Philippines Statistics Overview - Population Census, Labor and Employment, Family Income, Education (Literacy Rate), Consumer Price Index, Establishments

Yesterday, I was able to grab a copy of the latest NSO-NCR's Fact Sheet No. 3 Series 2012, NSO's most requested statistical data about the Philippines. 

I am sharing with you the updated information about the Philippines especially its population, private building construction, BMDs (births, marriages and deaths), labor and employment, family income and expenditure, education (literacy rate), consumer prices, and business and industry.

Philippines population surpasses 100-million mark

The population of the Philippines has now reached 100 million, with an actual number of 101,833,938 as of July 2011, the website of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reveals.

The democratic nation places itself at 12th place, behind Mexico, in the ranks of the highly populated nations of the world.

The controversial RH (Reproductive Health) Bill, which for one tackles and addresses the rising incidences of premarital sex among teenagers, must now be carefully overhauled by the government, weighing out options either siding with the Roman Catholic faith or with the control of the population's imminent boom.

The inaction of the government against curbing population inflation will definitely have an impact on the economy. Furthermore, poverty is pending on the rise.
