POPULATION

PROBLEM
Philippines Population (LIVE)

 108,495,817
• The current population of the
Philippines is 108,491,240 as of Thursday,
October 3, 2019, based on World meters
elaboration of the latest United Nations data.
• The Philippines 2019 population is estimated
at 108,116,615 people at mid year according
to UN data.
• The Philippines population is equivalent
to 1.4% of the total world population.
• The Philippines ranks number 13 in the list of 
countries (and dependencies) by population.
 Overpopulation is a major cause of most of the
world’s problems. whether it is a question of food
shortage, lack of drinking water or energy shortages,
every country in the world is affected by it – or will
be.

 partly thanks to the import of goods from abroad,

any particular country is able to maintain its own
welfare. but this cannot go on in an unlimited way.
in fact, the number of inhabitants is rising in every
country. the world population is threatening to rise
in the next few decades to 8 or 10 billion. there is a
good chance that more and more countries will need
their own products themselves.
 Our planet can offer a quality of life comparable to that
enjoyed in the European Union to no more than 2 billion
people. With a population of 8 to 10 billion, welfare per person
on a world scale will drop to that of a poor farmer who can
scarcely provide sufficient food for himself and knows nothing
of welfare. And thus we will have to share everything fairly in
order to avoid disputes or war.

 The climate is changing – and it matters little whether this can

be blamed on human activity or on changes in the solar system.
The sea level only has to rise slightly in order to cause a great
deal of valuable agricultural land to disappear. At present we
seem to think that we can keep ahead of famine with the use of
artificial fertilizers, by the inhumane breeding of animals and
other survival strategies.
 Human beings have a tendency to want more and more
welfare. World-wide the numbers of cars and refrigerators
are increasing before our very eyes. But there will come a
time when population growth and welfare collide. There is a
reasonably good chance that floods of people will trek all
over the world searching for more food and welfare.

 Technicians are only too happy to point to technology that

has solutions to all our problems up its sleeve.
Unfortunately technical solutions have not as yet been able
to combat world hunger in any significant way. Wherever
there is no recognition or solving of the problems on a
worldwide scale, war and violence would seem to be
inevitable: everyone wants to survive.
 The only solution is a population policy applied on a
worldwide scale. This site provides you – per language and,
where possible, per country – with articles, films and
images from all over the world showing what
overpopulation is and why a population policy is important.
Unfortunately too often any discussion of overpopulation or
of population policies is taboo.

 The business world and the religions are generally only

interested in population growth. Allowing welfare to shrink
is often just as difficult for the rich as fleeing from poverty
is for the poor. In addition the growth scenario continues to
dominate worldwide thinking about solutions for the
problems set out here.
