Preface 

 

Central Bureau of Statistics  (CBS) Nepal  is pleased to bring out the series of results of the 

National Population and Housing Census 2011  (NPHC 2011). The  final result of this census 

was disseminated    in November 2012.   Additional national  level and disaggregated  tables 

are still under way to disseminate. In fact, the census has enormous potentiality of analyses 

to be done on demographic, social, economic and spatial characteristics of the population.

women  and  economic  activities  of  the  population  aged  10  years  and  over.  CBS  always
