10. Summary of thesis results:

The topic "Family size in the process of urbanization in Kon Tum today" has most clearly described the family size in Kon Tum today. Through the analysis of the correlation with the size of the Central Highlands in general and the Central Highlands provinces in particular, the topic has shown the differences in family size in Kon Tum. At the same time, to assess the changes in family size in Kon Tum, the topic has analyzed the family size in Kon Tum over the years, from 2000 to 2013 through statistical data of two major surveys of the whole country: the 2009 Population and Housing Census and the Population Change and Family Planning Survey from 2000 to 2013. In addition, the topic also uses other statistical data such as the Statistical Yearbook to analyze the problem. This is also one of the differences of the topic compared to other studies on family size today.

The study "Family size in the current urbanization process in Kon Tum" shows that: the urbanization process with its basic characteristics has affected family size in Kon Tum in recent years. Through the analysis of the difference in family size in urban and rural areas, this has been clearly shown. Urban areas with clear characteristics of the urbanization process have affected family size, as evidenced by: family size in Kon Tum in urban areas has narrowed faster and family size is smaller than in rural areas. Modern family forms appear more and account for a higher proportion, gradually replacing traditional family forms. Meanwhile, in rural areas with the characteristics of rural economy, culture, and society; although family size has changed a lot from 2000 to 2013, it is still slow and not as clear as in urban areas.

Family size in Kon Tum is analyzed from two research aspects: first, family size research through large studies, large national censuses such as: Population and Housing Census (2009), Population Change and Family Planning Surveys (2000 - 2013) ...; second, the research also uses the results of a study with a small sample size to analyze and compare the implementation method and survey results. From there, it shows that: due to the difference in the way of selecting research objects, sampling methods, family size data in Kon Tum in general and the Central Highlands in particular in these two research aspects are different. This is also the reality that the research wants to analyze to most clearly generalize the current family size situation in Kon Tum. Specifically as follows:

Firstly, the family size in Kon Tum has generally been shrinking over the years in terms of the proportion of people in the household, the average number of people per household and the type of family. In both urban and rural areas, the family size has changed in the years 2000 to 2013 in the direction of: the number of members per household is getting smaller, the modern family type and the single family (one member) are increasingly accounting for a high proportion of the total number of households in the province; this means that: the traditional family type, multi-generational, with many people living together is gradually decreasing in proportion.

Second, the family size in urban areas is smaller than in rural areas while the population proportion is not much different. This shows that the gap between population growth rate and household growth rate in urban areas is getting wider than in rural areas.

Research on family size does not use the method of surveying data but uses available data, through information processing skills and problem analysis to create a data system over a long period of time, which has made the topic have the most in-depth analysis of family size and clearly shows the changes in family size in Kon Tum when approached from many different aspects. From there, we can see the changes in family size and the influence of urbanization on this change.

In addition, the topic has analyzed more deeply into the aspects of urbanization in relation to family size to see more clearly the impact of urbanization on family size. At the same time, the topic uses the method of population analysis and forecasting along with the research results collected over a long period of time on family size to make forecasts on population fluctuations as well as fluctuations in family size in Kon Tum in the next few years.

Thus, through the study of family size in Kon Tum, we have provided the most general and profound information about family size and family size change under the approach of urbanization research and Anthony Giddens's structural theory. Family size is affected by many factors, but urbanization is one of the factors that has the strongest influence on family size in recent years, especially in urban areas.

11. Practical applicability: The topic analyzes and describes family size and changes in family size in Kon Tum; at the same time, the topic has pointed out the aspects of urbanization affecting the change in family size in Kon Tum today. At the same time, the topic will also be a system of documents that are processed clearly, most comprehensively about family size in recent years through statistical data sources with large samples, and have close supervision on the reliability of information, used in many specialized and interdisciplinary analyses related to the issue of family size in the Central Highlands region in general and Kon Tum province in particular.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

Thread“Family size in Urbanization process in Kon Tum now” has described the family scale in Kon Tum nowadays in the most obvious way. Through analyzing the correlation between the scale in Central highlands in general and in central highland's Province in particular, the topic also revealed the difference about the family scale in Central highlands. At the same time, to assess the alteration of family scale in Kon Tum, the thread has been going deeply into analyzing the family scale in Kon Tum through a few years from 2000 to 2013, through the statistics of two large surveys of the country. of Population and Housing Survey 2009, and population dynamics investigation dynamics and family planning from the years 2000 to 2013. In addition, the thread also uses other statistics Statistical Yearbook to analyze problems.

Research "family size in the process of urbanization in Kon Tum now" shows that the process of urbanization with its basic characteristics that affects family size in Kon Tum through the years. Through analyzing the differences in family size in urban and rural areas, it has been made clearer. Urban areas with obvious characteristics of the process of urbanization has affected the family size with the evidence is: family size in Kon Tum in the metropolitan area is reduced faster and the family size is smaller than in rural. Family morphology appears more modernly and takes higher proportion, gradually replacing traditional forms of family. Meanwhile, rural areas with economic, cultural, social specifications and rural areas; family size despite changes from 2000 to 2013 but slow and not sharp as in urban areas. Family size in Kon Tum is analyzed from two perspectives studies: first, study family size through large studies; the census of the country, such as the Census of Population and Housing (2009), the Census population dynamics and family planning (2000-2013) ...; Second, the researchers also used the results of a study with a large sample size not to analyze and compare the implementation and the survey results. From there, we can see that due to differences in the method of selecting the object of study, the sampling method that family size data in Kon Tum in general and in particular in the Highlands two aspects of this research differences. This is also a fact that the research wants to generalize the situation in the most clear way about family size in Kon Tum now. specific:

First: Family size in Kon Tum in general looks smaller over the years both in terms of the proportion of households, the average number of people per household and family type. In both urban and rural, family size will change in the years 2000 to 2013 following the instructions: small number of members of a household, the type of the modern family and single family (one member) increasingly takes higher proportion of households in the province. Second, family size in urban areas are much smaller than in rural areas, while the proportion of the population is not separated much. This shows that the gap between population growth and growth rate of households in urban areas are increasingly wider in rural areas.

Family scale study does not use data survey method but the existing data, through information processing skills and analysis problems to provide a data system for a long time the subject has made the most profound analysis on family size and specify change in family size in Kon Tum while approaching in many different dimensions .Then see the change of family size and the impact of urbanization on this change. In addition, the thread analyzes deeper on many aspects of urbanization correlated with family size to see more clearly the impact of urbanization on family size. At the same time subjects, uses the method of analysis and population predictions along with the results obtained in a long time on family size to make predictions about population dynamics as well as changes in family size in Kon Tum in the next few years. Thus, the study of family size in Kon Tum has provided us with a most broad, deepest understanding on family size and family size change under the approach of urban studies and the theory of chemical structure of Anthony Giddens. Family size with the impact of many factors, but urbanization is one of the factors that affects the most on the family size in recent years, especially in urban areas.

11. Practical applicability: The thread analyzes and describes family size and the variability of family size in Kon Tum; at the same time subjects, shown aspects of urbanization affecting variation in family size Kon Tum in this porch. At the same time, the subject will also be a documentation system being used in an obvious way, most comprehensive about family size in recent years through the power of statistics with a large sample, and there is close supervision about the reliability of information, use of more specialized and interdisciplinary issues related to household size Central Highlands province of Kon Tum in general and in particular.
