yes, I do believe poverty is still high and the concentration of jobs, businesses, and opportunities are easier to do here in Metro Manila. Also, receiving the bare minimum of wages and the scarcity of jobs in the Philippines, Filipinos tend to look elsewhere, more precisely other developed countries. I do believe that western cultures is a part of the factors of the younger generation of hesitancy to build a family or less to have children, but, it might be the the cost of living in the Philippines is quite high and expensive--- also the generational trauma of having a big family, is costly and needs more time, attention, and resources in taking care a big family.

@Hoggster Almost everything is being mechanized. An army of farmhands used to be employed to plant/harvest a hectare of rice paddy. Now, a single person can do that using tractors and whatnot. Drones are being used to apply pesticides/fertilizers unlike before. And with the advent of AI, that single person/per hectare may just be zero as even driverless vehicles are being developed. They say with AI, the world will not be needing architects, teachers, journalists, artists, construction workers, cooks, waiters, and even prostitutes, etc. The more the people, the worse the ecological impact. All that's left is 0.9 degrees C of temperature increase until climate change becomes irreversible. Imagine providing for each baby things like diapers, toys, clothes, healthcare, feeding bottles, and school supplies. And as they grow up, hobby supplies, housing, food, water, transportation, etc. That's a huge carbon footprint.

@Hoggster Not a problem. It will just be a matter of supporting the elderly, instead of babies and their mothers. A young population has a higher dependency ratio than an ageing one. (In Australia, anyway) A child is two dependents: the child and the adult who must supervise it.

There is a reason why india has no policy in when it comes to having a number of children even after overtaking china. If the economy is growing despite large childbirth, if you do your research, you will find out that in the grand scheme of things it is more beneficiary. Slowing population growth is what first world countries have done in the past to improve their economy only to find out that it is detrimental in the longer run ad hey have found out since highly educated people prefer having only one. Again if you do your research, birthrate must be above a certain average and we are beginning to tread the same path as the first world countries have. Rule is more population means more economic activity and another rule is as economy becomes more richer and advance, population decline is inevitable.

@Hoggster They won't have to. The elderly are often self-supporting and even economically active if they are allowed to be. When I was a child, my father supported 6 people: himself and 5 others.

I understand what's the Church, why the disagree but raising a child in poverty is also a sin to the Lord.

Christianity is often misrepresented in their eyes. Their biases filter out the truth rather than observing the truth first hand. Instead of reading the Bible in its purity, they rely on gossip and hearsays. Nuns are voluntarily celibate and yet they disagree with the notion of being childfree. God is Dead, not literally but spiritually in a collective sense as they take it too seriously than seeing it as an allegory of life itself making it lose its hopeful magic that is available during ancient times.

Oh cmon lets hear from this expert ....

Philippines should be a developed country by the time it becomes an aging population. While declining birth rate is a sign of a conscious decision when considering parenthood, it - population control - is still a variable to progress. *If another variable exponentially implodes everything else implodes in catastrophe.* For Instance, China could become the Poster child of an aging middle class, despite the fact that their government (CCP) is still fundamentally communist which is ironic. The Chinese Government holds an immense power to distribute equal resources and yet they couldn't, and the same is true for their Big Tech Giants. Blaming the government, among other institutions or their relatives to submission is still one of the thousands of *variables* or conditions to consider when pleading for change. Another variable to consider is education and competence (wisdom and knowledge). If the population declines while still having less educated citizens, this would demotivate the population in proportion to other *variables.* People will send their best kids abroad and let them live there, and their kids will forever be competent and more valuable there. This will just exhaust the country of better professionals and would not encourage local and foreign investors into the country. Also if the competition of the best is held in the country, and later maximize it, then, it would encourage local participants to the best of their abilities to nurture it even with less resources and with local cooperation, therefore, attracts both local and foreign investors. Another variable is opportunity. If the population failed to educate the succeeding generations with the essential skills and associate their progress to every aspect of society, then, the society will experience a lag or even missing years to be competitive as a whole. People would not want to plant food anymore because other food is better that there will be a time that, people would only depend on exporting the food, or worse a recipe for a dish would eventually be extinct. People wouldn't ever make a boat because it wasn't cool and modern, even though it was the fastest and could take the longest trips in which could have been modernized if given the opportunity. The opportunity that could be lost without descendants to teach. These statements would only be close to accurate because the *variables* can only steer them by the common choices made by the majority. There are more plenty of variables greatly affecting the consensus of the public, and I hope most people recognize these factors or *variables* themselves other than thinking only on population control. China, Japan, and Korea will still come to a point that the help from their descendants will be necessary before the implosion of their population. This is just my opportunistic observation.

