According to data released by the Philippines Statistics Authority last week, in 2021 there was a 10.7% decrease in live births compared to 2020.
And compared to 2012, 2021 saw a 23.8% decline in registered births. If this decline coupled with the increase in deaths continues, the Philippines
will have a negative population growth rate by 2028. Is the Philippines the canary in the coal mine?
As noted by the Philippines Statistics Authority population pyramid, the largest portion of the population are within reproductive age with more than
half of the female population of reproductive age. We would not expect, therefore, the Philippines to have such a rapid decrease in the birth rate.
So, Super Sally looked at the data and explored the possible reasons for the 2021 decline in birth rates.
The data comes with a caveat. It takes four months to complete the registration of births and as the data is up to date as of 31 March 2022, the
decrease of 10.7% may reduce in the next release of data.
