The Central Census Commission held its sixth work coordination meeting on the release of the Union report for the 2024 Nationwide Population and Housing Census at the Ministry of Immigration and Population in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.

Speaking at the event, Union Minister U Myint Kyaing highlighted the collaboration efforts of the central commission, region, state, district, township, ward and village-tract committees, ministries concerned, security organizations and the public for the successful enumeration of the household census regardless of the difficulties.

He continued that the preliminary census record was released on 31 December 2024, and the ministry continuously strives to carry out activities such as preparing and analyzing statistics and compiling Union reports. The recently completed Union report includes information on population, internal and foreign migration, education, labour force, births, disability, household matters, deaths, and maternal mortality.

Moreover, arrangements are being made to release the summary and statistical reports along with the Union report to ensure that data users can easily access and utilize the information. These reports contain population and socioeconomic statistics that must serve as a basis for formulating national development policies and plans. Therefore, preparations are being made to hold a national-level event for the release of the 2024 Census Union Report. The essence of the census lies not only in successfully collecting data but also in ensuring that census information reaches policymakers, planners, and data users; only then can the census be considered a true success.

The Union minister also called for active participation in holding the national-level event to release the Union report.

Deputy Minister U Htay Hlaing, secretary of the central commission, reported on the preparation for the Union report, whereas the attendees coordinated the discussion, and the Union minister concluded the meeting.
