I agree,because we must concern with the law covering in our country like reproductive health, population policy, two child policy and sex education for the youth. And to the promoting of women's health.
The worlds population are out running food supply and leading to decrease food per person. this population control strategy called for the late marriage and sexual abstinence, and only apply to the poor and working classes would assume social responsibility for societal ills. Even if we are in a population control we cannot denigrate man's capacity to increase food supply.
Population control is simply not the solution to poverty, poverty has not been reduce curbing graft and corruption as the people do. we are poor because we are too many.
We must stop reproductive health includes abortion. >Dotolio, Hannah Lou

Malthus Theory
I also agree to Malthus Theory that we will have birth control especially in the Philippines because Philippines is one of the most populated country in Asia.
As we see now a days, Philippines is facing economic crisis so it is important to educate the people about sex to let them know the advantages and the disadvantages it brings. Because if we will not educate them especially the teenagers, they will not know how to face the problem of getting pregnant at early ages and if this will happen, they can not support the daily needs of their children because they don't have jobs and they are still relying on to their parents and how can they buy the needs of their children if the foods and other products are very expensive! Yet, still we
have to promote Family Planning or Two Child Policy and we have to face reality that we have economic crisis because of our corrupt leaders.

malthus theory
I agree to the Malthus theory because I believe that using contraceptives is a very practical about the discussion of rapid population growth. It discuss about the problems regarding to our nations and it is related to population growth because of this it can affect to our nation regarding about economic problem that we can encounter today. Base on our economic issues it can cause crisis and became poor. Two child policy, some countries have this rules because they want the parents to become responsible and to have a better life or what we called Family Planning but in this case some other country have shorten workers because of this policy so in Economic point of view some industry hired other workers in other country.
I also agree with sex education because it helps us especially teenagers not to be ignorant about sex. It helps us to control and know our limitations. It teaches us the advantages and disadvantages of sex and to make us be aware. Late marriage has good and bad effects. The good effects is that it can help on birth control, on the side the woman’s life will be in danger and there would be a possibility that she will not be able to deliver well the baby.
Malthus Theory has the potential to our Economic because it tackles about the main problem in our country like population growth, two child policy, Family Planning and Sex Education. Malthus is very concern about the status of our economy. Malthus want the people to become productive responsible and a concern in Economy.

population decline is not necessary the answer on why we're struggling in poverty now.why cant they decline graft and corruption instead??that would be a good start.but can we trust our leaders to cooperate??no, of course!their too busy putting up their greedy intentions into action.
This article by Antonio Montalvan simply presents its strong stand against Malthus theory and the very hot issues of the Philippine government on anti-life and anti-family bills.And I stood against Montalvan's principle and wanted to dispute and rebut about it. Yah, there are still other factors to be seen, but at large, population is dragging the country's economy.
Yes! I attest to the line, "The proposed bills are premised on the belief that we are poor because we are too many." And many of those who have more number of children are those under the low class. See! No matter how will you educate these group of people, like the natives, the "badjaos" and the other very least class in level --- they will not go for that.I understand this point, "Fewer births may (or may not) mean less expense for a family, depending on its priorities. What is certain however, is that less births means less people for the labor force in the next 20 years. Higher population densities do not necessarily translate into lower personal income". But, I strongly dropped this explanation! Why? What can you expect from a group of people having more numbers of children without quality input of resources? Our country is not charting of producing low-performing individuals. What can you expect from the "badjaos" flooding the streets? What can you gain from the narrow-minded of most "natives"?I strongly disagree with Montalvan's statement, "Population control is simply not the solution to poverty". I must stress and emphasize that population control is the solution to be saved from poverty and for the nation's economy be elevated.Come on, --- why look for other angles when we are obliged to solve this emerging chaos today! --- Population expolsion explodes like a bomb.Basically, how can a non-working couple having a least of five(5) children without income at all? How can we address basic needs for this? Then, how can situation like this help our country's economy?Let's focus on the fact about Family Income which includes primary income and receipts from other sources received by all family members during the calendar year, as paricipants in any economic activity or as recipients of transfers, pensions, grants, etc. (2000 FIES, NSO). So, what family income does the lower class of family have?Then, how can we coincide Montalvan's idea to this fact? In the Philippine official methodology, the poverty line may be viewed as the minimum income required to meet the food requirements and other non-food basic needs. (1997 Philippine Poverty Statistics, NSCB). How can basic needs be addressed effectively and efficiently, quality-wise if population floods out?Montalvan's insight is out of reality. We should deal with population control seriously otherwise we will be drowned by our own outputs of unhealthy and unwise decisions.
The Philippines is a democratic society through and through. As such, the citizens are allowed to do anything they want in their own rights which is not a violation of the law. The citizens are free to move on their own discretion, although one may argue that this is the reason why so many crimes are committed in the Philippines. Nonetheless, with the independence of the country came the independence of the people which earns high marks for the Philippines on this policy.

