Philippines faces economic challenges from falling birth rate and aging population
AlJazeeraEnglish | Philippines faces economic challenges from falling birth rate and aging population ...
Birth rates in the Philippines are falling and the government is concerned about the impact on the country's future. Only a decade earlier, it encouraged smaller families, but that policy seems to have been too successful.
An ageing population and high global demand for Filipino workers, means the authorities may have to develop new strategies.
Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from Manila, Philippines.
