Abstract
The 1999 population and housing census of Viet Nam estimated the population to be 76 million people (CCSC, 1999). According to the 1994 intercensal survey, the total fertility rate (TFR) was 3.1 children per woman of reproductive age in 1993 (GSO, 1995). The estimate from the 1999 census was 2.3 children per woman in 1999. These estimates suggest that fertility has been falling rapidly in Viet Nam.
