The gender imbalance is ubiquitous in both cities and rural areas as a consequence of technology abuse. Delegates called for a comprehensive approach to address the problem, including laws and regulations, communications and education. A member of the National Assembly Committee on Social Issues, Nguyen Thi Kha, suggested incentives to families with only baby girls in terms of welfare and school allowance: “The National Assembly and the government will fine-tune their population policies and issue welfare incentives to school girls, including university tuition exemption, insurance coverage and additional pension schemes. This should be done quickly to achieve timely impact.”
