چکیده
The estimated population of Viet Nam was 86 025 000 in 2009, 49.4% of them male. The population density is 263 persons per square kilometre, with most (70.3%) of the population living in rural areas. Over the past few years, the country has witnessed a gradual change in its population structure. In 2009, 25% of the population was aged 0-14 years, a decrease of 8.1% in comparison with 1999. However, the proportion aged over 65 years also increased rapidly (by 0.6 %) over the same ten-year period. This shows that fertility has continued to decline over recent years while the number of elderly has been increasing gradually.
