Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Measures the number of inhabitants of the Philippines and how it changes over time. It is published by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and is a structural indicator that underpins many economic and social ratios, such as GDP per capita, density and per-head rates.
How it's calculated
Derived from population censuses and from vital and migration statistics (births, deaths and net migration), which are used to update the figure between censuses. It is usually reported as a headcount at an annual reference date.
Market implications
Demographic trends shape the economy's potential growth, the labour market, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. In the Philippines, a young and expanding population underpins domestic demand and the supply of labour.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency series: inter-census figures are estimates subject to revision once new censuses or better migration statistics become available, and are especially sensitive given the Philippines' large overseas workforce.
