CENTRAL POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS STEERING COMMITTEE REPORT ON COMPLETED CENSUS RESULTS The 1/4/2009 Population and Housing Census Hanoi, 21 July 2010 Immediately after disseminating the results of the census sample at the end of 2009, the Central Census Steering Committee has been continued processing completed census results of the 2009 Population and Housing Census Data processing and check of the completed census results by the Center for Statistics Informatics and the Office of the Central Census Steering Committee was ended in middle of June, 2006 Important indicators about population of the completed census results were also taken a referendum to the Provincial Statistics Offices and some Central Ministries/Branches for review and discussion at some workshops Today, the Central Population and Housing Census Steering Committee is disseminating the completed results of the 2009 Population and Housing Census at 00.00 hour on 1st April 2009 enclosed herewith the following materials: the report on official results, the pocketbook comprises a summary of main indicators of the census and the publication on analysis of the census sample results In-depth analysis reports of the census results are being compiling It is hoped that those publications will be released early by Quarter IV/2010 The following are the most major and official results of the 2009 Population and Housing Census These officially disseminated figures are replaced the preliminary census results formerly released Population size, growth and structure As completed census results shown that at hour of the 1st April 2009, Viet Nam’s population was 85,846,997 people In comparison with the previous census, the population of the country increased by 9,523 thousand people, on average 952 thousand people being added to the total each year There are provinces with population size more than millions people Those are Hanoi (6,452 thousand people), Ho Chi Minh City (7,163 thousand people) and Thanh Hoa (3,401 thousand people); and there are provinces with population size less than 500 thousand people (Bac Kan, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Kon Tum and Dak Nong) Population size by province/city is displayed in Annex As the 2009 Census data shown, there are brotherhood 54 ethnic groups residing in the entire territory of Vietnam Of which, Kinh ethnicity has a population of 73,594 millions people (account for 85.7%) and other ethnic groups has a population of 12,253 millions people (account for 14.3%) Ethnic minority groups have population of more than million people including: Tay: 1,626,392 An increase of 57,424 persons compared to preliminary data, account for 0.07% of total population This is a low error rate people (occupied 1.9%); Thai: 1,550,423 people (1.8%); Muong: 1,268,963 people (1.5%); Khmer: 1,260,640 people (1.5%) and Mong: 1,068,189 people (1.2%) Average annual population growth rate between two censuses of 1999 and 2009 of the entire country was 1.2%, of which average annual population growth rate of Kinh ethnicity was 1.1% that is much lower than that figure of ethnic minority (1.6%) Population by ethnic groups is displayed in Annex Also according to the 2009 Census data, Vietnam has many various religions, of which there were religions with number of the religiously-followed persons is more than million Those are: the Buddish has 6,802,318 people, account for 43.5% of total religiously-followed people; the Catholics has 5,677,086 persons (36.3%) and the Hoa Hao Buddish has 1,433,252 persons (9.2%) The religiously-followed population of 2009 has increased of 932 thousand people as compared to that figure of the 1999 Census This reflects the religious-faiths freedom policy of the Vietnam Communist Party and State Population by religion is presented in the Annex Before this conference, as requested to give comments, the Ethnicity Committee and the Government Religion Committee appreciated highly data on ethnicity and religion collected in the 2009 Census Population growth has continued to decline The average annual growth rate of population between the 1999 and 2009 is 1.2%, a decrease compared to the period of 1989-1999 (an annual growth rate of 1.7%) Measurements reflecting the fertility level of the 2009 Census such as the total fertility rate and crude birth rate for the 12 months before Census time-point declined compared with the 1999 Census, 2.0 versus 2.3 children per woman and 17.6 versus 19.9 per thousand, respectively From 2006 to the present, total fertility rate in Vietnam has fallen continuously and reached a level below replacement fertility (2.03 children per woman) A population that reaches replacement fertility or below replacement fertility may continue to experience an increase in the number of births in the subsequent decades, because high fertility in the past leads to a high concentration of women in reproductive ages and therefore the absolute number of births continues to increase and to exceed the number of deaths The tendency of the population to continue to increase after reaching replacement fertility is called population momentum It may require or generations (from 50 to 70 years) until the number of live births is balanced with the number of deaths in the population and the