The report seeks to provide a picture of the Lao PDR’s civil registration completeness and the associated inequalities, that lay out possible key drivers behind the low birth registration. This will allow the country to work towards solving these remaining challenges to really get ‘every one’ in the picture.
The content of the report was derived from a review of available data, and the analysis of birth registration inequality relied on the two most recent household Lao Social Statistics Surveys conducted by the LSB. Discrepancies and challenges in the process of data compilation and analysis arose and highlighted the need for more investment of time and effort to address them.