A comment of Malthusian theory
If we base in economic point of view, Malthusian theory has a point. Because he wants to minimized the population in our country, so that our economy will rise and I agree in the sex education for the youth to be aware. But I disagree in the population policy and two child policy because if we have those policies, those are the reason why abortion in our country increases and in the eyes of god this is not right. Because abortion is a big sin.

The principle of Population
The article is all about the pricipleof population. One of Thomas Robert Malthus principle is the rather pessimistic principle that foresaw the world's population out running food supply, leading to decrease food per person. In this Malthus principle, I agree that if we think well of our mistakes we can do or decide wisely. If we just guess only it will lead to the down fall of our world's population and out running food supply, leading to the decrease food per person.The basis of their arguments is the mistaken belief that the lowering of population means economic growth and development. Declining or lowering of our population have an advantage and disadvantage, the advantage of declined population is that the people will not suffer poverty, the food supply is enough to provide us.Lowering of population does not mean economic growth and development. When the population is decreasing there's a tendency that our economic will fall. Like China, they have a rule in every family there is one child only or what we call "one child policy". The economic of China didn't develop, it's because of there is no person who can manage the development of their economy and also it's because of their rule, the "onechild policy".
Birth control can help us to develop our economy but not like the policy of China the "one child policy". It must be minimum of 2 children and maximum of 4 children per family.

about montalban
Yes,I agree about this article which state that we should have birth control.In this case we should promote family planning.Having birth control can make our economy to be productive,because nowadays people here in the Philippines doesn't have enough food supply for all the Filipino people.Filipino people doesn't have any work but the population growth are increasing.Maybe havig population control can help our economy in the other side,but it can be a problem because if we have a birth control we people are consider as a human resources if a country does have enough human resources.How can we make our economy developed? We are the one who rule our government and conserve our natural resources.But we should have a good leader that can lead us and a leader who is not corrupt officials so that our economy will develop and improve.

Practically thinking. I do believe abortine drug and devices is one of the best way to prevent population growth. But is an immoral doing, would you do such things like that when you already know that you will be pregnant. When some people are not that disciplined. They usually think that way.
In my own opinion, I believe in Malthus. Yes, late marriage and sexual abstinence can prevent population growth. But this generation, late marriage and sexual abstinence is not the trend. Many teenagers get easily pregnant and get married at the young age.
In the case of our country, Philippines. I think there is no better way to decrease our population growth. The more poor Filipino, the more population increase.

I agree with Mr. MOntalvan II in his article KRIS CROSSING MINDANAO. They're at mathus again which really centered on the "Reproductive HEalth" that the government is pushing today.Reproductive Health Bill which according to the proponent will help promote the use of artificial contraception in promoting women's health. This bill is premised on the belief that we are poor because we are too many. Further more,this bill was proposed to curb population growth that resulted to high poverty.
Now, they sited the Malthus principles that foresow the world's population out running food supply,leading to decrease food per person.Malthus theory as applied in other countries was succesful in declining population growth but create another problem.The problem which other countries believed on MAlthus principles is now adressing the grim reality of the deminishing human resources.Japan,Italy & Germany are now in the throes of the so called "demographic winter".Demographic winter is define as the decline in the human family. Now there are many countries who had believed Malthus principle are now offering insentives to encouraged child bearing in the attempt to curb population decline.And we dont want Philippines to experience such.Because higher population densities dont necessarily translate into lower personal income.
As they argued that the decline in population means economic growth,lower poverty but its not citing the study done in the past years shows a decline in population but no decline in poverty.Again reproductive health is not a solution of high poverty because of high population.Government must adressed population explosion which could not affect the moral aspect of the Filipinos as the church opposed to the reproductive health.
So,I agree with Montalvan,lets put a stop to use of the teran reproductive health."And I believe these quote"The Family is Crucial to a well Functioning economy particularly in modern economy base on innovation,new ideas and development.

