letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and requires a large labor force So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men By ending the two- child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population When the government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation in May 2017 While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam However, these are only temporary solutions Question 39: The best title for this passage could

The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical at first, especially once the pressures of study and coursework or exams begin to mount up However, Michelle Wright, CEO of charity support organization Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way street "I think it is fine for undergraduates to approach volunteering as a symbiotic relationship where doing good is just one part of the motivation for reaching personal and professional goals." Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), says: "Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as building confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing those all- important 'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig, graduate HR manager, agrees that volunteering can help your employment prospects "Volunteering can demonstrate positive personality traits and skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in the local community Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more varied At Bath Spa University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing everything from working on local environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly ”Quite often there can be a divide between students and permanent residents," says students' union president Amy Dawson, "but if students invest a little time now, they will be giving something back to the local community and will reap the benefits in the future." “You might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program At Lancaster, volunteering is linked into academic modules in some cases", explains Fox "This has multiple wins Students get to apply their learning in the classroom and share their interests with children in local schools or community organizations, while schools gain skilled students with a passion for a subject that enthuses their pupils."

Should we demand more stories about those who fail the exam but succeed in life or about those who quit university education at some level and do something else unconventional?
