Vietnam

With a life expectancy of 74.59 years, Vietnam performs well above the global average and is particularly high for a country with a GDP per capita of just over $4,300. This suggests effective public health measures and basic sanitation, despite a relatively high infant mortality rate (14.000 per 1,000 live births).

Vietnam's fertility rate stands at 1.91 children per woman, which is below the standard replacement level (2.1). This indicates a maturing population structure and suggests that, barring migration, the population will begin to decline or age rapidly in the coming decades, a trend often associated with much wealthier nations.

Nearly half of Vietnam's land area (47.445%) is covered by forest. This high percentage suggests successful reforestation or conservation efforts, contrasting with many rapidly industrializing nations that often experience significant deforestation.

Vietnam has achieved near-total electrification, with 99.800% of the population having access to electricity. This high rate is a critical indicator of development and infrastructure success, especially notable given its lower-middle-income status and relatively low urbanization rate.