an issue that needs to be tackled
Mr. Montalban stated his disagreement on population control with the use of contraceptives and stressed that population shouldn't be blamed on the problems that we, Filipinos are experiencing nowadays (particularly the problems on food shortage and the exploitation of our natural resources). Thus, Thomas Robert Malthus was not optimistic about the overpopulation and suggested that only ‘moral restraint’ (birth control) could prevent crisis. My stand in this issue is that, the people should be knowledgeable enough tho know what they are capable. Whether they want to have alot of children or not, as lon g as the will be able to provide their children's necessities. People should be given that certain freedom to choose what the want. Considering these people (Montalban and Malthus), I would have agreed to Sir Montalban's perspective because it is not only the population to be blamed . There are alot of contributing factors such as the mismanagement of our recent government. We have alot of resources to provide our needs it's all up to the proper way of management whether to maximize the resources we have or just simply not use it properly. A great example iin which I'm much favor of Montalban is the overpopulation in China and even a great number of people in the USA. They were able to maximixe the people. With that, they had a lot of labor force which in return the people or their constituent is benefited. It's just proper way of handling a situation. And with this issue, the people should be given freedom to choose their will.

MontaLvAn iSsuEs:
For me, i disagree with the issue concerning the population control because we are christian and we do believe that the bible says we should not take life thus we should bring life. Well, population control like contraceptives is clearly an act of crime because you take life. In our crisis today, i think population is not to be blame, we people is responsible for our self. Besides there are lots of ways in improving our economics. It's in the person's will of determination in order to be successful.
For me I agreed to Malthus theory.Projection of population growth made by Thomas Malthus. He based his theory on the population explosion that was already becoming evident in the 18th century, and argued that the number of people would increase faster than the food supply. Population would eventually reach a resource limit (overpopulation). Any further increase would result in a population crash, caused by famine, disease, or war. Malthus was not optimistic about the outcome and suggested that only ‘moral restraint’ (birth control) could prevent crisis. Recent famines in Ethiopia and other countries, where drought, civil war, and poverty have reduced agricultural output, might suggest that Malthus was correct. In the USA, the UK, and many other countries, the agrarian revolution boosted food production, and contraception led to a decline in birth rate; and in some countries population control policies have been introduced.
(M) YAÑEZ,Leonilo D.
My reaction with this article is, we have a greater population so we have a sufficient manpower but their skills does not fit for the job and we have no sufficient food supplies to support them. For example right now in our country we are facing rice shortage due to our over populated country, almost 75% is on poverty line because their parents did not send them to school some they get a wrong course they did not choose the en demand course, while having a lesser population there be a shortage in manpower so the country production become slow and it also concern the income of the country.
I`m not against any contraception or any drug that regulate pregnancy. I`m trying to state to every responsible parents or couple that should keep on their mind that if they want a large family they can sustain the needs and educate their children.

I agree about the population control and early teaching in sex education.The reason why i agreed on it is that, first, when population of unemployed and children increases and the population of employed decreases there is a big possibility that the food supply is not enough. Second, overpopulated can cause pollution. On the other hand, early teaching of sex education on us youth will be effective for population control. Because the curiousity of the youth about sex will be answered and they will learn about the effects of earl sex. With that our economy will rise
Every filipino have the right and freedom in their everyday lives.I believe not all the theory of thomas robert malthus in using contraceptive for the birth contol in order to decrease our population in the philippines.But i opposed sex education especially in early childhood because they learned early about that things.It's not good for us youth.

All I can say about Montalvan is he referring the advocates of Malthus Theory, which is the Anti-life and Anti-family who seem not to run of clever, and agenda into every conceivable legislation that they can think of. According to Malthus in the Economic point of view, that he argued that as wages increase within an economy, the birth-rate increases while the death-rate decreases. He reasoned that high incomes allowed people to have sufficient means to raise their children, thus resulting in greater desire to have more children, which increases the population.
In addition, high incomes also allowed people to afford proper medication to fight off potentially harmful diseases, thus decreasing the death rate. As a result, wage-increases caused population to grow as the birth-rate increases and the death-rate decreases.
He further argued that as the supply of labor increases with the increased population-growth at a constant labor demand, the wages earned would decrease eventually to subsistence, where the birth rate equals the death rate, resulting in no growth in population. However, the world generally has experienced quite a different result than the one Malthus predicted.
Malthus assumed a constant labor-demand in his assessment of
In addition, Malthus have a great contribution in the economics which the theory of population. According to Malthus, population tends to increase faster than the supply of food available for its needs. Whenever a relative gain occurs in food production over population growth, a higher rate of population increase is stimulated; on the other hand, if population grows too much faster than food production, the growth is checked by famine, disease, and war. Malthus's theory contradicted the optimistic belief prevailing in the early 19th century, which a society's fertility would lead to economic progress. Malthus's theory won supporters and was often used as an argument against efforts to better the condition of the poor.

