• Launching stage


  The stage of family life covering the period of vocational adjustments by the children during which time they seek employment/sources of livelihood
• FACT - Some women ovulate only two to four times per year. Such women are usually sub-fertile, maybe because of dieting or exercising rigorously leading to amenorrhea or the inhibition of a woman's fertility. Since amenorrhea is linked to increase risked of osteoporosis, women who experience this symptom should consult a physician and start eating correctly to normalize their condition.

• Low level of fertility is not related to population growth in developing countries
• RA 7192 (Women in Development and Nation Building Act)


  The law that provides equal opportunities for women in all military schools of the Armed Forces and the Philippine National Police, and equal rights in entering into contracts and loan agreements and in joining social and cultural clubs

• 27% of adolescents are estimated to be anemic in developing countries
• Soil erosion


  Leads to an annual loss in grain output that is roughly estimated at 9 million tons
• Sustainable development


  Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs
• Hydrologic cycle or water cycle


  The cycle by which water evaporates from oceans and other bodies of water, accumulates as water vapor in clouds, and returns to oceans and other bodies of water as rain and snow, or as runoff from the precipitation or as ground water

  A spatial unit of nature in which living organisms and the physical environment interact
• Presidential decree 603


  The decree that promulgated "The Child and Youth Welfare Code" of the Philippines
• 300 million sperm cells are released by male per ejaculation
• Balancing equation


  A basic demographic formula used to estimate total population change between two points in time - or to estimate any unknown component of population change, provided that the other component are known. The balancing equation includes all components of population change: births, deaths, immigration, emigration, in-migration, and out-migration.
• Demographic transition


  The historical shift of birth and death rates from high to low levels in a population. The decline of mortality usually precedes the decline in fertility, thus resulting in rapid population growth during the transition period.
• Demography


  The scientific study of human populations, including their sizes, compositions, distributions, densities, growth, and other characteristics, as well as the causes and consequences of changes in these factors.
• Doubling time


  The number of years required for the population of an area to double its present size, given the current rate of population growth.
• Ethnicity


  The cultural practices, languages, cuisine, and traditions - not biological or physical differences - used to distinguish groups of people
• Fecundity


  The physiological capacity of a woman to produce a child.
• Life expectancy


  The average number of additional years a person could expect to live if current mortality trends were to continue for the rest of that person's life.
• Life expectancy at birth

  The number years a newborn child can be expected to live under a given mortality condition of an area in a given year.
• Thomas R. Mathus


  English clergyman and economist famous for his theory (expounded in the "Essay on the Principle of Population") that the world's population tends to increase faster that the food supply and that unless fertility is controlled (by late marriage or celibacy), famine, disease, and war must serve as natural population restrictions
• Mortality


  Refers to the occurrence of deaths in a population. The incidence of death is related to many factors like age, sex, occupation, economic and social class. While fertility represents additions to the population and results in the restoration of the population, mortality is high among the infants and highest among very elderly.
• Population momentum


  The tendency for population growth to continue beyond the time that replacement-level fertility has been achieved because of the relatively high concentration of people in the childbearing years.
• Population density


  Population per unit of land area; for example, persons per square mile or persons per square kilometer of arable land.
• Population pyramid


  A graphical presentation of the age-sex composition of the population. It consists of bars: the height represents the age groups while the length represents the absolute population, or percent of the population in each age group. The sum of the bars is equal to the total population or 100% of the population. The graph usually depicts the male and female populations separately. The bars for males are given on the left of the x-axis and the bars for females are on the right x-axis. It is constructed by either single age group or by five-year age group.
• Reproductive health


  A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease o infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes.
• Singulate mean age at marriage (SMAM)


  A measure of nuptiality derived from a set of percents single at different ages. It denotes the number of years that a married individual spends in singlehood before ultimately marrying.
• Total fertility


  The average number of children that would be born alive to a woman (or group of women) during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the age-specific fertility rates of a given year. This rate is sometimes stated as the number of children women are having today.
• Urbanization


  Growth in the proportion of a population living in urban areas.
• Zero population growth (ZPG)


  A population in equilibrium, with a growth rate of zero, achieved when births plus immigration equal deaths plus emigration