Meanwhile, those against the RH bill are neglecting the evils that befalls families and our society from have too many children and having children irresponsibly.

@@coerloyal Agreed. In fact the campaign against corruption is literally going the other way!

You would be shock how much that balance the land sustainability. People will sustain marriages because no one is poor and NEED the relationship to get by. THE BOOM IN GLOBAL POPULATION + THE INDUSTRIAL AGE is tied. 👉🏽 👉🏾 👉🏿The industrial age took away basic human security net Shelter | Food + Water . it also cause crime so men and women are choosing based on best end results. 🍱🍞🍜🍙🍚the Office or a date provide the rice ← Population Boom is the infant stage of Industrial culture ← Population Decline is the middle stage ← Extinction is the final stage.

@@cinnamonstar808 India or Africa will go instinct?😄Africa population does not stop increasing and they cannot even feed the population they have now. How will they feed them in the future and for what? what can the african population do other than basic jobs? Semiconductors?😆They can´t even run an electric grid. The population problems in the world both excessive growth in some places and decline in others are a result of the liberal system that has been force fed to the world for the last decades mainly after the USSR was dismantled. If there is a chance for countries to choose another system many will do. The reason for the system to be in place is only based on violence not legitimacy.

you'd be luck to have a decent job in your own country LOLS, cause back then 2011 all I find is a dogsh#t job role all my skills and education went to waste cause there was nothing there especially near where we migrated to from manila to south I can't find anything in manila and then also alabang pushing my luck landing dogsh#t job, Ph doesn't know what it's doing at all no idea what life is all about, their just keep on making babies with no future

I bet we’ll be really happy when we’re old and no one has been having babies for generations. It’ll be swell. Us old fogies, we’ll all have a ball doing everything for ourselves. See you at the Euthanasia clinic. Hopefully there’ll be someone young enough there to finish us off.

Ate ko isa lang anak

@@sunnywintermorning1941 With AI and robotics developing very quickly we don't need that much people. That euthanasia clinic you speak of can be run by AI don't you know?

@Sunny don't kid yourself, you know you will die from eating too much junkfood or drinking too much alcohol or being too sedentary. This is the fate of most modern people, to die just before or after retirement. Too much good food and entertainment.

It's not "life is a choice". Be aware of the consequences of your choice towards other people. Kung choice mo lang magka anak para happy happy lang, Mali Yun. Choose to have children because you can provide a healthy environment including being able to send them to school and financially provide for their needs.

It also helps that the Catholic clergy's influence on the Filipino general population in terms of political and social issues has eroded significantly over the last twenty or so years...

Smart

You're too young explore the world travel and learn how earn a lot of money exercise and healthy lifestyle

@@jakelittle1261 but the Philippines Population Control agencies hasn't done that sterilization yet, they merely Educate these people. It's the 21st century.

You probably will not be too happy when you turn 60 and you are alone with no family to take care of you.

​@@gwestcot are you jealous Greg? Lmao. I know many parents who are miserable at 60 and they dont have money as it all went to their kids

All I see that lowers the rate was abortion and single parents broken family😢 lets not be confident.. this has counter effect to our society

Same here,me and many of my friends chose not to have children however; i noticed that many younger or teenage girls get pregnant thus contribute to growing population even rapidly..

Agree. I think the video didn't really showed that Philippines population didn't drop to low but it's increased since alot of teens nowadays are getting pregnant like at the of 14-18, and some of this teens are already have 1-2 kids at their young age. Sakit ng peenoy mag eut anak ng madami since wlang pagkakaabalahan aside sa pagiging chismosa kaya🤷‍♀️.

@@ladysnow8186 No. The poor is getting more babies. The middle and first class are getting less babies. If you can't afford to send them to school and to provide for children, is just right not to have one.

I wish sex education is taught more in public provincial schools. The worse part is that HIV cases are still high in the Philippines. The risk is eally high nowadays

oh my god yes, the job competition is immense

@@arttrash1536 ulol bubu hihina nman ang Economia mga bubu kayo

no it inreases taxes as elder start to bocome larger population west is all ready feeling it why so many useles migrants are let in

It would still look bad as it would lead to increase in retirement age and increased tax. What we would like to see is just normal birth rate (2-3 babies per couple).

@@TheJarric now you know why the factories in the US have all moved to the Sun Belt. The nearer to the border, the better access to cheap labor that companies can treat as slaves.

tapos 30-35 years old ka at mag retired ka nag aaral parin anak mo🤣🤣

Too old. Infertility & pregnancy complications rise with age.

