In a significant demographic shift, Vietnam has officially scrapped its decades-long two-child policy amid growing concerns over a declining birth rate and an aging population. This move, aimed at reversing trends that threaten economic growth, allows couples to have more than two children for the first time in many years. The decision comes as the country seeks to address rising demographic challenges similar to those faced by nations like Japan and Russia. The government plans to implement a new population law to further tackle these issues.
