Bossone, Biagio | Cirasino, Massimo
The HIFU development project for Vietnam looks at statistics of general census of 1999 showing that population of Ho Chi Minh city includes 23 different ethnic groups. The Kinh (or Vietnamese) is the largest one, accounting for 90,9 percent in ethnic composition of the city. Chinese occupies the second place by population, making up 8,52 percent of the city's total The Chams take the third position, accounting for 0,1 percent only, which are followed by Khomers contributing 0,09 percent of the total City's population. Tays, Nung, Dao are ethnic minorities immigrated from the northern provinces, having population more or less than one thousand people in the City. The remained part is either foreigners or short-term or long- term migrants of the City. Although the Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City make up a small part of the city's population, they are not considered as ethnic minority. Being the most developed and dynamic city of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City attracts immigration from all provinces and cities throughout the country.
