Mongolia officially registers its 2,900,000th citizen

The Bureau of Population and Housing Census (BPHC) of the National Statistical Office (NSO) has officially announced that Mongolia’s population reached 2,900,000 on July 10.

Chief of BPHC, A.Amarbal, said, “The Ministry of Health sends monthly data of mortality and birth rates to the NSO and according to the statistics, Mongolia welcomes a new citizen every seven minutes and 36 seconds, while one Mongolian citizen dies every 28 minutes and 36 seconds.

Projections of population growth are made based on a population’s mortality and birth rate. Likewise, the NSO has started running a ‘Population Clock’ which estimated the birth on July 10.

As of the first half of 2013, the birth rate had already exceeded 38,000 , the same birth rate of the 1980s, when Mongolia’s birth rate had reached its peak.”
