This report makes use of data already published in other census reports on fertility and marriage, mortality, migration, education, labour force, housing, and gender. In addition, a range of special tabulations from the census are also used to provide more detailed information about the situation of young people in Timor-Leste. 

This report goes beyond the scope of the population and housing census results by combining findings related to sexual and reproductive health from the recent 2016 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). By doing so this report provides an overview of the situation and range of issues faced by young people in Timor-Leste today.
