The country is on the path of development, in connection with this the population growth has changed. The standard of living in Vietnam has changed dramatically, and from the country of the poor it has become a stable and economically developed state.

By population in the world, Vietnam is on the 14th place and is one of the most densely populated countries.

Vietnam in figures

Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia, which occupies the 66th place in the world in terms of area. Its territory is 331 thousand square kilometers.

In 2013, the population is 92,477,857 people. According to the population density, the country is on the 30th place in the international rating - 273 people per square kilometer.

The gross domestic product per capita is $ 3,100, which corresponds to 166 places in the world.

Not all the population of the country is literate, more than 8% of women and 4% of men are illiterate.

The official language is Vietnamese, but local residents speak English, French, Chinese and even Russian.

Religion among the Vietnamese is different. The most mass is the religion of the animistic cult, more than 80% of the population refer themselves to it. It is not formalized and does not have world recognition as a confession. Also on the territory of Vietnam, Buddhism (9%), Catholicism (6.7%), Hoa-Hao (1.5%), Kaodai (1.1%), Protestantism (0.5%) profess.

One of the interesting facts about Vietnam is that about 40% of the population is named Nguyen.

Population density

The density of the population of Vietnam is quite high, as in many countries in South-East Asia. The population density is not uniform, in rural areas and in mountainous areas it is not large - from 10 to 50 people per square kilometer. And already in the cities that are in the valleys of the rivers Krasnaya and Mekong, the density reaches the highest world indices - 1500-1700 people per square kilometer. This figure is second only to Singapore, Bangkok and Bahrain in Asia.

The total land area of the state per thousand inhabitants is 3.7 square kilometers, which is one of the lowest in Asia. The area of Vietnam and its population have great potential, they only need to dispose of it correctly.

How the population developed

Vietnam has shown GDP growth over the last few years, this figure does not drop below 7% from year to year. Economic changes have affected the whole country, including the most remote mountain and rural areas.

The wages of Vietnamese people are growing by about 10% each year. With the development of the economy and investment, the number of jobs has increased. This made it possible to reduce the number of people living below the poverty line. In the early 90's in Vietnam, 30% of the population was considered poor, by 2000 the government managed to improve the situation (15% of the poor). Today, Vietnamese citizens who are below the poverty line make up only 10% of the population.

It should be noted here that virtually all villages and villages in Vietnam are equipped with electricity and roads are built. The level of education is also growing every year. Today, 94% of the Vietnamese population are literate.

In the health sector, significant results have also been achieved. The quality of medical services provided has increased, and already 90% of the population have access to it.

Interrelation of economy and population

The population size of each country directly depends on the quality of life. Constantly improving the economic situation, improving the quality of life, have outlined a trend towards a modern type of population reproduction in Vietnam. People have reconsidered their values, got opportunities for self-realization, and in this connection the number of children in families has decreased.

This led to a decrease in population growth, but Vietnam's performance is still in the black. On average, annually, the population growth is 1%.

The population of Vietnam is 90,549,390 people and depends on the development of the economy. She is still weak and young. This is one of the poorest countries in the world, 10% of the population being poor is a high figure.

But the strengthening of the economy, the transition to a market model leads, without exception, to the social problems of our time. Moral values are depreciating, social defects (such as prostitution, homosexuality, crime) are increasing, the country's ecology is deteriorating, and the gap between poverty and luxury is inexorably growing.

Forecast for the future

The annual increase in the number of inhabitants of the country, on average by 1 million people, allowed Vietnam to occupy the third place in Asia in terms of population. Further population growth in Vietnam will create additional difficulties for the development of the country.

And according to the forecasts of the statistical office, the population of this country will continue to grow in the near future. This is due primarily to the age of citizens. The number of women of childbearing age is constantly increasing, and in the country the young population prevails. Vietnam is projected to increase the population by 2024, it can reach more than 100 million people.

Population distribution

The pace of urbanization in Vietnam is accelerating. And although only 25% of the population are urban dwellers, this indicator can be reduced, for a sense of correctness. After all, not all cities in Vietnam can be fully called cities, as they have not reached development in industry and in the service sector. Living in such cities is not much different from the rural life that most Vietnamese are leading.

Residents of this country prefer to live in lowland areas, particularly favorable are the areas of the delta of the rivers Krasnaya and Mekong, about half of the Vietnamese live here. Territories rich in minerals and with great potential, occupy more than 50% of the country's territory, and are inhabited a little.

The largest cities of Vietnam are Hanoi (capital), Ho Chi Minh City, Haiphong and Danagh.

Who lives and says

In Vietnam, fifty-four nationalities are officially registered and live. A significant majority are Vietnamese, who live throughout the country, this 86%. Unevenly, other groups live in small groups. The number of some nationalities is so small that it makes up about two hundred people, for example, brow, ode, irmam and puke. Also on the territory of Vietnam live Chinese, Thai, Tibetans. A little bit from each nationality of neighboring states.

The official language of the country is Vietnamese. There are several dialects on the territory of the whole country. Most of its Vietnamese language owes Chinese. More than 60% of the language is Chinese words, there are also borrowings from Thai, French, English and Russian. Until the 20th century, Chinese characters were used in Vietnam, and since 1910, they switched to Latin writing.

Ethnos of Vietnam

Vietnam is a country where you can meet tribes and nationalities who do not enjoy the benefits of modernity, but live according to the traditions of their ancestors in the mountains and jungles. Modern technology is gradually beginning to penetrate these tribes and you can meet, for example, a savage with a gun.

These people live, like two hundred years ago, engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding. For tourists who come to see their tribes, they make souvenirs.

How Vietnam grows

In total for the last ten years of Vietnam's development, its real GDP grew by 48 billion dollars, the average value of 73 billion dollars. The growth of GDP on average for the year for 10 years is 6.32%.

As in the rest of the world, the minimum GDP growth was in 2008, due to the global economic crisis. The maximum growth was registered in 2014.

The growth of the gross domestic product in Vietnam at its own pace is second only to China. All this is due to liberalization, which began in the early 90-ies of the last century. Vietnam was considered a backward state, its people were poor, engaged mainly in agriculture. After the changes, GDP did not fall below 5% even in the crisis years of 2008-2009, when the economy of the whole world shook. Since the beginning of the 1990s, commercial organizations have appeared in Vietnam, production rates have risen sharply, trade relations have expanded, and imports and exports have increased. All this had a favorable effect on the standard of living.
