Specifically, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued the Decision No. 468/QĐ-TTg in 2016 approving the Project to control the sex imbalance at birth, period 2016-2025, with the goal of effectively controlling the growth rate of the sex ratio at birth, towards bringing the sex ratio at birth back to the natural balance, contributing to improving the quality of human resources, serving the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country.
The State has proposed policies to encourage and support as follows:
- Develop, test and implement policies to support and enhance the role and status of women and girls in the family, community and society.
- Develop appropriate social standards and values in order to effectively implement gender equality, gradually eliminating the root causes of the phenomenon of sex selection at birth.
- Research and develop policies to support materially and spiritually for couples giving birth to a daughter falling into:
(1) Poor and near-poor households;
(2) Ethnic minorities in difficult or extremely difficult areas;
(3) People living in island communes and island districts;
(4) At the end of working age but no pension.
Thus, if the couple gives birth to a daughter in the above 04 cases, they will be supported by the state. Notably, not all couples giving birth to a single daughter are supported, but must be the right subjects mentioned above to be supported.
