According to Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Huynh Vinh Ai, the structure of Vietnamese families has seen changes due to impacts of modern life, industrialisation and global integration.
Numerous problems such as divorce and homosexual marriage have emerged in Vietnamese family life while domestic violence is on the increase, he said.
The aforementioned problems affect the future of Vietnamese families that contribute to the country’s general development, he added.
