尽管缅甸在2014年进行了31年来的首次人口普查，但总统登盛和国务资政昂山素季的政府在普查中保留了种族统计数据。移民和人口部和联合国人口基金将人口普查问题框定在族裔-或“lumyo”-上，未能产生可靠的数据，因为它既不符合国际标准，也没有考虑到缅甸复杂和充满政治色彩的族裔情况。因此，2014年人口和住房普查的族裔结果被视为破坏政治改革与和平进程的稳定。
Although Myanmar undertook its first census in thirty-one years in 2014, the governments of President Thein Sein and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi have withheld the ethnicity statistics polled in the enumeration. The Ministry of Immigration and Population and the United Nations Population Fund framed the census question on ethnicity — or "lumyo" — to fail to produce reliable data, given that it neither met international standards nor took into account the complex and politically charged landscape of ethnicity in Myanmar. As a result, the ethnic results of the 2014 Population and Housing Census came to be viewed as destabilizing to the political reform and peace processes.
