Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of Vietnam and how it changes over time. It is published by the General Statistics Office (GSO) and is a structural indicator that underpins many economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses and from statistics on births, deaths and net migration, which are used to update the figure between censuses. It is usually reported as a headcount at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape potential growth, the labour market and consumption. In Vietnam, a large and still relatively young population underpins the labour supply and its appeal for manufacturing investment.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series: inter-census figures are estimates subject to revision once new censuses or better migration statistics become available, and do not fully capture the strong internal migration to the cities.
