By 2050, 4.3 million Vietnamese men are at risk of being "single"
The gender imbalance in Vietnam is at an alarming level, especially among children, with the sex ratio at birth in 2024 reaching 111.4 boys/100 girls, far exceeding the natural level. This imbalance not only affects the current population structure but also has many serious consequences in the future.
Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan warned that Vietnam is facing a situation of "decreasing birth rates, with a surplus of males and a shortage of females". According to the General Statistics Office, the sex ratio at birth in 2024 will reach 111.4 boys/100 girls, far exceeding the natural level. At this rate, Vietnam is expected to have a surplus of 1.5 million men by 2034 and will increase to 2.3 million in the following years. By 2050, we will have at least a surplus of 2.3 million and at most 4.3 million men who are unable to marry.
