Vietnam Scraps Two-Child Policy to Combat Low Birth Rates

Vietnam Scraps Two-Child Policy to Combat Low Birth Rates

Vietnam used to tell families they could only have two kids.

Now, they've changed the rule.

They're worried because not enough babies are being born, which could mean not enough young people to work and help older people later on.

Families are having fewer kids because it's expensive to raise them, especially in cities.

The government hopes this change will encourage more families to have children and help the country in the future.
