Population growth, as defined by World Development Indicators, refers to the change in the number of individuals in a population over a specific period, usually expressed as a percentage of the total population.
Key Takeaways
The Philippines maintained relatively high population growth rates in the early 1990s, around 2.4%, driven by high fertility rates and a youthful demographic. However, the rate gradually declined over the decades, dropping to 1.5% by 2023. This decline reflects improvements in education, family planning, and urbanization.
Despite the overall downward trend, the growth rate stabilized between 2010 and 2019 at around 1.7%. The pandemic years (2020–2022) saw further declines, influenced by disruptions in migration and healthcare access. The consistent rate of 1.5% from 2021 to 2023 underscores the Philippines' ongoing demographic transition.
