Migration Virtual Hub - Cambodia
Cambodia is located on the South-East Asian peninsula, bordered by Thailand, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic, Viet Nam, and the Gulf of Thailand. The population is almost 15 million, 80 percent of whom live in rural areas. Over 95 percent of Cambodians are Khmer-speaking Buddhists, and over half of the population is less than 25 years old. Cambodia is a post-conflict country having survived decades of civil war, when at least 1.5 million people died at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. Since the late 1990s it has been politically stable, and national elections held in July 2008 were relatively peaceful. However, long-term development after decades of war remains a challenge. Most rural areas are in need of basic infrastructure, and much of the population lacks education and productive skills. Cambodia is a low-income country with medium human development.3 Gross National Income was placed at 830 dollars per capita in 2011.
