Newsworthy - Vietnam abandons its controversial two-child policy as the nation faces a demographic crisis of gender imbalance and plummeting birth rates threatening its economic future.
- Vietnam’s National Assembly passed amendments in June 2025 to end the 37-year-old two-child policy as birth rates fell to 1.91 children per woman, below replacement level.
- The policy, implemented in 1988, contributed to Vietnam having the world’s highest abortion rate and created a severe gender imbalance with 111 boys born for every 100 girls.
- Communist Party officials were particularly affected by the previous policy, facing penalties for having more than two children while enforcement was more relaxed for the general population.
