Welfare and Food Security

There has been an overall reduction in household engagement in income earning activities between late 2022 and 2023.

Vulnerability is increasing in Myanmar. Kayah and Chin states were the two states/regions where households felt the most insecure.

Over 1.5 years between December 2021 and June 2023, at least 18.5 percent of the population or more than 10 million people migrated.

Remittances have emerged as an important source of income for households in post-coup Myanmar.

The most common difficulties migrants faced include coming up with the money for migration, followed by travel restrictions, checkpoints, or roadblocks.
