The 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census: Thematic Report on the Older Population

Understanding population ageing is important because of the potential effects on the economic development of the country. The 2014 Census, the first in the country for 30 years, is a unique source for describing national and regional population dynamics underlying population ageing. Furthermore, the Census is invaluable in describing the situation of the older population to facilitate the design of programmes targeting the most vulnerable and to monitor the outcomes of these programmes.
