TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The government of Vietnam officially revoked the policy to limit the number of children in a family to a maximum of two. The policy was annulled on Wednesday last week, June 4, 2025. Vietnam is currently struggling to reverse the declining domestic birth rates.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnam abolished its long-standing two-child limit Tuesday to try and reverse declining birth rates and ease the pressures of an aging population. The National Assembly passed amendments scrapping rules that limit families to having one or two children, state media Vietnam News Agency reported Wednesday.

A declining birth rate led lawmakers to approve a new policy on Tuesday that lifts the limit on the number of children many families may have.
