The event, co-organised by the General Department of Population and Family Planning (GDPFP) and the Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee, attracted nearly 1,000 representatives and staff from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and 63 provinces and cities across the country.
Nha Trang city hosted a meeting on July 10 to mark this year’s World Population Day (July 11) themed “Investing in young people”.
Addressing the event, UNFPA Chief Representative in Vietnam Arthur Erken said Vietnam has entered the “golden population structure” period with a high ratio of young workers aged between 10 and 24 constituting nearly 40% of national population.
This offers a good opportunity for Vietnam to boost sustainable socio-economic development by fully utilizing young people’s strengths, he added.
According to GDPFP General Director Duong Quoc Trong, Vietnam is implementing Party and State policies and laws on population and youth work in the 2011-2020 period under the message of World Population Day.
The country will create favourable conditions for young people to become involved in learning, scientific research, and cultural and sport activities, ensuring their rights and obligations.
Within the framework of the event, a wide range of activities were also held, including a parade highlighting media events on population in island areas and a seminar on population and family planning in 2014.
