Study Notes

Course Overview

  • The course is a refresher and deepening course on basic demography and situational analysis.
  • It targets technical staff of Central Luzon population offices.
  • The course was held at the Grace Crown Hotel, Angeles City from November 7th to 9th, 2018.
  • The facilitator was Marilyn F. Ogaja, Assistant Regional Director-POPCOM IV.

Demographic Concepts

  • Demography is the study of human populations.
  • It systematically presents population data.
  • Demography is connected to various disciplines and development concerns.
  • It's fundamental in designing and implementing population management programs.

Sources of Population Data

  • Data is mainly obtained from:
    • Census
    • Vital Registration System
    • Sample Surveys
    • Administrative Records

Census

  • A complete count or enumeration of people residing in a particular area.
  • Conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), formerly the NSO.
  • Typically conducted every 5 or 10 years.
  • The most recent census was on August 1, 2015.

Vital Registration System

  • The PSA gathers data from Local Civil Registrars (LCRs) on vital events.
  • Vital events include births, deaths, and marriages (including dissolution).

Sample Surveys

  • Uses samples of the target population to create estimates.
  • Conducted at national or subnational levels.
  • Examples include:
    • National Demographic and Health Surveys (NDHS)
    • Labor Force Survey (LFS)
    • Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES)

Administrative Records

  • Data from various agencies is used.
  • Sources include education data (from DepEd), voters' lists (COMELEC), health indicators (DoH), and OFW profiles (CFO, POEA, OWWA).

Population Outcomes and Processes

  • Population Outcomes:
    • Population size
    • Population composition by age and sex
    • Population distribution (spatial)
  • Population Processes:
    • Fertility
    • Mortality
    • Migration

Population Size

  • Includes all persons in private households, institutions, and diplomatic settings (embassies, consulates, missions abroad).
  • Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are included if they intend to return within 5 years.
  • Seafarers are included.
  • The Filipino population continues to grow, reaching 101,981,437 in 2015.

Population Composition

  • How population can be described: by age, sex, education, economic status, cultural characteristics, etc.

Population Distribution

  • The pattern of settlement and dispersal of population within a country or subnational area.

Population Processes

  • Fertility: The capacity of a woman or couple to produce children measured by the number of live births.
  • Mortality: The complete absence or cessation of life; expressed as the number of deaths.
  • Migration: The movement of an individual that crosses a territorial boundary to establish residence; can be internal (within a country) or international.

Demographic Measures

  • Rates:
    • Measure likelihood of an event in a specific time period.
    • Crude Death Rate (number of deaths over midyear population).
    • Crude Birth Rate (number of births over midyear population).
    • Age-specific fertility rate (births to women of a specific age).
  • Ratios:
    • Relates one number to another, creating a single number.
    • Sex Ratio (number of males per 100 females).
    • Young age dependency ratio (population below 15 to working age population).
  • Proportions:
    • Describes relationship of one sub-group to a larger group.
    • Proportion unemployed (number unemployed divided by total labor force).
  • Percentage:
    • Proportion expressed as units per 100.
    • Percentage of unemployed (unemployed divided by total labor force, multiplied by 100).
  • Cohort:
    • Group of people sharing a common demographic experience.
    • Example: people born in the Philippines in 1995

Mid-year Population

  • Estimated population as of July 1 of the year being considered.
  • An approximation for when precise figures are not available.
  • Can be calculated for the total population or specific characteristics.

Constant

  • "k" in a formula. It makes a measure more understandable.
  • Example: 0.0063 deaths per person in 1995, multiplying by 1000 shows 6.3 deaths per 1000 people.

Calculating Mid-year Population

  • A formula to calculate mid-year population based on previous census data: Pmid-year = P1 + n/N x (P2 – P1).
    • P1 = population from earlier census
    • P2 = population from later census
    • n = number of months between P1 and desired midyear estimate
    • N = total months elapsed.
