Nay Pyi Taw’s 2024 population and household census report released
THE event to announce the Nay Pyi Taw’s
2024 population and household census report was held at Zabuthiri Hall of Nay
Pyi Taw Council yesterday.
Speaking at the event, Union Minister
for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing, who is also Chairman of the
Central Census Commission, stated that the 2024 Population and Housing Census
was successfully conducted in October 2024. The ministry released the
preliminary population figures, the Union Report as the main census report,
summary reports, and statistical reports for users in stages within the
designated timeframes. The region and state reports were subsequently compiled,
with priority given to Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon Region, Ayeyawady Region, and Bago
Region, where census collection had been completed fully and almost fully, and
the Nay Pyi Taw report can be officially released now.
He continued that the Nay Pyi Taw report
contains not only demographic data but also comprehensive chapters on migration,
education, labour force, disability, housing conditions, births, and deaths.
These data reflect current demographic changes in the region, urban and rural
population conditions, educational standards, labour force and employment,
migration, and the living standards of the people. He also mentioned the key
role of data collected from the census.
He added that, being a member of ASEAN,
the country will also be able to contribute statistical data to ASEAN and the
international statistical sectors, and provide an index for the national
indicator framework. The Nay Pyi Taw census report will support the formulation
of plans to improve the education sector by analyzing literacy rates, education
levels, and school dropout conditions, whereas the labour force data,
employment conditions, and unemployment rates will help promote the
socioeconomic development of the people in Nay Pyi Taw through the effective
use of census data.
