The GOPFP reported that more than 1.3 million babies were born in the country last year. Ha Noi led provinces and cities in the number of births with over 117,000, almost double the number registered in Ho Chi Minh City (nearly 60,000). 

With life expectancy on the trend of rising, Vietnam is facing challenges of an ageing population in terms of employment, labour, health care and social security, thus requiring solutions to improve life quality for the elderly.
