Study Notes
Vietnam's Population Milestone
- Vietnam is expected to reach a population of 100 million, making it the 15th most populous country in the world.
- This milestone comes 10 years after the population hit 90 million in 2013.
Economic Scale and Per Capita Income
- As of 2022, Vietnam's economic scale and per capita income reached $409 billion and $4,110, respectively.
- These figures are expected to reach $424.45 billion and $4,400 by the end of 2023.
- When the population hits 100 million, the economic scale must be over $440 billion, requiring a GDP growth of over 7% in 2023.
Implications of a 100 Million Population
- A large population provides a sizable domestic market, attracting more foreign direct investment with a healthy, well-educated, and skilled labor force.
- It also brings opportunities for innovation and creativity, with a strong dynamism in the country.
- However, it also poses challenges such as food and energy security, ensuring quality education, healthcare, and environmental protection for 100 million people.
Demographic Transition and Labor Quality
- Vietnam is completing the demographic transition, with mortality and fertility decline, leading to an aging population.
- The country is in a period of golden population structure, with nearly 70% of the population being in the working age.
- Vietnam has a strong labor force of 51.5 million people, ranking third in the ASEAN region, but the quality of labor remains low.
