What causes the increasing population in the Philippines every year?

Answer 1

Population explosion is considered as one of the undisputable alarming obstacles that stand on the path of the less developed countries. These countries produce great numbers in terms of human resources because the Birth Rate is much higher than in the rich countries, but the rate of employment and production in the poor countries is very low. Definitely this is a very serious problem that the government should never take for granted. The Philippines belong to the group of these "less developed countries." And as we all know, the growth of population in our country is unstoppable. In fact, the Philippine population is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. It is estimated that 3,000 Filipino babies are born every day, 100,000 every month, or one million a year to round u In point of fact, our national government declared many programs that emphasize the importance of family planning in order to reduce the growth rate of the population. However, because of some negative effects brought by these artificial methods, and, as mentioned earlier, these cultural and religious bases, many couples do not use them. But most of them have their own individual solutions, and disparities over formulas had often blocked efforts to come up with a solution. So many families are not aware of the programs regarding the population explosion that we have now. For this reason, our country becomes poorer, and the people get stuck in this sticky situation of poverty and squalor. In this lies the problem: at first, the babies need milk, diapers and vitamins. Providing them creates a large number of problems that demand the fullest utilization of the nation's resources. And when they do, they need education, which requires more school structures; they need food, clothing, houses, jobs, etc. This rapid growth of population is quite hard to endure for it really affects both the social and economic condition of our country. However, population growth cannot be controlled easily because of cultural and religious reasons, not to mention, the Philippines is known to be very conservative and very much Catholic, in its broadest sense. But the trouble is, babies grow up. These are basic needs that must be filled. There will be more babies born 20 years from now than the number of babies that are born this day. There are more babies being born today than there were in the 1970s.
