Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing yesterday delivered a video speech to the people in commemoration of the population and household census enumeration for 2024. His speech is as follows: —
I extend greetings to all esteemed Myanmar people and all national brethren with best wishes for enjoying all auspiciousnesses and physical and mental well-being.
The population and household census which has been enumerated in our country once every ten years will be collected in the entire nation from 1 to 15 October simultaneously. If we count it starting today, thirty days remain until the census-taken process.
The census concerning population, economic and social measures is to be taken for everybody simultaneously in the entire nation or a set plot.
Enumerating the census is very wide with a large workload, spending a large sum of money. The majority of global countries conduct the census-taken process once every ten years. Census measure is concerned with everybody and it is a must to be done. Hence, even developed countries which have full data of identity registration statistics regularly enumerate the census.
In 2024, Myanmar will conduct its census again, ten years after the previous one in 2014. Moreover, as the State actually needs correct and accurate population data to manage present and future development projects of the nation, we decided to collect the census.
Our government is arranging enumeration process of the population and household census in the entire nation in accord with the international standards. As different steps of preparatory processes have been conducted since previous years, now is ready to collect population data on the ground.
