Taking advantage of golden population structure for new era
Vietnam’s population has officially surpassed the 100 million mark and is in the golden population structure phase. This is an opportunity for the country to maintain growth and development. However, policies to improve the quality of human resources, in terms of knowledge, health, and skills, bring Vietnam firmly into the new era of rising up.
According to the United Nations Population Fund, Vietnam officially entered the golden population period in 2007 and is estimated to last about 30-35 years.
It is worth noting that Vietnam has a rapidly ageing population, with people aged 60 and over increasing from 11.9% of the total population (in 2019) to 13% (in 2022) and forecast to be more than 25% (in 2050). Around 2038, Vietnam will end its golden population period and officially enter the ageing population stage.
