"Vietnam has scrapped a longstanding policy limiting families to two children, as the communist-run country grapples with a declining birthrate. State media announced on Wednesday that couples could make their own decisions about how many children to have, and how much time to wait between births, reversing a decades-old preference for one- or two-child families" (para 1-2).

Removing these policies benefits women by helping reduce gender-selective abortion/female infanticide and granting women more autonomy when making decisions about their family (LEN - CODER COMMENT).
