Abstract:
The research aims to provide a closer look at the relationship between economic factors and the fertility rate in the Philippines. The economic factors will be based on the models of fertility written by Davis and Blake in 1956. The researchers used the variables of Gross Domestic Product, Female Unemployment Rate, Male Unemployment Rate, and Inflation Rate as independent variables and saw the relationship of these variables with the Fertility Rate. The results of the regression analysis show a significant relationship between the variables, with having a positive relationship between.

Abstract:
The population of the Philippines continues to grow over the years, which leads to different economic concerns. The aim of this study is to determine the significance of the Reproductive Health Law and female unemployment rate on fertility rate in the country. Most studies imply a negative relationship between female unemployment rate, GNI per capita, registered marriages, and reproductive health programs on fertility rate. The result of these studies adheres to the author’s claim that there is a negative relationship among variables. A quantitative research design was used in this study. The used of multiple regression analysis examined the relationship of each explanatory variable to fertility rate based on the data gathered from 1980 to 2020. Results show that RH Law has a negative relationship on fertility rate, while unemployment rate has a positive relationship on fertility rate. This indicates that fertility rate declines because of the implementation of the RH Law that will result to slowdown the increase in population.

Abstract:
A soil fertility assessment survey was conducted at Barangay Aglayan, Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines, on selected farms to assess the soil chemical properties (pH, OM, Extractable P and Exchangeable K) of sugarcane farms. A survey questionnaire was used to gather information among farms and a total of twenty-two (22) sugarcane farms were collected for soil samples and analyzed at the Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory, College of Agriculture, Central Mindanao University. The 22 sugarcane farms surveyed in of Barangay Aglayan, Malaybalay, Bukidnon were identified as very strongly acidic, have medium organic matter content, low extractable phosphorus and very low in exchangeable potassium. These results demonstrated that the sugarcane farms in Bukidnon need amendments to meet the recommended soil test values for sugarcane. The results of this study have provided basic information to generate a soil nutrient map of sugarcane farms in Bukidnon, Philippines.

Kuang, Bernice. "Cohabitation and nonmarital fertility in the Philippines." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2018. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/422167/.

Full text
Abstract:
Cohabitation and nonmarital fertility have been emerging worldwide. While these family behaviours are well studied in Western countries, less is known about Asian contexts, where cohabitation is usually less common and nonmarital fertility is highly stigmatized. In the Philippines however, cohabitation and nonmarital fertility have increased rapidly. Paradoxically, other family behaviours remain persistently conservative, such as high fertility and early childbearing, and divorce is illegal. This thesis uses mixed methods to examine cohabitation and nonmarital fertility in the Philippines. The first paper considered a mixed methods approach. Quantitative data from the Demographic and Health Surveys 1993-2013 (DHS) were used to examine age patterns of marital and nonmarital fertility, and the analysis showed a young pattern of nonmarital fertility. Qualitative findings suggest that childbearing remains highly valued, while attitudes toward cohabitation and nonmarital childbearing have liberalized, leading to the postponement of marriage without a concurrent postponement of relationships and childbearing. The second paper applied a competing risks hazard model to the most recent DHS to study the educational gradient of cohabitation, demonstrating that lower levels of education are significantly associated with a higher risk of cohabitation. This suggests that the rising cohabitation in the Philippines is more linked to socioeconomic disadvantage than the devaluing of marriage among educated elites. The third paper used qualitative data from focus groups to examine how people view cohabitation compared with marriage, and their benefits and disadvantages in order to understand social norms around partnership behaviours and whether they reflect more individualistic or family-centric orientations. Results revealed emphasis placed on love and personal fulfilment in relationships, and a level of ambivalence toward marriage, suggesting an individualistic approach to relationships. Nonetheless, childbearing remains central to self-actualization, and relationships were often viewed from a family and child-centric perspective. The case of the Philippines demonstrates that while family systems may evolve over time in tandem with global trends, country and context specific interdependencies are important to consider. The emergence of new family behaviours and attitudes in the Philippines are not solely products of modernization or liberalization but instead represent the competing and interrelated influences of religion, policy, social and cultural norms.

