SHAN STATE a Snapshot of Child Wellbeing BASIC INFORMATION
SHAN STATE A Snapshot of Child Wellbeing BASIC INFORMATION Area: 155,457.45 sq. km Total population: 4,493,308 Rural: 3,447,611 Urban: 1,045,697 0-14 years: 1,431,049 Languages: Myanmar, Other Administrative divisions: 13 Districts, 55 Townships, 491 Wards, 15,902 Villages Capital: Taunggyi Main economic activities: Mining, Forestry, Agriculture SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXT Located in eastern Myanmar, Shan State is bordered by China to the north, China and Laos to the east, Thailand and Kayah and Kayin States to the south, and Mandalay and Sagaing Regions to the west. Occupying about a quarter of Myanmar’s total land area, it is the largest of all states and regions in the country. Shan State is endowed with vast reserves of timber, coal, metals and precious stones. It is famous for its garden produce as the temperate climate lends itself to growing a variety of fruits and vegetables. And it is also home to Inle Lake, one of the biggest tourist attractions in Myanmar. However, years of civil and political strife, coupled with large scale illegal production of opium and heroin, have adversely affected socio-economic development in the State despite the tremendous potential. Now home to 5 of the 6 self-administered areas in the country, and with continued conflict between the Government and ethnic armies on some fronts, vast areas in the State remain un- reached by essential public services and household-based data collection exercises alike. It is therefore highly plausible that the socio-economic situation may actually be worse than indicated by available data.
