3.1.2 Population Distribution                          

The distribution of a population by age and sex is among the basic types of information needed for planning. Sex and age composition of a population has significant implications for the reproductive potential, human resource, school attendance, family formation, health care and other service delivery in general.

The National Population and Housing Census was conducted in 2024 by UBOS and the provisional results were released. The report provided population figures by sex for all the districts in the country. The provisional results for this district are indicated in Table 3.2.

Further data processing and analysis is on-going to generate a more detailed report that will provide information on other indicators up-to the lowest level.  Analysis of educational requirements, labour force projections, household composition and migration for example, would not be complete without considering information on age and sex.
