Myanmar has maintained steady growth over the past century despite its battles both in ending British rule and with the ongoing civil wars. One of the reasons for the falling fertility rates and birth rates is the increasing number of unmarried women in addition to the increased access to contraception. The birth rate in Myanmar, which has been declining as well, is 17.339 births per woman. In 1983, the fertility rate was 5 births per woman. The fertility rate in Myanmar is 2.13 births per woman, which is high enough for population replacement (2.1 births per woman) however, it has been declining over the past several years, contributing to the slowing population growth rate. The population growth rate is slowly decreasing, resulting in population growth to cease around 2054 and the population to start shrinking thereafter. Myanmar’s population is growing at a rate of about 0.67% per year.
According to current projections, Myanmar’s population will see its highest number in 2054 with 62.32 million people.
