The results of the 2019 census will also serve as a basis for initial assessment of implementation of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDSs), which Vietnam has already committed to, as well as building statistical databases on population and serve as a source of information to support the updating of the national database.

The census will be carried out during 25 days. The preliminary results will be announced in July, and the final results in the second quarter of 2020. Reports on thematic analysis will be made public in the fourth quarter of the same year.
