Demography
PART 1
Population
It is the one basic
component of society.
Population quantity
and quality spell the
development or
underdevelopment of
a country.
Demography
Studies the size, distribution,
composition and changes at
a given population at a
given time and space.
Focus on variables that
influence population size,
distribution, structure,
processes, and
characteristics of a
population.
SOURCES OF DEMOGRAPHIC
DATA
CENSUS is the total
process of collecting,
compiling and
publishing demographic
data about the
population of a given
country at a given time.
SOURCES OF DEMOGRAPHIC
DATA
VITAL STATISTICS are
data about births,
deaths, and changes of
status reported by the
individual citizen.
SOURCES OF DEMOGRAPHIC
DATA
SAMPLE SURVEY is
the study of
representative portion
of the total population
to update the record
provided by the census
SOURCES OF DEMOGRAPHIC
DATA
Historical records are
documents kept in the
national archives.
Administrative
records are
government and non-
government data.
Theories of Population Growth
Food and sex are basic to the existence of man.
Population grows geometrically (2, 4, 8, 16, 32…..)
while the means of subsistence is only arithmetic (1, 2, 3, 4,
5….)
Positive checks: disasters, famine, pestilence
Preventive checks: use of birth control
Malthusian Theory of Population Growth
Highly advanced countries passed three stages of
population growth.
1. Stage of High potential growth
2. Stage of explosive growth
3. Stage of incipient decline
Demographic Transition Theory
The people desire to improve their
social status, wealth and individuality
can make them desire less number of
children.
Arsene Dumont’s Theory of Social Capillarity
Industrialized countries use
demographic measures to maximize
opportunities and avoid loss of status.
Theory of Change and Response of Kingsley Davis
The Philippine
population
As of Sunday, February 28, 2021 the population is
110, 543, 706 (UN data).
Philippine population is equivalent to 1.41% of the
total world population.
The population density is 368 per Km2 (952 people
per mi2).
47.5% is in urban area (52, 008, 603 people in
2020).
The median age is 25.7 years.
Growth rate is 1.4 in 2019.

Variables
of
Population
Change
Fecundity
Biological potential to give
birth to several numbers
of children.
Female can produce 300
to 400 ova during lifetime.
If maximize, she can
produce 25 babies.
Fertility
Social aspect of birth
and refers to the
actual number of
births to a woman.
Ferrante (2003) stated that population
threshold can be reached thru:
1. Less than 50% of population is employed in
agriculture.
2. At least 50% of person’s (5-19) are enrolled
in school, especially women.
3. Life expectancy is 60 years old.
4. Infant mortality is < 65 per thousand
5. 80% of the females (15 to 19 y.o.) remain
single or at least are protected from pre-
marital sex.
Mortality
It is the actual number of deaths in a population.
Migration
Is the movement of
people from one place
to another for
permanent residence.
Migration
International Migration
Domestic Migration
Factors: push, pull, transportation

Unmatched: 38.3% (13.0
million)
Populati
on and
Poverty
16.7% or 17.7 M Filipinos
could not meet the basic
food and non-food needs.
Populati
on and
Housing
4 out of 10 Filipinos do not have
decent place to live.
Populati
on and
Health
Dependent group will exceed to
10 million that needs health care.
Population
and Waste
Disposal
37, 427.46 tons per day in 2012
40, 087.45 tons per day in 2016
77, 776 tons per day in 2025
Population
and Waste
Disposal
57% of waste is from Residential area
27% of waste is from commercial area
12% of waste is from institutional area
4% of waste is from industrial area
Population
and, Peace
and Order
There should be 1
policeman for every
500 citizens.
Population
and
Transportat
ion
Rapid population growth leads to
high demands of transportation.
Family Planning
Part 2
Rapid population growth, but limited resources.
Large family size reduces quality of life of the
family members.
It can reduce maternal and child deaths.
Why do we need family
planning?
The State recognizes and guarantees the human rights of
all persons including their right to equality and
nondiscrimination of these rights, the right to sustainable
human development, the right to health which includes
reproductive health, the right to education and
information, and the right to choose and make decisions
for themselves in accordance with their religious
convictions, ethics, cultural beliefs, and the demands of
responsible parenthood.
