Abstract:

This document 1) presents the population policies of Australia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam in narrative form following a framework of country reports that outlines the population problems faced by the country (describing the current demographic situation, the underlying concept guiding the population policy, and a brief history of the population policy) and 2) provides information on specific population policies related to fertility, mortality, migration and population distribution, population structure, and any other aspects deemed important. The introduction to the report describes the reasons why it was formulated, provides a comparative profile of the demographic situation in the countries surveyed, including a table comparing selected demographic indicators, and summarizes each of the country reports.
