietnam have deserted contraception insurance policies, noting that eradicating baby limits “aligns with international practice.” For instance, neighboring China ended its one-child coverage in 2016 and, since 2021, has allowed {couples} to have as much as three kids.

Like many nations, Vietnam can be dealing with challenges with an ageing inhabitants

“Vietnam is facing a fundamental challenge that no country in East Asia has yet succeeded in significantly addressing: population aging,” says Jonathan London, a senior financial advisor to Vietnam on the United Nations Improvement Program.

“This measure needs to be accompanied by other supports for children and families, and especially women,” London says of the lifting of the two-child restrict. “Such policies can have a significant impact, but it will require a high level of determination, consistency and scale to truly have breakthrough impacts.”

Lawmakers are additionally addressing intercourse imbalances attributable to prenatal gender choice, as boys are historically most popular in Vietnam’s patriarchal society. The Ministry of Well being has proposed rising fines on potential mother and father for pre-birth intercourse choice from 30 million Vietnamese dong ($1,150) to a most of 100 million ($3,800).
