It s a term used to describe population and how it relates to development There are three perspectives on population and economic development
1. Population growth promotes economic development (Slow to moderate population growth promotes economic development) 2. Population growth impedes economic development (Rapid population growth, of already large populations, impedes economic development) 3. Population growth is not related to economic development. (Population growth is only one of many factors that affect economic development)

Population momentum refers to the tendency of a population to continue to grow after replacement-level fertility has been achieved. A population that has achieved replacement or below-replacement fertility may still continue to grow for some decades because past high fertility leads to a high concentration of people in the youngest ages.

Parental Involvement
General belief including among health workers, that discussion on the
use of condoms with young people promotes promiscuity leads young women and men to rely largely on getting information on sex and sexuality from peers which is often inaccurate and incomplete (Commission on Population, 2002). In 1994, premarital sex among Filipino youth was found to be lower (17.4 percent) among those who were raised by both their biological parents compared to those who grew up in a different family set-up (20.0 percent) (Laguna, 2003). In Cebu, Upadhyay and Hindin (2006) found that where parents make household decisions jointly, sons report delaying first sex. In households in which mothers have higher status, daughters report delayed first sex. Galay (2010) found that the probability of having premarital sex decreases as quality of fathering improves

How do we ensure that Filipinos are empowered to make the right decisions toward their desired goals?
