INTRODUCTION
The goal of this report is to provide a critical analysis of the Sixth National Population
Census of the People's Republic of China (2010) as it pertains to the current state of
health and education within Tibetan populated areas. The national census is taken
every ten years and reveals significant benchmarks regarding the ethnic make-up,
health, education, and economic status of regional populations. This ambitious
nationwide effort was heavily promoted by the central government, which spent
approximately 700 million RMB and mobilized over 6 million enumerators to visit over
400 million households and to record a total of 1.34 billion people.
Overall, we found that the 2010 census reveals extreme disparities between Tibetan
populated regions and the rest of the PRC in regards to all major health and education
indicators, such as life expectancy, infant mortality rates, illiteracy rates, and
educational attainment. Despite the state's much touted “modernization and
development" of Tibet, the government's official data shows Tibetans falling far
behind the rest of the PRC in terms of health and education.
The following slides summarize our findings in the areas of Tibetan population, health,
and education.View entire presentation