All I can say about Montalvan is the delivery of their advocates is well explain by the combination of Robert Malthus theory about Anti-Life and Anti-Family advocates. By Robert Malthus he explain that about how can we control population growth of our country, so that our economy here would became productive and to be successful. Moreover, in the basis of his arguments is that belief that a decline in population means economic growth and development. Robert Malthus was men who introduce the whole concern of our country. What would be happen if the population continues increasing?
In his theory, Robert Malthus said that the population growth geometrically and the food production grows arithmetically. The more population growth the more lack of food supply must be provided for many people. He said also that the one of the very controversial economy of the country is human resources; it is he reason why the countries are successful. As if the government of

Base on my Economic point of view, it is really advisable to lessen the population growth by using a sort of contraceptives.. hmmpf!!. hehe..
'Coz as we all know, over populated places are usually suffering the so called starvation and poverty, and that is the common problem we are facing right now.
And the best solution for this is to educate people especially the youth about the "FAMILY PLANNING". Other thought, that it would be better to execute abortion but, practicing this is a crime. Hindi naman ito ang paraan para mabawasan ang pagdami ng tao sa'ting mundo. Sa panahong ito marami ng mga kabataan ngayon who are facing this kind of situation. kaya naman bilang teenager, kailangan na maging maingat tayo sa pagpili ng ating kakaibiganin, dahil minsan malaking impluwensya din ang barkada sa atin.

I agree in this article according at having a population control. Herein

As for me, I agree this policy for limiting the size of the children for it is to make sure that the children are taken care of adequately, it is a concrete way of showing love for them, it helps married people realize and accept not only for their desire in parenthood but also for their responsibilities involved. On the other hand also, as the belief among parents is that the more children they have, the greater is the chance that one of them will become professional and will give honor to the family and that their children are their greatest and best investment who can help them lighten the heavy burden of the family upbringing and loving. According also to the Roman Catholic Church that, that is sinful to attempt to control or regulate generative process of child-bearing. Lastly, for some parents executed the “bahala na!” attitude and the glaring escape from responsibility is the belief that God will provide.
The means usually suggest to reduce growth is family planning. The terms population control and population planning are often used in family planning decision but even where the family planning has been widespread, population is not necessarily control. If individual couple gives full of freedom of choice is the average decide for have so many children. The birth rate and the rate of the population growth will remain high, so I can considered that the family planning may help in population policy, and also may be it is the responsibility of the state to provide incentives to control the rapid population growth.
Young people specially shared are deeply concerned about the consequence of rising birth because of is they- the future generation of Filipinos. After they have all the information they can decide for their selves what they would do. It gives young people an opportunity to make their views on education and ensure wider participation in sex education programs. By means of this program they can supplement information received in school to better inform and prepared them in their role as future parents.
It is essential that the woman be involved that merely an acceptor of this and that contraceptive device, but us makes of decision and active participants in equal basis with men in policies which will profoundly affect their lives. It concludes that the best measure was the control of women had over her own life, and they found that family planning contributed difficulty to their condition by enabling women to exercise other rights such as education, employment and participation in political life. As long as the role of motherhood and their involvement in society remain limited, women do not have a truly free choice in exercising their rights to regulate their own fertility. Improving the health of mothers by helping they avoid too many closely spaced pregnancies.
Even if Malthus is succesful, I won't believe in it.. Why?
I wont't believe at it Sir Loberiano,its because not all the phillipno people ang nakakaintindi sa kanya at kung nagtataka lang po ako, dahil kung matagumpay iyong sinasabi nyang family planning at sex education ehhh bakit ang nagsusuffer pa tayu ngayon ng over-population at lalo na sa pagkain.Aw(kaon man gud naa sa akung utok).. at gusto ko lang pong sabihin na ang dapat na gagawain ay hindi sa grupo at hindi tungkulin ng pamahalaan ito kundi tungkulin ng isang tao na magbago at marunong mag disiplina sa kanyang sarili.I just wanted to suggest discipline sir, well lets go other countries like AMERICA,JAPAN, and more other improing country. I have searched that discpiline is 1 of the greatest weapon to each and everyone of us. Kase sa nababasa ko eh iyong mga taong nakatira sa Japan at sa america ay purong disiplinado at dahil disiplinado sila ehh madali nilang nakikita ang problema nila sa kanilang economiya at madali nilang mapatay ito. At ang nakakatawa lang po eh konti nlang ng mamamayan sa pilipinas ang sumusunod sa FAMILY PLANNING at ibang mga teenagers natin ay wala na, ang nasa isipan ay mag-asawa dahil hindi nila alam ang magdisiplina sa kanilang sarili kaya tumigil nag-asawa, may maraming anak, pero walang perang pampakain at umaasa pa sa kanilang mga magulang. In economic point of view that this is a very bad problem and im sure 100% na mas marami pa ang naghihirap kaysa maginhawa. iyan lang po sir. Gusto ko lang pong sabihin ito dahil ito po ang gusto kong i-comment or ito ang naiisip ko.

