A POPULATION SURVEY IN VIET NAM

Abstract

A final report dealing with a survey of population data available on Viet Nam and the conclusions tentatively derived from these. Gross estimates of population size are made; the composition of the population (one feature is the similarity of rural and urban areas); mortality figures, which are evaluated critically (some regional differences emerge); fertility (very high, with little differentiation between rural and urban birth rates); and population growth Section Two is a detailed outline of a plan for a demographic survey to obtain additional necessary population data. Objectives include determination of basic demographic parameters, determination of the structure of the population, establishment of differentials with respect to socio-economic factors and prediction of future demographic trends. A sampling approach design and a general plan with sample questionnaires for a household interview and fertility interview are presented.
