💨 Abstract

Myanmar's 2024 census shows a population of 51.3 million, a slight decrease from 2014, amid ongoing conflict and unrest. The junta plans to use the census to compile voter lists for elections, which opposition groups have criticized. The Rohingya minority was excluded from both censuses. The population figure is lower than the World Bank's estimated 54.5 million for 2024.
