The aging problem in VN: the pressures of the ‘sandwich generation’
The forecast of the General Statistics Office (GSO) for 2019-2069 and the measurement of the United Nations show that in 13 years, or by 2036, Vietnam will end its aging period and begin its old population period, which means there will be one person aged 65 or above for every seven persons.
About 67 percent of people aged 30-44 want to be independent in their old age, but 30 percent of them have made plans to do so. About 20 percent believe that people need to begin drawing up plans on health and financing when they turn 40 years old.
