| Summary: | 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. |
