The province covers an area of 4,798 km², and there are 343,987 inhabitants (2011 census final figures—2000 census 185,641). Jiwaka province officially came into being on 17 May 2012, comprising three districts previously part of Western Highlands Province.

UN recommendations also cover census topics to be collected, official definitions, classifications and other useful information to co-ordinate international practices.
