(DTTG) - Abstract: Based on the results of the 2019 and 2024 surveys on the socio-economic status of 53 ethnic minority groups (to be released in late November 2025), this article analyzes fertility levels, changing trends, and disparities among these ethnic minority groups within the context of population aging in Vietnam. The results indicate a downward trend in fertility rates across ethnic groups, though with significant variation. A pattern of early childbearing remains prevalent, particularly among those aged 20-24, which contributes to maintaining a young population structure in ethnic minority and mountainous regions. However, high fertility rates and a large young population do not equate to high-quality human resources, as early childbearing is often linked to limited access to education, employment and social services. Based on this, the article proposes a policy approach centered on targeted interventions and the adjustment of reproductive behaviors. It emphasizes the role of education, livelihood development and reproductive health services tailored to the specific cultural characteristics of different ethnic groups with the dual aim of adapting to population aging and ensuring sustainable development.

(DTTG) - Abstract: Organic farming is emerging as an inevitable development trend aimed at achieving a green, safe, and sustainable agricultural sector. The Northern mountainous region holds significant potential for organic agriculture development, thanks to its favorable natural ecological conditions, abundant land resources, high biodiversity and the local knowledge systems of ethnic minority communities. This article primarily analyzes the current situation, opportunities and challenges regarding organic agriculture development in this region. By synthesizing research, policies and practical models, the article argues that organic agriculture not only enhances the value of agricultural products and boosts farmers’ incomes but also protects the environment, facilitates climate change adaptation and promotes sustainable development in the Northern mountainous region. Based on this, the author proposes several solutions to enhance the effectiveness of organic agricultural development in the coming period.
