Vietnam officially entered the population aging phase since 2011 and is one of the countries with the fastest aging rate in the world. The question is what to prepare for population aging, when the birth rate and death rate are getting lower and lower, while the average life expectancy is increasing.

Rapid population aging
According to statistics in 2023, Vietnam's population will reach about 100.3 million people, of which more than 16 million are elderly. Forecasts from the Ministry of Health show that by 2038, Vietnam will officially enter the aging population stage, transitioning from an "aging" to an "old" society, with more than 21 million elderly people, accounting for nearly 20% of the total population.
This is a reality, because the proportion of Vietnam's population aged 60 and over increases every year, specifically in 2010 it was 9.3%, by 2022 it was 12% and this rate is forecasted to be 20.7% in 2040 and 24.8% in 2049. This is the stage when Vietnam enters the aging population period, for every 5 people there will be one person over 60 years old.
The story of population aging was also shared by Mr. Pham Chanh Trung, Head of the Department of Population - Family Planning of Ho Chi Minh City at the conference on adapting to population aging in Ho Chi Minh City: Approaching from health care activities for the elderly in the area, recently organized by the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City. According to Mr. Trung, Vietnam officially entered the population aging stage since 2011 and is one of the countries with the fastest aging rate in the world. With the current rapid population aging rate, not only does it cause the risk of labor shortage in the future, population aging also increases pressure on the health care system and the social security, health care, and entertainment systems. Some studies show that for the elderly, they care about three things: how long to live, where to live, and how to die? Thus, policy makers must create living models that are suitable for the elderly, such as community-based health care models. It is necessary to communicate the joyful acceptance of old age, helping them enter the stage of successful aging.
Join hands to care for the elderly
Faced with this situation, experts have proposed many solutions to build and develop the nursing home model. However, both in terms of geriatric treatment facilities, care staff and especially the number of nursing homes in Ho Chi Minh City is currently very limited in both quantity and quality. According to a report by the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City has about 20 social assistance centers for the elderly, including 8 non-public fee-based elderly care centers. In addition to the long-standing nursing centers, from August 1, 2024, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City has just granted an operating license to the Tam An Elderly Care Center. This is the first private fee-based nursing home in Thu Duc City.