I’m glad I’m not the only one perplexed by her comments. I’m not sure what kind of Kool-Aid she has been drinking.

If you’re saying that demographic winter that Philippines is now sailing onto will be brutal on Filipinos, agreed! It’ll be much worse than in Japan.

@@pushslice Catholic kool-aid.

It will increase the GDP per capita of the Philippines because lesser people to divide the GDP with.

​​@@sunnywintermorning1941 Nah. The real problem is that sure there will be less people but the majority can turn into poor people because it its the poor who are as usual the ones making the most amount of kids. If anything we need more education especially to the poor and to uplift them to get educated

Yes yes it is

Philippines is not overpopulated. The problem is ur geography it's too tiny. If u have a big land area like Australia. Philippines will be a boooring place.

​@@marlindagomez5766 no, to know what is overpopulated country is, you divid the person and space per square meter. the more condensed, is band. there are country that is way bigger than the philippine but the population is less than the philippine. so the problem is not ur geography. let's not blame our geography - as it is natural. but the problem is our response and approach to our geography.

@@adimardev1550 it is geographical. Most of the populated areas in Philippines is only focus Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao City. We're the population is centered. Most places in the Philippines is isolated so please educate urself

​@@marlindagomez5766 While Australia is large, it only has a small amount of area that can accommodate cities.... Most of Australia is desert without water for a city. There are also nature areas in Australia that are protected, and cannot be built upon.

@@marlindagomez5766 i don't mind discusing geography. geography itself is not enough, i've studied economics and philosophy for 4 years and I know a lot about the philippine and filipinos. but you're being rude. so i advice you to educate yourself on how to act righteously rather than geography.

All the old lies about population control and the exhibits of masses of people in big cities during rush hours and perhaps a procession of the Black Nazarene statue are being used to perpetuate their lies. Just look at the Western and East Asian countries losing their population, unable to maintain their economy due to lack of workers. These evil liars simply want the Philippines to have the same fate as those countries. These so-called commentators are just trolls working for these NGOs who promote abortion and birth control whose pills are abortifacient as well. Moreover, there are plenty of room in the provinces both in the populated areas and undeveloped areas. A country who maintains their natural birth propagation as of yesteryears will be the economic power of tomorrow. It’s as simple as that.

I was born in 1980. I talked to my elementary classmate once and asked her if she plans to add more kids. She said no that it's nakakapagod 😂

@@miaya3898 , being busy for the greater glory of God is always good. Tell her she will be rewarded handsomely in the next life.

@@leapdrive she's in the medical field so tama na ang pa self righteous mo

@@miaya3898 , please explain how I’m self-righteous, or are you just on the other side of the issue as a non-principled Godless liberal?

That pro-life girl should worry about other things before declining population. She keeps on complaining about the reproductive law but probably hasn't adopted a child. Disgusting mentality to want people to create more children when there is scarcity of resources.

She was talking about the future bud.

@@sunnywintermorning1941 Nobody can predict the future. Nobody can say yet if this trend will continue in the PH. It might correct itself to be 2.5 per woman in the future. Masyadong exaggerated naman itong nasa video. Doomsday scenario agad.

​@@sunnywintermorning1941 The problem is that it is really the middle class that is opting to have less kids while the poor are the ones making too much kids. Long term there will be less people but the majority may be the uneducated poor ones unless the government and culture itself makes adjustments

hyaan muna pre! akala nila wlang backlash daw.

I strongly agree.

Millenials and Gen Z mostly identify as lgbt.

​@@raphaelloferrer220 Kabadingan is the most effective birth control yet free

That mentality will kill the economy, who will contribute to the pension fund if we have more oldies than young ones? Each family should have at least two (2) kids to replace them or else the fund will be depleted or the remaining young population will be taxed a tantamount just to replenish the fund..

⁠@@markm_koko That’s the “oldies’” fault for ONLY relying on the state pension fund. The younger generation is tired of carrying the burden of others when WE can barely make ends meet. With a decrease in supply of labor (population decline), job vacancies would eventually ensue, and businesses will be propelled to pay more for employee retention. More purchasing power for everyone, and everyone is happy.

Lol imagine getting a degree for engineering and ending up as a waiter. How are the uneducated people going to get a job if they require a degree for the most simple of tasks. Even saw one requiring a degree to be a cashier. A high school diploma should be sufficient for that.

Overpopulation is not the problem..

@@marlindagomez5766 overpopulation sure does contribute to that. Just like it contribute to other things like traffic and crime.
