Viet Nam’s population, which is growing at a rate of about 2.1 percent annually, stands of over 76 million. The country has an overall population density of 225 people per square kilometer, although in some areas that figure stands at over 1,000 while in isolated areas the number are significantly less.
Ten percent of the population is made up ethnic minority groups. The vast majority of these people live in mountainous regions. In the early 1990s, the number of households living below the poverty line in these highland areas was much higher than the national average.
The reasons for the scale of this poverty are varied – lack of education, high birth rates, and poor communication and transportation. Droughts, storms and floods cause even greater hardship for these isolated communities.
