Vietnam left the limit of two children per family, the official agency of the country led by a communist power, which faces a fall in its birth rate, said on Wednesday, June 4.
Each couple is now free to choose the number of children they want to have, says the Vietnamese information agency.
In the last three years, the fertility rate of the country of Southeast Asia has been below the renewal threshold established in 2.1, reaching “historically” low levels, deplored the Ministry of Health.

Of 2.11 children per woman in 2021, the figure fell to 2.01 in 2022, then 1.96 and finally, 1.91 last year.
Tran Minh Huong, a 22 -year -old office employee, said the new Government Management was not going to change its projects.
Even in Asia, where “social standards dictate that women must marry and have children, raise a child is too expensive,” he said. Vietnam has a population of around 100 million inhabitants.
Vice Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Link Huong has warned this year that it will be increasingly difficult to convince couples that they have more children, despite state incentives.