population can finally be considered “stationary” Infant mortality rate of the 2009 Census census time-point has fallen to 16 per thousand in 1999 Census This shows programmes generally as well as the programmes particularly estimated for 12 months prior to the thousand as compared to 36.7 per the success of the national health maternal and children health care Crude death rate of the 2009 Census has increased per thousand point compared with that figure of the 1999 Census (6.8 versus 5.6 per thousand), mainly due to a strong increase in number of older people Age population structure has changed positively The proportion of population under 15 years of age fell from 33.1% in 1999 to 24.5% in 2009 In contrast, the population proportion of the 15-64 age group (the main age group of labour force) has increased from 61.1% to 69.1%, while those 65 years of age or older has increased from 5.8% to 6.4% This is the period that Vietnam population has an advantage of labour force, sometimes called as the period of the “demographic window structure” There are many variously named ways for this period As defined by the United Nations, this is the period that proportion of young population aged under 15 has fallen under 30% and proportion of population aged 65 and over has still been under 15% of total population The Europe experienced this period from 1950 to 2000 China started this period in 1990 and it is hoped that it will last to 2015 This period for India will be 2010 and it may be last to the middle of this century Many countries in Africa would not enter into this period before 2015 or later According to above concept, “demographic window period” of Vietnam started years ago (2003 and 2004) This period may last from 30 to 50 years This is obviously a very significant advantage for industrialization and modernization of Vietnam if the preeminentness of labour force is made the best in this period for forthcoming decades Since the rate of elderly people increased while the rate of children reduced sharply during the decade of 1999-2009, the Aging Index of Vietnam increased 11 percent points, from 24.3% to 35.5% The Aging Index of Vietnam in 2009 is currently higher than the average level of South East Asia (30%), is equivalent to the ageing level of Indonesia and Philippines, but is still lower than that of Singapore (85%) and Thailand (52%) Sex ratio at birth is expressed as the number of male births for every 100 female births among total births in reference period (usually 12 months prior to the census) Sex ratio at birth is usually more than 100 because the probability of giving male birth is higher than that of female birth This figure gradually decline by age due to male mortality level is higher than that of female Sex ratio at birth of Vietnam collected from the 2009 Census was 110.5 male births for every 100 female births, is a little higher than normal figure of 105106 This figure is not as high as serious However, it is necessary to have solutions to prevent sex-selection that leads to imbalance of sex such as some countries facing (China, India, …) Sex ratio of population aged 0-4 was 108.7 boys for every 100 girls Vietnam’s sex ratio has always been less than 100 Besides main cause as mentioned (male mortality has exceeded female mortality) this situation of Vietnam has been strongly affected by wars in the 20th century Yet, this ratio has tended to increase gradually after re-unified Vietnam since 1975 Specifically, sex ratio collected from censuses was 94.2 in 1989, 96.4 in 1999 and 97.6 in 2009 (males/100 females) Migration and population distribution 10 In the population census, migration is defined as a number of people changing their usually residential place to a different administrative territorial unit in the years before the census point-time During the years of period 2004-2009, the number of migrants increased by more than 2.2 million people compared to the period 1994-1999, and in particular the increase in the number of migrants rose with the migration distance While intra-district migration only increased by 275,000 people, interdistrict migration within the same province increased by 571,000 people, and inter-provincial migration increased by nearly 1.4 million people Inter-regional migration increased by more than million people This indicates the pace of socio-economic development and the broadened labour market have impacted strongly on migration flows over the last 10 years There are many reasons for people to migrate, but the main reason is to seek employment Migration has an organic relationship to economic development During the period 2004-2009, a large increase was seen in the number of industrial and processing zones built in numerous locations throughout the country These production facilities require skilled labour At the same time during this period, the people were moving in large numbers to cities and urban areas to find employment to earn a living This phenomenon is regularly found in developing countries 11 Population re-distribution continues to occur The population in urban areas was 25,436,896 persons, accounting for 29.6% of total entire country, an increase of percentage points compared to 1999 The population in rural areas was 60.410.101 persons As mentioned above, the average annual