Speaking of Vietnamese brides, I believe everyone has heard of it. As of 2015, the number of Vietnamese brides in China has exceeded 100,000, distributed in various regions of Tiannanhaibei, and it continues to grow. People may think that vietnam has more women than men, and only then will girls marry out of bounds. In fact, this is not the case, Vietnam has a total population of more than 97 million people, due to the serious preference for sons and daughters, resulting in a serious imbalance in the proportion of men and women in Vietnam. According to the current figures, by 2025, there will be 4 million more Men than Vietnamese women, which is a very unbalanced number. Today, we will talk about the reasons for Vietnam's preference for sons and daughters, and the consequences of serious imbalances.
Vietnam was originally a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty and was the core vassal state. For this reason, Vietnam is heavily influenced by the Culture of the Central Plains in all aspects. In ancient history, Vietnam learned from and learned from the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of clothing, culture, system and other aspects. Even traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Spring Festival are also used in Vietnam. Under the influence of the Central Plains culture, the problem of son preference in Vietnam is more serious. In modern history, Vietnam has become a French colony. Although France ruled for decades and influenced Vietnam in all aspects, it was not as edified by the culture of the Central Plains for thousands of years.
After the outbreak of World War II, France, which claimed to have the first army on the European continent, was quickly defeated, and Japan in East Asia took over Vietnam and began a short reign of only four years. After the end of World War II, Vietnam planned to develop independently, while France, which had just regained its country, planned to re-establish its rule in Southeast Asia. After the collapse of negotiations between France and Vietnam, France began to draw troops from all over the country to Vietnam, and in the mid-1940s, Vietnam began a war of resistance against France. From military command to weaponry, Vietnam is far inferior to its opponents. Thus, in the late 1940s, the Vietnamese army retreated to the northern mountains to fight guerrillas.
After entering the 1950s, Vietnam received large-scale assistance from various allies and greatly increased its strength. Vietnam began a partial counterattack, especially in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, which wiped out more than 10,000 French troops and severely damaged France. After this, France withdrew its troops from Vietnam in its entirety. But just over five months later, the United States intervened in Vietnam. At first, the United States only supported the South Vietnamese regime, because the South Vietnamese regime could not count on it. In 1962, the United States began to send troops directly to the war. The Soviet Union originally had almost no aid to Vietnam, and from the mid-1960s onwards, in order to use the war to deplete the national strength of the United States, the Soviet Union assisted Vietnam on a large scale, becoming Vietnam's largest donor. The main energy of the United States in Europe, simply can not invest too much power in Asia, Vietnam received a steady stream of aid, the war into the stage of attrition.
In 1973, the distraught United States decided to withdraw its troops from Vietnam completely. In 1975, Vietnam completed the reunification of the country's north and south. At that time, the population of Vietnam was only more than 40 million. The long war caused a large number of casualties, especially young and middle-aged people, and the losses were very large, and more than 1 million war widows appeared throughout Vietnam. At this stage, the number of women in Vietnam's population ratio is indeed significantly higher than that of men.
However, with the stabilization of the situation in the country, the war has gradually disappeared. Vietnam's population began to grow continuously, and it grew very fast. At that time, according to Vietnam's food production and economic strength, it was no longer possible to feed a larger population. Therefore, in 1988, Vietnam introduced the family population planning system, which is equivalent to Vietnam's reform and opening up. According to this system, each family in Vietnam can only have 2 children. After the collision between the family population planning system and the traditional idea of son preference, it quickly created a situation in which there were more men and fewer women.
In Vietnamese families, if the first one gives birth to a girl, then the second one must have a boy. If it was still a girl, she would definitely find a way to beat it. The proliferation of such families has resulted in a marked imbalance in the proportion of males and females born in Viet Nam. Especially among young Vietnamese people after the 1990s, the number of boys is significantly higher than that of girls. In 2000, Viet Nam counted the ratio of male to female birth rates from 106 to 100. By 2016, that number had become 112 to 100. The imbalance between boys and girls is further exacerbated. In other words, it means that there will be a large number of "single sticks" in Vietnam. ”
According to the current ratio, by 2025, the total number of men in Vietnam will be more than 4 million more than women. Among them, most of them are young people of the new generation. This is a very serious problem, our population is about 1.4 billion people, and there are more than 31 million more men than women. Magnifying Vietnam's population figure 15 times is equivalent to the emergence of more than 60 million "single sticks." "It can be seen that the imbalance between men and women in Vietnam is far more complicated than in China. In view of these circumstances, Viet Nam is discussing the need to abolish the family population planning policy. Let's look at another problem, which is the massive exodus of Vietnamese girls.
In fact, the problem of Vietnamese brides does not only occur in our country. In Countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Thailand, there are a large number of Vietnamese brides. For example, in Japan, those vietnamese female students basically choose to stay in Japan, and the number of actual returns to Japan is very low. In the final analysis, it is mainly caused by the low wages and benefits of Vietnam and the insufficient material level. In Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam and the largest city, a month's salary for an ordinary worker is equivalent to a little more than 2,000 yuan. In other cities in Vietnam, the average worker only works between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan. As a result of these problems, the outflow of Girls from Vietnam has been caused.
Viet Nam already has a problem with a significantly higher number of boys than girls, which is exacerbated by the massive outflow of girls. In the vast rural areas of Vietnam, traditional concepts are particularly serious, and many Vietnamese girls drop out of school to work in the family farms or in the cities. A new generation of Young Vietnamese is eager for a better life, and many Vietnamese students choose to learn Japanese or Korean because they can work in well-paid foreign companies. As for Vietnamese girls, they chose to stay abroad to work or marry abroad. Among them, China is the first choice, because our country is a neighbor of Vietnam and the distance is relatively close. After decades of development, our economy has reached a very high level and has great attraction for Vietnamese.
However, Vietnam is also changing, and the preference for sons over daughters among the new generation of young people in Vietnam has improved significantly. Many young Vietnamese have completely different ideas from the previous generation, and with the diversification of information, among vietnamese young people, there are "Dinks", "unmarried people" and so on. In 2018, Vietnam's total economic volume reached more than 240 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 1.6 trillion yuan, which is the same as the total economic volume of China's Guizhou Province. There are many more stories about Vietnam, and the author will talk to you slowly in future articles.
