Regarding this issue, Vietnam Social Security responds as follows:

At Point e, Clause 1, Article 31 and Clause 2, Article 34 of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance, male employees who are paying social insurance and whose wives give birth are entitled to 5 working days of maternity leave.

In case the wife has to give birth by caesarean section or gives birth before 32 weeks, she is entitled to 7 working days off. In case the wife gives birth to twins, she is entitled to 10 working days off, and from triplets onwards, she is entitled to 3 additional working days off for each additional child.
