Better Life Expectancy

There is a good news about which Nepal can take pride in. It is in the news that the country is making significant strides in a number of indicators that really matter. Among them are marked increase in life expectancy and a huge reduction in maternal mortality rates (MMR) and infant mortality rates (IMR). These are among the more than 400 demographic indicators made public by the report entitled 'Demographic Indicators', by the National Statistics Office (NSO) based on the data of Nepal National Census 2021 on Sunday. The indicators include birth rate, death rate and migration, among others, up to the provincial levels which would be valuable for all stakeholders and policy makers, including federal and provincial governments, to carry out the social and economic activities.