base on my understanding,the article of montalvan is about the reproductive system in our community. in his article we must lessen the production in every family to have a better life and have a bettre future.
her studies are more on population growth, and among in her solutin. we have to control our marriage and sexual abstinence and we have to agree in that solution for the sake of our natoinwide.

Problems are never an easy way to solve it.in order to solve it,there should be sacrifices and that sacrices will have given consequences.As we all know,Philippines are facing different problems such that population growth,malnutrition,corruption.lack of food supply and etc.I agree with the fact that it says that as our population increases our food supply decreases.Pero di rin lang ang paglaki ng popolasyon ang problema kung di pati rin ang bilihin,maliit na sahod,kawalan ng trabaho at korupsyon.ngunit sa nakikita ko ngayon kahit gaano pa ka dami o kaliit ang miyembro ng pamilya ay kukulangin at kukulangin pa rin sa paggasta ang isang pamilya.Malthus Theory propose that to prevent population growth is to apply late marriage,sexual abstinence,or moral restraint and I agree with it.In order for us to live peacefully,we should know how to nurture the relatinship and our future children and support them emotionally and financially.Its for our own good and to minimize poverty in our country.Mag-anak lang ng kaya sa bulsa upang maiwasan ang problema sa gutom na nkadalasang nahahantong sa aborsyon,sapagkat ito ay kawalan ng moralidad.sa mga nakaraang buwan nga ay maraming balita tungkol sa mga sanggol na tinatapon kung saan-saan at hindi solusyon ang aborsyon.In order to decline population,we must apply "family planning" and "late marriage".kundi rin lang natin ito gasgawin ay tayo rin lang ang magdudusa at gumagawa ng sarili nating problema sa sarili nating bansa.kaya nararapat lang siguro na gawin natin kung ano ang makabubuti para sa ating at para sa susunod na henerasyon.Mostly,we should how to put limitations.

We must fight against with graft and corruption. As a youth on this generation, we must help our country to raise up not to fell down. We must also pay exact bills or taxes. Population must control because our country cannot success. We must stop live-in relationship, abortion, divorce and homosexuality because not preserving our culture. Finally, we must put stop to use this term"reproductive health" because simply a catch all jargon that includes abortion. In live-in relationship, if they love each other why not marry. And all i can say is to raise up our country and to fight against all odds.

sex education is yes indeed an answer because with this hindi tayo nagiging ignorant at we can easily prevent it because we knew the effects that will soon arise...at dapat ay maalaman din ng mga mahihirap ang tungkol dito ng maiiwasan ang maagang pag bubuntis at ang abortion....with this it can help our government decrease and solve the problem of over population...that's all..hehehe

"MONTALVAN"
Para sa akin, mas bigyang pansin ng pamahalaan ang populasyon ng ating bansa upang maiwasan ang pagdami ng mga tao. Gamitin ang TRUST FAMILY PLANNING. Upang mabawasan ang laki ng ating populasyon ngayon. Turuan ang mga mahihirap kung paano kontrolin ang pagdami ng kanilang mga anak.
wala lang
Maawain rocks..
aw sakto oi?
good luck sa tanan sa ilang mga comments wahihihi
Malthus itetch

