The Philippines has experienced steady population growth over the past several decades, making it one of the most populous countries in Southeast Asia. As of 2023, the country’s population is estimated to be over 113 million, a significant increase from around 60 million in 1990. This growth is driven by a relatively high birth rate, though it has gradually declined in recent years due to increased access to education and family planning. Despite the slowing growth rate, the Philippines continues to face challenges related to urbanization, resource allocation, and providing adequate social services for its rapidly expanding and youthful population.
