00:00 The government has set a goal of being a high income country by 2045.

00:05 By that stage,

00:06 Vietnam will find itself an aging country as well.

00:10 This means a different approach to

00:13 managing demography,

00:14 a different approach to managing economic development.

00:17 And in particular,

00:19 it means an emphasis on investing in human capital,

00:23 and it means that we have to invest in human capital in a number of ways.

00:27 If we are going to have fewer workers in the future,

00:30 each worker has to be able to deliver more.

00:33 They need to have higher skills than they do at the moment.

00:36 Well,

00:36 one area that we need to pay attention to is getting a

00:40 strong pension fund in place.

00:43 It means expanding the coverage of the pension system.

00:47 And it means

00:49 upping the contributions to the pension scheme.

00:52 These will have to be tackled now

00:54 in order for the pension scheme to be in the right place.

00:57 We also suggest that attention is paid to

01:00 the kind of services that

01:02 older population will be needing.

01:04 So this includes

01:07 Healthcare services,

01:08 of course.

01:09 At the moment the healthcare services are

01:11 very preoccupied with managing the COVID crisis,

01:14 but thinking forwards,

01:16 we need to be thinking about the

01:17 kind of health services that elderly populations require

01:21 and start building the capacity for those services to be in place.

01:25 We also need to think about broader care services for the older population.

01:31 And much of this can be provided by the private sector,

01:33 as long as there is an adequate

01:35 and strong regulatory framework in place.

01:39 So there's more,

01:39 more details available in this report.

01:42 We invite you to read it and we invite you to send us your comments and thoughts.

01:45 Thank you.

The government has set a goal of being a high income country by 2045. By that stage, Vietnam will find itself an aging country as well. This means a different approach to managing demography, a different approach to managing economic development. And in particular, it means an emphasis on investing in human capital, and it means that we have to invest in human capital in a number of ways. If we are going to have fewer workers in the future, each worker has to be able to deliver more. They need to have higher skills than they do at the moment. Well, one area that we need to pay attention to is getting a strong pension fund in place. It means expanding the coverage of the pension system. And it means upping the contributions to the pension scheme. These will have to be tackled now in order for the pension scheme to be in the right place. We also suggest that attention is paid to the kind of services that older population will be needing. So this includes Healthcare services, of course. At the moment the healthcare services are very preoccupied with managing the COVID crisis, but thinking forwards, we need to be thinking about the kind of health services that elderly populations require and start building the capacity for those services to be in place. We also need to think about broader care services for the older population. And much of this can be provided by the private sector, as long as there is an adequate and strong regulatory framework in place. So there's more, more details available in this report. We invite you to read it and we invite you to send us your comments and thoughts. Thank you.
