Gender Biased Sex Selection in Vietnam : Demographic Projections and Policy Reform Recommendations
The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive data and evidence-based analysis of gender-based sex selection (GBSS) in Vietnam in terms of demographic projections and policy reforms to inform decision makers and program specialists on curbing sex imbalances at birth. Drawing from the 2019 Census data and international evidence on the impact of GBSS policies, the report offers novel insights for policy dialogue, to develop and refine laws and interventions on son preference and skewed sex ratios at birth (SRB), with a specific focus on the Law on Population and the Law on Social Insurance.
