• Demographic Dividend


  The economic growth experienced by a country as a result of the change in the country's population structure. It is the product of the demographic transition, which is characterized by markedly declining mortality and fertility rates, resulting in the shrinking of the dependent age (0-14) group and expanding of the workforce (ages 15-64)
• Demographic Transition


  The transition from a rough equilibrium of high fertility and high mortality, through a period of rapid growth when declining mortality coexists with continuing high fertility, to an ultimate equilibrium of low fertility and low mortality. Demographic transition directly influences the age structure of the population.
• Phases of Demographic Transition

  • First phase: Declining infant mortality (death rate) but fertility (birth rate) remains high, resulting in the swelling of the youth dependency group
  • Second phase: Proportion of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger relative to the young dependents (0 to 14 years) and the older population (65 years and above). This is the phase when the number of productive working age population is the highest
  • Third phase: The older cohort (those aged 65 years and above) swells relative to the total population. The growing ageing population during the third phase of the demographic transition can create a slowdown in the
• The Filipino people will drive our nation's journey of progress and development
• As our economy undergoes a demographic transition—with our working-age population growing faster than our total population—we must ensure that our people obtain and develop sufficient human capital and are well-equipped with the tools that will enable them to raise their productivity, and innovate, seize the many opportunities made available by new technologies, and compete globally
• The Philippine Population and Development Plan of Action (PPD-POA) for 2023-2028 shall serve as the country's roadmap for optimizing demographic opportunities and addressing persistent issues and challenges with respect to the Philippines' population profile

  
• The PPD-POA shall be instrumental in guiding collaborative efforts towards instituting people-centered interventions to foster local development
• The Plan sets a collective agenda towards empowering individuals, families, and institutions in achieving their development and societal goals
• The realization of the objectives of the PPD-POA entails a whole-of-government effort
• The Commission on Population and Development shall be instrumental in leading and monitoring the implementation of the population and development strategies laid out in this Plan, as we seek to tap the full potential of our human resources and collectively aim for a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay para sa lahat

  
• From a high fertility level in the 1970's, the period in which the national population policy was instituted, Filipino women and men now have greater capacity to achieve their fertility intentions as indicated by lower fertility level
• The increasingly uneven distribution of population across regions, rapid urbanization due to unmanaged influx of migrants and still high fertility level among women who are poor and with lower level of educational status, among others, remain as population issues that need to be addressed through a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach

• The PPD-POA serves as a collective roadmap for all stakeholders in creating an enabling environment for Filipino families and communities to achieve their development goals and aspirations
• The PPD-POA lays down the strategic goals and actions that the entire nation will collectively pursue to contribute in enabling and empowering Filipino families and communities to have a better quality of life based on their aspirations
• Demographic opportunities such as increasing working age population and declining age dependency because of greater capabilities among couples and women to achieve their desired fertility, among others, can accelerate the attainment of the country's development goals and objectives as specifically laid out in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028
• Demographic transition phases


  1. Phase 1: Decline in infant mortality but high fertility, resulting in swelling of youth dependency group

  2. Phase 2: Proportion of working-age population is larger relative to young and older dependents, highest number of productive working age population

  3. Phase 3: Older cohort swells relative to total population, growing aging population can slow economic growth
