The nationwide census operation on population and housing began on October 1, 2024, with 68 census-related questions to be asked and collected.  This year’s enumeration process is aimed at collecting accurate population and socioeconomic data to inform policy-making, strategies, and national projects.  The census will assess changes in population and socioeconomic conditions between 2014 and 2024, support the implementation of the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP), and strengthen the national statistical system.