growth rate of population between two censuses of 1999 and 2009 is 1.2% That figure in urban areas was 3.4%/year, while in rural areas it was only 0.4%/year During the period of 1999-2009, the crude birth rate in rural areas has exceeded the rate in urban areas while crude death rates have varied little between these two areas This means that the above findings reflects large flows of population from rural to urban areas in the period of 2004-2009 Specifically, during the 5years prior to the Census, net migrants from rural to urban areas is 1,395,000 people, except for population changing residence due to change in administration unit from commune into town/ward 12 Population re-distribution by socio-economic regions has still occurred as a pattern of the previous 10 years The Central Highlands and Southeast continued to attract migrants The remaining regions are net out-migration regions (Northern Midlands and Mountains, Red River Delta, North and South Central Coast and Mekong River Delta) This phenomenon made the population proportion of the Central Highlands and Southeast increased while that of remaining regions declined Migration intensity has also changed basically For net in-migration two regions, the net-migration rate of the Central Highlands has declined, on the contrary that figure of the Southeast has strongly increased The net-migration rate of the Southeast was 117 per thousand, namely there was in-migrant moved to the Southeast for currently every 10 inhabitants of the Southeast Provinces with the highest net migration rates included Binh Duong (340 per thousand), Ho Chi Minh City (136 per thousand), Da Nang (77 per thousand), Dong Nai (66 per thousand), Dak Nong (66 per thousand) and Hanoi (50 per thousand) Localities with high in-migration rates need to take appropriate and effective measures to ensure living conditions for in-migrants such as housing, employment, schools, health, etc For net out-migration regions, the out-migration intensity of the Red River Delta decreased whereas that figure of the remaining regions increased, the most strong increase is for Mekong River Delta 13 Population is not evenly distributed among socio-economic regions throughout the country The most heavily populated region is the Red River Delta (19.6 millions persons), followed by North and South Central Coast (18.8 millions persons) and Mekong River Delta (17.2 millions persons) The least populous region is the Central Highlands, covering provinces with a total of 5.1 millions people Data indicates that the Vietnamese population is not evenly distributed and there is large regional variation 43% of the nation’s population live in the two regions of the Red River and Mekong River Delta In contrast, the Northern Midlands and Mountains and the Central Highlands, high mountain regions with large concentrations of ethnic minority people, only hold under one fifth (nearly 19%) of the nation’s population Due to population growth, Viet Nam’s population density has also increased from 231 people/km2 in 1999 to 259 people/km2 in 2009 Viet Nam is amongst countries having high population densities, ranking as the third country in Southeast Asia (following just after the Singapore and the Philippines) The Red River Delta area has the highest population density (930 people /km2), and then comes the Southeast region (596 people/km2), while the lowest region is the Central Highlands (94 people/km2) 14 Over the past 10 years, average population growth was lowest in the North and South Central Coast region (0.4%/year), the region with the second largest population, followed by the Mekong River Delta (0.6%/year), the region with the third largest population The Southeast experienced the highest population growth (3.3%/year) Although the Central Highlands is the region with the smallest population and lowest population density, because of high inmigration, the population grew rapidly with an average annual growth rate of 2.3%/year over the period 1999–2009 Marital status and Singulate mean age at marriage (SMAM) 15 The proportion of population at 15 years and over still single is 26.8% in Vietnam This percentage is 30.5% in urban areas and 25.1% in rural areas From practical experience, in normal marriage systems, the lower the SMAM is, the longer marriage duration is, and the greater is the likelihood of a person being involved in reproduction At present, men get married for the first time at an average of 26.2 years of age while women get married at 22.8 years of age, 3.4 years earlier In comparison with the 1999 Census, the average first marriage age of males increased by one year while that of females remained unchanged Data of the census indicates that the Southeast was the region with the highest SMAM (27.4 years for men and 24.2 for women), followed by the North and South Central Coast The region with the lowest SMAM was the Northern Midlands and Mountains (24.2 years for men and 21.3 for women), this was followed by the Central Highlands (25.2 years for men and 21.8 for women) These two regions contain a high proportion of the population belonging to ethnic minority groups In general, areas with a greater extent of urbanization or more economic development are the areas where people tend to marry later Educational and technical and