Vietnam Population 1990-2100
Vietnam's Population Surge: From 25.1 Million in 1950 to 98.9 Million in 2023
Vietnam's population has witnessed a remarkable increase from approximately 25.1 million in 1950 to 98.9 million in 2023, representing a nearly 300% growth. The recent trend from 2020 to 2023 shows consistent upward movement, with the population rising from 96.6 million to 98.9 million.
Historical Trends: Post-War Baby Boom and Sustained Growth
In 1975, a pivotal year marking the end of the Vietnam War, the country's population stood at around 47 million. The post-war period saw significant population growth driven by reconstruction efforts. By 1981, just six years later, the population had already surpassed 50 million. The late 1990s marked another milestone, with the population exceeding 70 million by the turn of the millennium. From 1975 to 2019, Vietnam's population more than doubled, climbing to over 96 million.
Future Projections: Continued Growth and Eventual Stabilization
Looking ahead, Vietnam's population is projected to continue its upward trajectory, albeit at a slower pace. By 2030, the population is estimated to reach 102.7 million, and by 2050, it is expected to peak at around 107 million. However, projections indicate a gradual decline thereafter, with the population estimated at 91 million by 2100.
