Village with no one having third child

This article in the Vietnam News describes how the Fatherland Front has encouraged the some villagers in the Central Province of Quang Tri to use birth control to adhere to the National Vietnamese two child policy. The name of the model is, 'Village with no one having third child.'

The successful application of the model has held child malnutrition rates constant at 20% in the villages where the model is being followed, which is lower than the average level of the province.

Bonuses are being offered to 'correct individual behaviour.' The goal is to raise the standard of living in rural areas and improve the quality of life.
