According to the General Statistic Office (GSO), Vietnam population in 2009 in total was 85.789.573 people. Vietnam has the third largest population in Southeast Asia (after Indonesia, and Philippine) and the thirteenth largest one in over the world.
The population is unevenly distributed throughout the countries.. The number of people living in urban areas is 25,374,262 which makes up 29.6% of the total population. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are the two largest cities with approximately 7 million inhabitants in each. Those living in rural areas make up for 70% of the whole population but the number is plummeting due to rapid urbanization and migration into big cities.
At the moment, the population shows a fair gendered distribution, with 49.5% being men and 50.5% being women. However, there are rising concerns that the birth ratio of boys to girls are growing, leading to a gender gap in the near future.
Since the Reunification in 1975, there has been a great deal of changes in Vietnam population. It has observed the rapid increase in population size from 52,742 people in 1979 to 85,789,573 people in 2009.
In addition, the population structure has changed especially by age groups. The number of children in the 0 to 4 age group in 2009 in comparison with that in 1979 is just a half. Another detail to support this is the sharp decrease in the number of children in the 5 to 9 age group from 14.58% the whole population in 1979 to 8.0% in 2009. Other statistics express the fall in the number of people in the 10 to 14 age group also. These are signs for increasing longevity and a coming old population. The no-more-than-two child policy also helps account for the rapidly decreasing fertility rate.
Population in Vietnam is a social issue which is the concern of not only the government but also the subject of intervention for development organizations. Population is both the producer and consumer of goods and services. Therefore, the population size, structure, growth rate, and quality all have great impacts on social economic development.
Estimation: There has not been any official statistics documenting Vietnamese population in 2011. According to the GSO, Vietnam population in 2010 is estimated to be 86.93 million people. At this rate of increase, Vietnamese population in 2011 will be reaching close to 87 million in 2011.
