Focuses on quantifiable aspects of populations, such as size, structure, growth and distribution.

Change in the number of people in a population over a period of time.

The key factors that drive population change, including mortality, fertility, and migration.

The total number of people in a particular area or region at a specific time.

The composition of a population in terms of age, sex, and other characteristics.

The increase or decrease in the number of people in a region or group over time, influenced by factors like birth, death, and migration.

The number of people physically present in a place at a specific time.

The number of people permanently residing in a place, often based on registration and taxes.

The rate at which a population increases or decreases over a period.

An increase in population.

A decrease in population.

No change in population size over a period.

A graphic showing age and sex distribution of a population.

A population that is increasing rapidly, often characterized by a large proportion of young people (under 23).

A population that is increasing gradually, often with a significant older population and low birth rates.

A measure of population per unit area (e.g., people per square kilometer).

An area with few people.

An area with many people.

Death and morbidity (illness).

Birth rates.

Movement of people.

The Philippines experiences a high unemployment rate, the highest among ASEAN countries. Factors include inconsistent population control policies, rapid population growth, slow job generation, and the OFW phenomenon with brain drain.

The Philippines experiences a significant increase in population, with a high birth rate contributing to a large young population. This rapid population growth strains resources and job markets.

Many Filipinos work abroad as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), contributing to the country's economy through remittances. However, this can lead to brain drain, where skilled professionals leave the Philippines for better opportunities abroad.

The loss of skilled professionals and highly educated individuals from a country, often due to limited opportunities or better prospects abroad. It can negatively impact economic development.
