Paper Abstract
Until not long ago, scanty information on the profile of the Vietnamese population and the poor quality of the available data have complicated efforts to present reliable estimates of mortality levels in Vietnam. Only recently, have official data on Vietnamese mortality become available through the 1979 and the 1989 population censuses. This paper makes use of such data to estimate Vietnam s mortality levels during the intercensal period.
