EPEKTO NG PAGBABA NG TFR (TOTAL FERTILITY

RATE)
Total Fertility Rate average number of children a woman will bear
over her lifetime of reproduction (that is, from 14 to 49 years,
although some would include only those from 15 to 45 years).
More technically, the UN Statistics Division defines TFR as the
number of children that would be born per woman, assuming no
female mortality at child bearing ages and the age-specific fertility
rates of a specified country and reference period.
The TFR computation includes not only married women, but all
women. Hence, since many women bear zero or one child, the
rest should bear more than 2.1 if the population is to be replaced.

 Fertility levels in the 44 developed countries, which account for 19

per cent of the world population, are currently very low Fifteen,
mostly located in Southern and Eastern Europe, have reached
levels of fertility unprecedented in human history (below 1.3
children per woman). Since 1990-1995, fertility decline has been
the rule among most developed countries. (UNPD, World
Population Prospect)

EFFECTS OF AGEING POPULATION

Ageing countries will experience demographic winter;
An older national population leads to extreme economic burden;
The increasing number of beneficiaries in proportion to contributors;
gradually overburdens the pension fund and the social security system;
The labor force will be older, less efficient and less capable of learning
new procedures and equipment with the latest technologies;
Having fewer and older people means a smaller market;
The number of children adults in ageing countries have to feed has been
decreasing in the last three decades, hence, parents are able to lavish
them with more material goods. But little did these children know that
when they, few as they are, become adults 30 years later, they would have
to care for an immense number of elderly;

BABIES DESPERATELY NEEDED

1. Restrict or limit contraception
2. Restrict or limit abortion
3. Restrict or limit education of girls
4. Restrict or limit employment of women
5. Facilitate early marriage
6. Match making to encourage marriage
7. Public relation campaigns for marriage, childbearing and
parenthood

 8. Make child-raising a financial option for women (e.g., paid job)

9. Strengthen the economic security of motherhood within the
family
10. Paid maternity leave
11. Paid paternity leave
12. Cash bonus for birth of child
13. Cash payments for dependent children
14. Prenatal, antenatal health care and infertility treatments

 15. Infant and child care facilities

16. Pre-school and after school care facilities
17. Tax benefits or deductions for dependent children
18. Pensions, social security and elder-care services related to
childrearing
19. Part-time work opportunities for parents
20. Flexible working hours
21. Shared parental responsibilities between mothers and fathers

 22. Shared housework among males and females

23. Changed traditional roles of males and females so men take on
more female roles at home
24. Preferences for parents with dependent children, e.g., priorities in
mortgages, housing, loans, government services and benefits, etc.
25. Political/legal system more responsive to couples with children, e.g.,
granting extra voting rights to adults with minor children

 France gives as much as 800 Euros for every child born.

In Laviano, the government gives 10,000 Euros for every child born.
Other cities or provinces provide a 200 Euro or more monthly
subsidy to mothers for every child or second child below two years
old, financially assist corporations to create day care centers in their
premises, set up match-making agencies for young men and
women to hopefully find a spouse, offer tax breaks and so on. Many
advertisements today depict pregnant women in a very positive
way, as if hoping that many others would imitate them.

LEKSYON PARA SA PILIPINAS

Tuluyang ibasura ang anumang panukala tungkol sa
population control;
Gabayan at suportahan ang mga magulang upang
matukoy ang bilang ng anak na kaya nilang palakihin at
pag-aralin;
Pagyamanin ang yamang paggawa/ yamang tao sa halip
na ituring itong hadlang sa kaunlaran

A countrys standard

human capital, which refers to

the skills, education, health and
training of individuals, comprises
around 80% of the wealth of

can be neglected [only] at a

ANG LAKAS-PAGGAWA NG PILIPINAS

Labor force lakas-paggawa ay tumutukoy sa kabuuang
bilang ng manggagawa 15 taon at pataas, kabilang ang
may trabaho, walang trabaho, at naghahanap ng
trabaho.
Labor force participation rate tumutukoy sa ratio ng
kabuuang bilang ng mga taong kabilang sa lakaspaggawa kung ihahambing sa kabuuang populasyon na
may gulang na 15 pataas.

 Employed mga may gulang na 15 pataas na

nagtratrabaho.
Unemployed tumutukoy sa mga pansamantalang
natanggal sa trabaho, naghahanap ng trabaho, o mga nais
magtrabaho.
Underemployed ang mga may trabaho, ngunit hindi
natutugunan ang kumpletong oras ng paggawa dahil sa
sariling kagustuhan o dahil sa hindi makahanap ng full-time
na trabaho.
