Hai Duong population from 1900 to 1943 increased by about 138,000 people. The population density of 314 people / km2 (1900) rose to 375 people / km2 (1943). Cultivation area from hectares per capita / person (1932) rose ha / person (1940). However, rice production per capita on average in Hai Duong province decreased from kg / person (1932) to kg / person (1940). This suggests that rice production can not meet the population growth rate. This is also the reason why poverty, the growing impoverishment of working people in Hai Duong province. Also leading to the formation of new migration flows: migration from the plains to the north of the province; migrants in factories, mines; migration to other provinces; immigrants in South America, Cambodia, . However, this migration has yet to satisfy the employment needs of farmers in Hai Duong province.