About Montalvan
KRIS-CROSSING MINDANAOThey’re at Malthus again
By Antonio J. Montalvan IILast updated 01:19am (Mla time) 07/10/2006
Published on page A15 of the July 10, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
I AM REFERRING TO THE ANTI-LIFE AND ANTI-family advocates who seem not to run out of clever ways to insert their Western-based agenda into every conceivable legislation they can think of. Now they would have 21 bills of various concerns consolidated into an omnibus law covering reproductive health, population policy, two-child policy and sex education for the youth. Of the bills, at least three promote the use of artificial contraception in the guise of promoting “women’s health.”
These advocates have turned a valid societal concern into a euphemism for their real agenda-population control. If they really want to address women’s health, why is there no attempt to include Senate Bill 319? The bill seeks to ban abortive drugs and devices. The bills exclusion gives away outright the sinister intentions of the advocates.
The basis of their arguments of course, is the erroneous belief that a decline in population means economic growth and development. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English demographer from 1766-1834. It was he who introduce the rather pessimistic principle that foresaw the world’s population out running food supply, leading to decrease food per person.
To check population growth, Mathus advocated, among other solutions, what we called “moral restraint and vice.” This population control strategy called for the late marriage and sexual abstinence; but is also advocated infanticides, murder, contraception and homosexuality. But there’s the catch in the Malthus proposal: these solutions would apply only to the poor and working classes. In the Mathusian argument, only the lower social classes would assume social responsibility for societal ills.
Since then many have misinterpreted Malthus, even overlooking other aspects of his argument. For example, there are those who ignore for the fact that Malthus himself, even as he pressed for population control, stated that we cannot denigrate man’s capacity (he called it power) to increase food supply.
Those who do cling to Malthus’ theory up to this day misinterpret not just for his thought. In there vain desire to adopt the western culture of licentious behavior in the name of freedom and self-determination, they have put up their own smokescreen to keep them from seeing a succession of various scholars and students that have effectively debunked Malthus since 1960’s. At least one such study, published in 1966, was not only a pioneering initiative at that time; it gaves its proponent a Nobel prize honor. Since then, up until 1990’s and the present, a progression of other studies has only pointed to the emerging reality: there just is no population bomb.
Not only that, countries that have been lured by the Malthusian myth into running a “successful” population program now have to address the grim reality of diminishing human resources. Japan, Germany and Italy are now in the throes of the so called “ demographic winter.” The governments of Russia, Singapore, South Korea, and Bulgaria are now offering incentives to encourage childbearing in the attempt to curb population decline.
Yet here in the Philippines, anti-life advocates-usually pikon when criticize despite the fact that they have access to the legislative powers-that-be-cling to an out-of-touch, outdated and archaic thinking that even their Western gods have failed to prove in their respective countries. The advocates seem not to hear the alarm bells ringing in countries where the demographic winter has set in, countries that are now repentant at having toyed with Malthus theory.
Why the recalcitrance on the part of our anti-life advocates? There clearly a colonial agenda here that is tied to Western purse strings. These agenda-makers may not be obtrusive with their presence. It is even possible that some advocates are aware of them or have not yet notice them. But I won’t be surprise if there lurks in the shadows such anti-life giant octopuses as Planned Parenthood, whose tentacles may have spread far and wide to influence Philippine legislative efforts.
Population control is simply not the solution to poverty. The Philippine population control program, in place since the 1970’s and funded by billions of pesos of public money, has brought down the population from 3.08 percent during the period of 1960-1970 to 2.36 percent during the period 1995-2000. Despite the population decline, however, poverty incidence has not been reduce significantly. Clearly then, there are other factors that are not being address. Try curbing graft and corruption, as we expects legislators to do.
The proposed bills are premised on the belief that we are poor because we are too many. Fewer births may (or may not) mean less expense for a family, depending on its priorities. What is certain however, is that less births means less people for the labor force in the next 20 years. Higher population densities do not necessarily translate into lower personal income. We have certainly seen this in thickly populated areas that exhibit higher incomes and greater economic activity (the National Capital Region, Southern Tagalog, Cebu, Davao, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea; as opposed to Bolivia, Kenya, Ethiopia, which have lower density but also lower personal income)
Finally, when must we put a stop to the use of the term “reproductive health” which, in international forums, is simply a catch-all jargon that includes abortion; but which local advocates have repeatedly denied? The attempt to redefine a term that has become part of an all-encompassing political definition is a lame method of deceit and dishonesty.
