Summary

Vietnam's population to peak around 2059.
Golden population structure ends by 2036.
Internal migration has significantly declined.

Vietnam's population is anticipated to reach its zenith around 2059, followed by a period of slow growth or stability. This projection, based on recent demographic analyses, signals a significant transition for the nation.

The "golden population structure," characterized by a large working-age population, is expected to conclude by 2036. Subsequently, Vietnam will face an aging population, increasing pressure on labor supply and social services.

Furthermore, persistent gender imbalances at birth are projected to continue into the mid-21st century. Urbanization is slowing, and internal migration has notably decreased, from 6.4 million between 2014-2019 to 3.8 million from 2019-2024.
