Vietnam expects 100 millionth citizen in April  

So many countries are facing decline because fewer people are choosing to have children. The US, Canada, Australia, the UK, Germany, Japan... there are so many! 

I didn't realize Vietnam's population was getting so big. It's definitely a good thing that the country has been able to support that kind of growth.

I wonder if this increase in population will put a strain on Vietnam's resources and infrastructure. It'll be important for the government to plan ahead to ensure the country can accommodate everyone.

The problem is that you have 100 million people on 331 000 square km, with, in addition, 80% mountains. 2 rice crops a year in the two deltas (Red River and Mekong), one everywhere else. If it continues at that rate, feeding all the people is going to be a huge problem.

I think it is incredible to have this level of growth but it is troubling to see so many nations not having children. It will get to a point where there just won't be enough workers to actually sustain everything. 

They know a decline is coming so I wonder if this will cause other problems. I know people in the US, Japan, and many other nations have sited that this would be bad for the economy moving forward. They say without enough workers, the systems in place cannot sustain themselves.
