The provisional results of the 2014 Myanmar Census show that the total population
is 51,419,420.[284] This figure includes an estimated 1,206,353 persons in parts of
northern Rakhine State, Kachin State and Kayin State who were not
counted.[285] People who were out of the country at the time of the census are not
included in these figures. There are over 600,000 registered migrant workers from
Myanmar in Thailand, and millions more work illegally. Burmese migrant workers
account for 80% of Thailand's migrant workers.[286] Population density is 76 per
square kilometre (200/sq mi), among the lowest in Southeast Asia.
Myanmar's fertility rate as of 2011 is 2.23, which is slightly above replacement
level[287] and is low compared to Southeast Asian countries of similar economic
standing, such Cambodia (3.18) and Laos (4.41).[287] There has been a significant
decline in fertility, from a rate of 4.7 children per woman in 1983, down to 2.4 in
2001, despite the absence of any national population policy.[287][288][289] The fertility
rate is much lower in urban areas.
The relatively rapid decline in fertility is attributed to several factors, including
extreme delays in marriage (almost unparalleled among developing countries in the
region), the prevalence of illegal abortions, and the high proportion of single,
unmarried women of reproductive age, with 25.9% of women aged 30–34 and 33.1%
of men and women aged 25–34 single.[289][290]
These patterns stem from economic dynamics. The economic hardship, which
results in the delay of marriage and family-building;[289] the average age of marriage
in Myanmar is 27.5 for men, 26.4 for women.[289][290]
