- Admin Goodwill - "Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in the Philippines was 6 babies per fertile woman in 1975. Without any aggressive program for birth control over the last 30 years, that rate has fallen to 3.1 babies today through such natural trends as later marriages, education of women, urbanization and industrialization. In another thirty years, that rate will fall below replacement of 2.1 babies per fertile woman. The birth controllers say that there is nothing to worry about because even at below replacement, population will continue to grow because of a “growth momentum” that can last for decades. What these RH Bill proponents do not tell us is that any growth in population that occurs after the TFR drops below fertility rate will be in the number of those over 65, i.e. people will be living longer and longer. Labor force, however, will start to shrink with the consequent financial burden on a economy that has to support more and more retired people with less and less productive workers." cbcpforlife/?p=10995
