Nepal’s demographics: Then and now

We now know for the first time how the different provinces have been doing.

Anyone scanning the news would be aware that the summary results of the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) 2022-23 have now been published. Unlike during previous iterations when ordinary folks with an appetite for learning more had no immediate access and the only resort was reliance on news stories, the report was also simultaneously made available online . Which is rather fortuitous since it not only gives everyone a peek into statistical facts from this round of the NLSS not picked up by the media but in this column and the next one also for indulging in a bit of contextual detour as well.