Abstract:
This study is an investigation of the effect of religiosity on fertility among the adherents of Islam, specifically on the three Muslim ethnic groups in southern Philippines, the Sama of Tawi-Tawi, the Yakan of Basilan and the Tausug of Sulu. The data are derived from the KAP Survey Among Muslim Couples in Region IX (Western Mindanao), 1981 conducted by the Western Mindanao State University. The findings from the analysis confirmed the general hypothesis that the greater the degree of religious commitment or religiosity the higher the fertility. Muslim couples who scored higher on the religiosity index exhibited higher fertility (as measured by mean number of children ever born) and had larger family size ideals than did those who scored lower. An inverted U-shaped association was shown between religiosity and number of family planning methods known. The positive relationship between religiosity and fertility was shown by both cross-tabulation and multiple classification analysis (MCA) even after controlling for some demographic and socio-economic factors. However, religiosity was not as strong a predictor of the three fertility-related variables used in this study in comparison to other determinants of fertility. Education was the most important predictor followed by husband's occupation and ethnicity.

Full text
Abstract:
Using 1983 National Demographic Survey (NDS) data on currently married women and been married only once, this study examines childspacing differentials among Filipino women utilizing life table techniques. In particular, the subsequent birth from parity 1 to parity 5 are examined in relation to women's current place of residence, education, contraceptive use, experience of infant mortality and current age. Examination shows that in Metro Manila and other urban areas, the proportion of women having subsequent birth tended to decline faster after the second birth. In rural areas, the proportion of women having subsequent birth from parity 1 to parity 5 shows only a slight tendency to decline. Compared with rural women, women in Metro Manila and other urban areas have longer birth intervals after the second birth. Younger women have second births sooner but a smaller proportion have subsequent births and they have longer birth intervals at third and higher births than older women. This manifests changing attitudes towards reproductive behaviour among Filipino women. Results of the analysis confirm the negative effect of education on fertility. Women of higher education exhibit a lower proportion having subsequent births and longer birth intervals after the second birth than women of lesser education. The effect of women's experience of contraceptive use on the quantum and timing of fertility is observed to operate more at the higher parities. In other urban and rural areas, the proportion of ever-users of contraception having further births is lower than for never-users after the second birth but after the third birth in Metro Manila. The study gives further empirical evidence of the effect of infant mortality on fertility behaviour. For each birth order the death of the previous child within the first year of life tended to increase the proportion of women having a subsequent birth, and shortened the average intervals between births.

Full text
Abstract:
Compared to some of its neighbouring countries, fertility has declined only slow]y in the Philippines in the last two decades, with a total fertility rate of about six children in the early 1970s to about four children in the early 1990s. The relatively slow fertility decline of the 1970s decelerated in the 1980s. This slow decline is largely due to the relatively small rise in age at marriage and the stagnation in the use of modem contraception in the 1980s after a continuous rise in the previous decade. In addition, traditional methods - calendar rhythm and withdrawal - have continued to remain important in overall contraceptive prevalence, and the use of contraceptive methods has been characterised by relatively high failure rates. Three interwoven sets of forces have shaped fertility control attitudes, accessibility and practice in the Philippines: culturalreligious proscriptions, the decline in government support to the family planning program and economic setbacks.

Abstract:
The main purpose of this study is to ascertain the extent to which the fertility of migrant women in the Philippines is different from that of non-migrants. The 1983 National Demographic Survey (NDS) was the source of data for attaining the objectives of this study and ascertaining: (1) the profile of migrants at the time of first move; (2) the characteristics of migrants and non-migrants at the time of survey; (3) differences in cumulative and current fertility behaviour according to migration status; (4) differences in average pregnancy intervals of migrants before and after their latest move with those of non-migrants; and (5) whether differences in the fertility pattern among the sampled currently married women was due to the moves they have made or some other explanatory variables. The primary investigation included the use of crosstabulations, standardizations, and multivariate analysis (specifically, multiple classification analysis). Relatively minor support was accorded to the conceptual framework put forward by the study which was based on traditional concepts rationalizing the interrelationship between fertility and migration. The general pattern that emerged from the tables on cumulative fertility of migrants and non-migrants points to very little variation in the mean number of children ever born in younger ages but some distinct differences in older ages, even after controlling for education, labour force participation and contraceptive use status. The findings on current fertility, as demonstrated by the age-specific marital fertility rates, point to lower fertility among migrants whose place of destination was urban and higher fertility among those whose place of destination was rural. But again, the differences are not pronounced. When contrasting the pregnancy intervals of migrants after their latest move with the average pregnancy intervals of non-migrants, the findings illustrate the propensity of the latter to have longer pregnancy intervals. The resulting figures, however, reveal only slight differences between the two. This, more or less, concurs with the findings from the analysis of cumulative and current fertility. Finally, results of the multiple classification analysis indicate that migration had a negligible contribution to explaining the variations in cumulative fertility compared to the other socio-economic and demographic variables included in the model. One possible conclusion is that migration does not in itself raise fertility rates by bringing high fertility women in urban areas. However, because migration is age selective and contributes to inflating the age groups in the peak reproductive years, it has the potential to raise the number of births in cities and contribute to the natural increase in urban growth. Hence, it may be worthwhile considering the strategy of using the country's population redistribution policy as a mechanism for fertility reduction.