professional qualifications 16 The literacy rate of the population of 15 years of age and over has continuously increased for the most recent censuses: 90.3% in 1999 and 94.0% in 2009 For the past 10 years, the literacy rate of women has increased 4.9 percentage points while male literacy rate only increased 2.2 percentage points, producing a narrower difference in literacy rate between men and women The literacy rate of the male and female population aged 15 and over in 2009 were 96.1% and 92.0%, respectively Those of 1999 were 93.9% and 86.9% If divided into groups in terms of literacy rate by age groups, it can be seen that the status of our country’s education has improved notably throughout each period: the literacy rate of the group aged 50 years and over is 88.0% and this keeps rising steadily in the younger age groups as age declined, reaching the highest level (nearly 98%) in the group aged 15-17 for both men and women Data of the 2009 Census also show that the difference in literacy between urban and rural areas is also very small: 97.3% in urban areas versus 92.5% in rural areas The literacy rate is highest in the Red River Delta (97.5%), and lowest in the Northern Midlands and Mountains region (88.1%) Among the provinces and cities, Ha Noi, Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh City have the highest literacy rate (97.9%) whereas Lai Chau has the lowest one (59.4%) Those figures indicate that the literacy rate has been not only quite fast increased but also expressed successes of sex equality in education and training in our country 17 Up to now, people aged and over ever attended school at the rate of 95.0%, of which 96.5% for males, 93.5% for females, 97.5% for urban areas, and 93.9% for rural areas As the 2009 Census mentioned, there are only under millions people who had never attended school, accounting for 5% of total population aged years and over This had a decline of percentage points as compared to that figure of the 1999 Census (6.9 millions people versus, occupying 10.0% of population aged years and over) This reflects considerably efforts of the Education Branch in diminishing number of people who had never attended school Yet, there is a differential in proportion of population who had never attended school by socio-economic region The Central Highlands and Northern Midlands and Mountains have the highest proportions of the population who have never attended school and higher than normal level of entire country, (9.1% and 10.0% respectively) These regions have large concentrations of ethnic minority people, complicated geography hindering mobility, and poorer economic conditions than other regions Among the 55.7 millions people aged and over who ever attended school at the census time-point, there are 88.4% who had ever attended the general education levels (27.0% for primary school and less; 42.8% for lowersecondary school; and 18.6% for higher-secondary school); 4.9% had ever attended the short-term and vocational training; 1.7% had ever attended college (including trade college) and 5% had ever attended universities and higher Among 19.2 millions people aged and over who attending school at the census time-point, there are 87.6% attending the general education levels (7.4% for pre-school, 34.7% for primary school, 28.2% for lower-secondary school and 17.2% for higher-secondary school); 2.7% attending the shortterm and vocational training; 3.2% attending the college (including trade college) and 6.6.% attending universities and higher There are considerable regional disparities in educational attainment The two regions with the highest levels of socio-economic development are also the locations with the highest proportion of population completed the highersecondary school and higher, 30.1% and 27.2% respectively, namely the Red River Delta and the Southeast Conversely, the Mekong River Delta has the highest proportion of population who had not completed primary education (32.8%), followed by the Central Highlands (25.7%) 18 In order to ensure international standards, as in the year 1999, this census only collected information on the technical and professional degrees or certificates of people at 15 years and more, meaning those who had ever trained in professional or technical skills A person is defined as having “Short-term training level”, if his/her highest professional and technical qualification was a certificate from a short-term training course or vocational training course of less than months A person is defined as having “Vocational degree”, if his/her highest professional and technical qualification was obtained from a vocational training course or trade vocational training course A person is defined as having “College level”, if his/her highest professional and technical qualification was obtained as a degree from a college or trade college course A person is defined as having “Bachelor and higher level”, if he/she was trained and received a university degree of bachelor, master or doctor Results of the expanded census sample show that there are 8.6 million people being educated, making up 13.3% of total population from 15 years and over; of which 2.6% ever graduated short-term training, 4.7% vocational school, 1.6% colleges, 4.2% universities and 0.2% post-graduation People aged 