레슨 만드는 중...
1
Asia's latest success story isn't here.
2
Or even here.
3
It's Vietnam.
4
This Southeast Asian nation is experiencing a period of rapid economic growth.
5
But as the country grows richer, it is also growing older.
6
The government has set a target of reaching upper-middle income status by 2030 and high income status by 2045.
7
This means that by 2045, Vietnam needs to have an income per capita that is 3.3 times higher than what it is now.
8
In a race against the clock, can Vietnam get rich before it gets old?
9
This sentiment among young people in Vietnam has experts and the government worried.
10
Fewer couples are deciding to have children.
11
Vietnam's fertility rate sank to a record low of 1.91 births per woman in 2024,
12
a figure that puts it below the replacement rate of 2.1.
13
In 2034, we will be an age country where we will reach 14% of the population aged 65 and over.
14
But at that time, from now to there, only eight years.
15
So we expect to be a high-income country or not.
16
It depends on how we grow from now until then.
17
Vietnam's aging population woes could mean big problems down the line, as the country has evolved into a global manufacturing powerhouse.
18
It has a strategic geographical location and low labor costs, which have proved advantageous in trade wars.
19
U.S imports from China have plummeted since the Trump administration's first trade war.
20
The annualized figure of 550 billion U.S dollars in 2018 was down to 270 billion dollars by early 2026.
21
In contrast, imports from Vietnam surged from 50 billion U.S dollars to $240 billion during the same period.
22
But the falling number of working-age people could prove to be a chokehold on its booming manufacturing industry.
23
Last year, Vietnam scrapped its long-standing two-child policy.
24
Its new population law, which took effect on July 1st, is designed to nudge couples towards having larger families.
25
The legislation offers things like seven months of maternity leave for a second child, lower costs for prenatal and newborn screenings,
26
cash bonuses of up to 6 million dong, and priority housing for young parents who have two children before the age of 35.
27
But will it be enough to reverse the population decline?
28
It's a big issue that is to help people to live their children.
29
That's a big issue to encourage everyone, children to live their children.
30
But there are some points that the money is not enough, so the movement is not enough.
31
It's enough to encourage everyone to live.
32
Vietnam is looking to solve another problem that could potentially keep it from hitting its 2045 financial target.
33
The country's informal workforce makes up around 63% of the total labor force.
34
That means well over 33 million workers operate outside formal regulatory frameworks.
35
And they don't have pensions set up for when they retire.
36
Ministry of Home Affairs also tries the best to include people from the informal sector to the social protection system.
37
As you know, informal workers usually don't participate in any social insurance system.
38
And if they don't participate, meaning that they will get owed without any kind of social protection benefit.
39
And it will become like a very huge burden for the future generation to pay tax in order to support them.
40
The United Nations Population Fund found that 76% of Vietnam's elderly population do not have pensions.
41
Vietnam revised its social insurance law in July 2025 to specifically bring informal,
42
part-time and household workers under the national safety net.
43
The revision reduced the minimum number of years required to contribute to social insurance from 20 to 15,
44
making it more possible for aging informal workers to secure a future retirement pension.
45
Last year we had Resolution 72 by the Central Party saying that we have universal healthcare for everyone.
46
And we have a particular program for taking care of older persons.
47
So we hope that older persons will be accessed more easily to all healthcare services at different places in Vietnam.
48
And then they can improve their health status.
49
So, can Vietnam break the trend and continue to get richer as it gets older?
50
Dong says yes, so long as it plays its cards right.
51
If we have a healthy older person, I don't think that is a really big concept.
52
Because healthy older person, they continue contributing to the country.
53
Because they are healthy, so we will not have health care costs as much as we expect
54
if the older person is sick.
55
That is why it depends on how older person at the time of Vietnam reached the age population threshold.
56
We will see whether Vietnam faces a lot of problems or maybe opportunities for each population.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
