Workshop discuss family development in Vietnam
The event was organised by the Institute of Family and Gender
Studies (IFGS) under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences.
IFGS Director Nguyen Huu Minh said the workshop is a good chance to
assess and analyse achievements and challenges in building and
developing the family in Vietnam in the Renewal period, particularly
over the past decade.
At the event, Vietnamese scholars
focused on analysing structure, function, value and diversification of
families in Vietnam as well as policies and action plans for family
development in the country.
Meanwhile, foreign guests
discussed the important role of public policies in enhancing gender
equality and policies on care in socialist countries.
Participants said that knowledge of changes in family size and structure
in all countries in the context of modernisation and integration is an
important foundation to map out measures to develop well-off, modern and
happy families in Vietnam. -VNA