15 years and over not yet provided with professional and technical training in the whole country still make up a high proportion (86.7%), lowest in the Red River Delta (80.6%) and highest in the Mekong River Delta (93.4%) A high proportion of the people who had not received professional and technical training are individuals working in the agricultureforestry-fishing Among people from 15 years of age and over, people receiving professional and technical training are 25.3% in urban areas (an increase of percentage points in comparison with 1999) and 8% in rural areas (an increase of percentage points as compared to the year 1999) The rate of people provided with vocational training and below in urban area is double that in rural areas, but in terms of college level and above, it is five times higher in urban areas than in rural areas However, it is easy to recognize that proportion of population with technical/professional qualifications training is quite low (13.3%) This figure reflects not-high quality of Vietnam education Furthermore, one concern is that there is a decline in number of population attending the short-term and vocational training but an increased tendency of number of population attending college and university Disability status 19 In the 2009 Census, there are questions on disability of major functions: vision, hearing, movement (walking) and cognition (paying attention to) These questions are asked for members aged years and over of the household Disability is classified into the following types: “No difficulty”, “Difficulty”, “Very difficulty” and “Unable” A person is defined as “With no disability” if he/she has all above-mentioned functions classified into “No difficulty”; and a person is defined as “No ability of vision or hearing or movement or cognition” if he/she has at least one of the mentioned functions classified into “Unable” Data show that there are 92.2% of population aged and over with no disability That figure for male is 92.9% and for female is 91.5% Proportion of population aged and over with no ability of vision or hearing or movement or cognition is 4.9 per thousand This proportion has no nearly differential by sex (male: 4.8 and female: 5.0 per thousand) For investigating people with at least one type of difficulty from “Difficulty and over” (ability of vision or hearing or movement or cognition), there are 6.1 millions population aged and over in entire country (accounting for 7.8% of population aged and over) This disability rate of male is 7.1%, of female is 8.5%, of urban area is 6.4% and of rural area is 8.4% Some specific characteristics on labour and employment 20 According to International Labour Organization (ILO) recommendations and in response to the demands of labour market studies, this census applied the concept of “current economic activities” (instead of the concept of “usual economic activities” as before) with an observation time of days before the census point time Indicators of labour force in this report are calculated to the population in the working ages (male: 15-59; female: 15-54) At hour of 01/4/2009, there were 43.9 millions people in the whole country in the working ages and working, making up 51.2% of the population; of which there are 12.0 millions people in urban areas (27.3%), 31.9 millions in rural areas (72.7%) Female labourers occupy 46.6% This is highest in the Red River Delta (9.8 millions people, or 50.2% of population in the region), 10 the lowest in the Central Highlands (2.6 millions people or occupying 51.3% of population in the region) There is an evident shift of labour between economy industries during the last 10 years At present, the agricultural-forestry-fishing sector (Zone 1) makes up 51.9% of workers; the industrial and construction sector (Zone II) makes up 21.5%; and the services sector (Zone III) makes up 26.5% (whereas the labour structure of the 1999 Census was 69.4%, 14.9% and 15.7% respectively) 21 The labour force participation rate is one of the most general measures of the extent of the population’s participation in the labour force It is defined as the percentage of the population accounted for by the labour force to the population Data of the 2009 Census indicates that out of a total of 64.3 millions people aged 15 years and older more than three-fourths (76.5%) participated in the labour force The labour force participation rate of male (81.8%) is higher than that of female (71.4%) and varies across regions The labour force participation rate in 2009 for the population in rural areas was higher than for urban areas by up to 14 percentage points (80.6% compared to 67.1%) Housing status of households 22 In the 2009 Population and Housing Census, along with the information of population, there are many questions to collect information of housing Dwelling house is a construction work with three main structures: wall, roof, floor and is used for habitation Dwelling rooms need to satisfy conditions: (1) having a wall height of at least 2.1 metres; and (2) having a floor area of at least square metres Among households having houses, 46.3% of households have permanent house, 37.9% having semi-permanent one, 8.0% having less-permanent one, and 7.8% having simple one There is a quite evident differential in type of housing by region (reflecting housing quality) The Red River Delta has the highest proportion of permanent housing (90.4%), that figure is the lowest for the Mekong River Delta (7.9%) Inversely, simple house are most common in the Mekong River Delta (comprising 22.2%), and the least in the Red River Delta (0.2%) 23 In terms of housing ownership, private houses make up 92.8%, individually rented or borrowed ones make up 6.5%, and other types of ownership are not 11 significant Proportion of private houses in urban area is lower than that of rural area, 85.5% versus 96,0%, respectively 24 The average house floor area per capita of the whole country is 16.7 square metres, of which that figure of urban area is higher than that of rural area, 19.2 and 15.7 square metres, respectively There is a differential in average house floor area per capita by region This figure is the highest in the Southeast region (17,4m2) and the lowest in the Central Highlands (14.8m2) 25 Classification of houses by duration since first used shows that there are 5.2% of houses first used before 1975, 44.6% first used during the period 19751999, and 50.2% of houses first used from 2000 until now As compared with the 1999 Census, data from the 2009 Census indicates a more rapid speed of housing construction with more quantity and better quality However, there is also a differential in the proportion of dwellings put into use from the year 2000 to the present Data shows that this proportion is the highest in the Mekong River Delta (62.7%), followed by Central Highlands (62.0%) This figure is the lowest in the Red River Delta (38.5%), followed by North and South Central Coast (44,5%) 26 Housing conditions of inhabitants can be assessed through housing area The data indicate that in 2009 Census, for entire country, the proportion of households living in dwellings with housing area 60m2 and over accounts for the largest share (51.5%) of all households with a dwelling, and in urban areas this share is 56.2%, higher than rural areas (49.6%) After 10 years, the proportion of households living in dwellings with housing area 60m2 and over has more than doubled, from 24.2% to 51.5% This is a success in the effort to implement the Government’s residential housing development strategy Nevertheless, after 10 years, the proportion of households living in cramped living quarters (below 15m2) has not declined substantially (1999: 2.2% and 2009: 2.4%) 27 Apart from that, in order to assess the quality of life of people, the population and housing census this time also collected some information on major living facilities of households As a result, 86.7% of households use a sanitary water source, 54.0% use hygienic toilets, 96.1% use network electricity for lighting, 86.9% have televisions and 45.7% have land-line telephones In general, the proportion of using living facilities of households in urban area is higher than that in rural area 12 Summary: Results of the 2009 Population and Housing Census have represented a general picture of Vietnam’s population in a lively and profound way It reveals the great achievements of our country in the implementation of renovation policies, resolutions of the Ninth and Tenth Party Congress, and the socio-economic development strategy during the period 2001-2010 Over the past ten years, we have not only implemented very well targets in reducing fertility rate, maintaining and stabilizing population size but also fostered advancement in improving population quality of the country The rate of literacy has increased much more quickly than that of previous census and has risen to 94.0% of the population over 15 years of age The gap in the literacy rate has become narrower between rural and urban areas, and between males and females and that gap is no longer found at all among young people The number and rate of schooling at general education have increased, resulting in a number of millions people who never attended schools, representing 5% of the population aged and over and mainly seen in old ages The population proportion of children age groups has declined sharply, the dependency ratio rapid declined Life expectancy at birth has continued to rise and has reached at 72.8 years Vietnam’s population is entering a period of “Demographic Bonus” After 10 years, the labour structure has a positive shift from Zone I (the agricultural-forestry-fishing sector) to Zone II (the industrial and construction sector) and Zone III (the services sector) The above information only generalizes the main results drawing from the census data In reality, there are many more important and interesting issues to continue to discover and analyze more details The dissemination of the analysis report on major findings and upcoming release of monographs of in-depth analysis of the census will meet basic demands of the above requirements The Central Population and Housing Census Steering Committee would like to strongly recommend all branches, levels and researchers in and outside the country to continue the utilization of this valuable material source in their work CENTRAL POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS STEERING COMMITTEE 13 Annex POPULATION BY SEX AND ADMINISTRATION UNIT, APRIL 2009 Unit: Person No R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R1 R2