Full text
Abstract:
Rapid population growth, poor and uneven economic performance, and slow progress in health and education are interrelated phenomena. However, while there is strong support for public policies aimed at economic recovery and human resource development in the Philippines, there is still a lack of consensus on the need for public policy to moderate population growth and on the role of a government-sponsored family planning program in overall population and development activities. This paper examines alternative population projections and analyzes the contribution to future population growth of unwanted fertility, high desired family size, and population momentum. The aims are to highlight the multiple policy responses that are needed to moderate rapid population growth and to clarify a number of factors that have prevented the development of a consensus on Philippine population policy.

Full text
Abstract:
This report, which summarizes the major study findings on population and family planning (FP) trends in the Philippines, was prepared for the Research Unit of the Family Planning Services (FPS) of the Department of Health (DOH). It was used by the FPS in its National Consultative Planning Workshop in early 1994 to formulate plans for the Philippine Family Planning Program for 1994–1995. Workshop participants included DOH Regional Family Planning Coordinators, representatives of local government offices engaged in population and health activities, and local NGOs and women's groups. The report alerted participants to population and FP issues and trends that could assist them in formulating their FP program targets and strategies in their own areas and localities. Study findings are organized into those relating to indicators of demand, and those bearing on the supply of FP services. Considering the large number of population and FP studies that have been made to date, this review limits itself to a presentation of related trends in fertility and FP awareness, approval, and use over time. The report provides a backdrop for the formulation and implementation of local action plans to advance the national FP program.

Male involvement through reproductive health awareness in Bukidnon Province, the Philippines: An intervention study. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1052.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent years have been characterized by an increasing consensus that, in order to support women's goals and aspirations, health programs directed to the improvement of women's and children's health must consider men's perspectives. Although family planning (FP) is often viewed as the woman's responsibility, men have an important role in decisions of whether FP will be practiced and which method will be used. Even though gender relations in the Philippines are often characterized as being relatively egalitarian, there are several reasons for believing that male involvement in FP is highly relevant for this country. Studies indicate that not only are Filipino husbands accorded a disproportionate share of power in conjugal decision-making about matters pertaining to sexuality, fertility, and FP, but also that their reluctance to use FP is a contributory factor underlying the country’s significant unmet need. As stated in this report, the long-term goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of involving men as partners in the Reproductive Health Awareness intervention on the basis of degree of support for FP use, use of male-oriented methods, and more couple communication on family formation matters.

Facts about adolescents from the Demographic and Health Survey—Statistical tables for program planning: Philippines 1998. Population Council, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/pgy21.1036.

Full text
Abstract:
The Population Council initiated its work on adolescents in the mid-1990s. At that time, those advocating greater attention to adolescent issues were concerned about adolescent fertility—particularly outside of marriage—and adolescent “risk-taking” behavior. As an international scientific organization with its mandate centered around the needs of developing countries, the Council sought a more nuanced and context-specific understanding of the problems confronting adolescents in the developing world. In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to develop programs to address that diversity. In the absence of data, many adolescent policies were implicitly based on the premise that the lives of adolescents in developing countries were like those of adolescents in Western countries. In fact, significant numbers of young people in the West do not fit this description, and even larger groups within the developing countries. The Council created tables to more clearly describe the diversity of the adolescent experience by drawing on Philippines Demographic and Health Survey data. The tables, presented in this report, are intended to be used as a basis for developing programs.
