Myanmar (Burma) Population: Current Estimates
As of 2021, Myanmar's population was estimated at ~54.4 million (World Bank).
Important Context
- Data Challenges: Conflict, displacement, and limited census access (last full census 2014) reduce accuracy.
- Rapid Change: Post-2021 coup displacement, refugee flows, and mortality may have altered figures significantly.
- Sources: For latest data, consult World Bank, UN Population Division, or Myanmar's Ministry of Immigration and Population.
The country's ethnic diversity (135+ recognized groups) and ongoing humanitarian crises complicate demographic tracking.
