Presenting the report, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan said that the Government submitted to the National Assembly Standing Committee to amend Clause 1, Article 1 of the Population Ordinance No. 08/2008/PLUBTVQH12, amending Article 10 of the 2003 Population Ordinance: "Decision on time and spacing of births" to "Decision on time of birth, number of children and spacing between births appropriate to the age, health status, conditions of study, labor, work, income and child-rearing of individuals and couples on the basis of equality".
At the same time, remove clause 2: "Have one or two children, except in special cases prescribed by the Government "; keep clause 3.
This amendment aims to overcome the fertility gap between regions and groups, and avoid the fertility rate falling too low and not reaching the replacement level - which could have negative impacts on sustainable economic , social, security and defense development in the future.
"Amending legal documents regulating the number of children is one of the contents aimed at maintaining the replacement birth rate, avoiding the birth rate from continuing to decrease in the coming time," said Minister Dao Hong Lan.
Agreeing with the amendment of the Population Ordinance, Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Society Nguyen Dac Vinh said that this amendment is only a short-term solution.
To comprehensively solve population issues and complete population goals and tasks, Mr. Nguyen Dac Vinh requested the drafting agency to urgently complete the draft dossier of the Population Law to fully institutionalize the Party's viewpoints and policies; ensure the quality and progress of drafting the Population Law to submit to the National Assembly Standing Committee and the National Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents.
At the meeting, with 100% of members present in agreement, the National Assembly Standing Committee passed the Ordinance amending Article 10 of the Population Ordinance No. 06/2003/PL-UBTVQH11, which was amended and supplemented by Ordinance No. 08/2008/PL-UBTVQH12.
