Is the Miao nationality in northern Laos poor?
The Miao people in northern Laos are very poor. According to relevant public information, Miao is a minority in northern Laos, living in remote mountainous areas and border areas. Due to the limitation of geographical environment, the infrastructure such as transportation, education and medical care in this area is relatively weak and the economic development is relatively backward. Therefore, some Miao people may face poverty and life pressure. At present, the Lao government and all walks of life are working hard to promote the economic development and infrastructure construction in this area and improve the living standards and development opportunities of local residents.
