DAVAO CITY: With the national election and transfer of power in the Philippines from outgoing president Rodrigo Duterte to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in July 2022, it seems an appropriate time to briefly take stock of the country's current demographic situation, as well as recent related developments. According to the biennial global estimates and projections of world population issued by the United Nations Population Division in 2022, the Philippines population climbed to 114 million by mid-2021.

MANILA, Philippines — State-run pension fund Social Security System (SSS) is targeting to onboard and provide at least half of the Filipino population with social protection during the term of the Marcos administration. SSS president and CEO Rolando Macasaet said he wants to increase the current membership of SSS which currently stands at about 41 million. Over the next five years, SSS targets to hike this to at least 56 million. It should be noted, however, that of the 41 million, only half or about 20 million are actively contributing to the pension fund. “The more paying members, the higher the actuarial life,” Macasaet told reporters on the sidelines of the SSS-Robinsons Mall partnership launch on Tuesday. “The less the need to increase the contribution rate,” he said. To increase the membership, Macasaet said the agency would ramp up the SSS on Wheels, which aims to register Filipinos living in the provinces and other far-flung areas. “We really have to register as many as possible. Because 20 to 30 years from now, Filipinos who do not contribute will not receive any pension,” Macasaet said. It should be noted that the benefits of members once they retire are computed based on their regular contributions to SSS while they were still working. Members pay monthly contributions to the state-run pension fund, which in turn are being used for benefits such as retirement, as well as other loans under SSS. The contribution rate is currently at 14 percent of a person’s monthl...

Seniors are better educated and have healthier lifestyles,” Popcom said in a statement on Sunday. On the other hand, the percentage of Filipino children in the population has declined “significantly,” according to the government body handling population-related programs.

The 2022 Philippines National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) is the seventh Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) conducted in the Philippines in collaboration with the worldwide Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program and the 12th in a series of national DHS surveys conducted every 5 years since 1968. The 2022 NDHS is a nationwide survey with a nationally representative sample of about 35,000 households from 34,232 housing units.
