- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Birth rate is a method used to determine the level of population increase and decrease in a country.
The birth rate is calculated based on the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population over a specific period, usually one year.
Citing World Population Review, here are the birth rates in Southeast Asian countries, from highest to lowest in 2022:
1. Philippines - 23.4
2. Laos - 23.2
3. Cambodia - 22.5
4. Malaysia - 18.8
5. Myanmar - 16.9
6. Indonesia - 15.9
7. Vietnam - 15.2
8. Brunei Darussalam - 13.9
9. Thailand - 11
10. Singapore - 8.5
The birth rate per 1,000 inhabitants in the Philippines is the highest among other Southeast Asian countries, at 23.4. The reason is that a significant portion of the Philippine population still lacks knowledge about family planning methods and birth control.
Approximately 28% of women in the Philippines marry very young, under 20 years old, and they lack access to birth control. In impoverished communities, many women resort to abortion as a means of population control.
