2. The Philippines current rank when it comes to population size is 13th.
3. Currently, the population size of the Philippines is 108 million.
4. During 1898, the year when independence of the Philippines was declared, it ranked 32nd based
on population size.
5. The Philippines has a total population size of 6.51 million during the year of independence.
6. The Philippines recorded a total fertility rate of 2.84 (babies per woman).
7. One of the possible reasons for this trend is that they become educated more. They were be
able to have knowledge about family planning and the different methods of medical and social
activities that it offers. It can also be because some women committed abortion.
8. The Philippines child mortality rate (number of dying children per 1000 births) is 27.8.
9. 70 (years) is the current life expectancy in the Philippines.
10. The reason behind this can be because there are a lot of people who became conscious of
their health. Lifestyle has really a great impact to the life expectancy. They are now into different
diet and exercise with supplements. Some are also seeking for regular check-ups to know their
health status.
11. The income per person (GDP per capita) in the Philippines is 8260.
12. Because of economic growth and development, the world is becoming richer. There are a lot
of new industries worldwide, allowing more people to dive in the different opportunities that this
may offer. More job means more income. That is why income is also increasing.
13. Compared to the rest of the world, the Asian regions level of income falls to level 2 to 3.
14. Yes, based on the illustration I can say that developed countries emit higher carbon dioxide
compared to the developing countries. It is because major industrialization and technological
processes for innovation are done in the developing countries. CO2 has especially increased
because of the rise of the industrialize plants and the exponential growth of different
manufacturing and production activities. This is the result of the developed countries’ will to
continuously boost their country’s economy.
15. I agree that developed countries have a lower fertility rate compared to the developing
countries. There are many reasons behind this. One can be because the developing countries
have more educated people or people from these countries have access to education. They have
a thorough knowledge about family planning and different methods. They also have the capacity
to seek for medical advice compare to the people in the developing countries.
16. The highest population is in the age group of 0 to 3 years old while the lowest is in the age
group of 99 years old.
17. The world’s population distribution from 1800 to the projected 2100 is rapidly increasing. This
increase can be observed during the 1900s to the year 2000 where a lot of development occurs.
It is also noticeable that there will be more children compared to the older people.
