Myanmar's population of 54.5 million ranks it 27th globally, with a 7.53% growth rate over the past decade translating to approximately 3.8 million residents added since 2014. The country's demographic trajectory has decelerated significantly from its peak growth period in the 1960s, indicating a transition toward lower fertility rates typical of developing nations undergoing urbanization and economic shifts. This 64-year dataset reveals a nation that, despite ranking among the world's more populous countries, is experiencing moderate rather than explosive population expansion.
