10. Summary of thesis results:
The thesis topic has generalized the current situation of gender imbalance at birth in Vietnam from the beginning of the 21st century to the present. This is a demographic problem, arising from the consequences of traditional culture in the context of modern economic and social life, the result of the combination of three factors: son preference, the availability of science and technology and birth reduction policy with a direct manifestation of prenatal sex selection practice.
The traditional concept of the value of children in the family, specifically the concept of the value of children, especially boys in Vietnamese families, is an important factor leading to the preference for boys and the decision to have children by couples.
Through two stories about the journey of finding a son of two couples with similar circumstances but different ways of dealing with their circumstances and leading to different results, the research results show the important role of men in the position of husbands in LCGTTS. And LCGTTS in Vietnam is predicted to have a tendency to spread in the near future.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
This research paper will discuss the issue of gender inequality caused by gender selection in infants globally as well as in Vietnam in particular.
Traditional thinking about a child's role within a family, specifically a son's capabilities and responsibilities compared to those of a daughter, is the major reason for son preference and gender selection in infants in Vietnam.
After closely examining two cases about two couples both thirsting for a son, who had similar circumstances but took different courses of action leading to different results, this research paper shows the important role of the husband in the matter of deciding the gender of their child. Gender selection in infants is predicted to escalate in the future.
