This research is conducted to quantify the potential impact of the pandemic on key SRH indicators with the aim of providing evidence base for decision makers towards more focused response strategies to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Specifically, the research aims to estimate the potential changes on key family planning, maternal health, and gender‐based violence indicators brought about by the COVID‐19‐related community quarantines implemented nationwide. National‐level estimates are presented but regional estimates are also shown when data allows.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has released the Final Report of the 2018 National Migration Survey, the first national survey on migration in the country. The 2018 NMS was a collaborative project with the University of the Philippines through the UP Population Institute (UPPI) of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.

The Longitudinal Study on Ageing and Health in the Philippines (LSAHP) is the first multi-actor longitudinal study on ageing in the Philippines with information coming from older Filipinos, their caregivers, and adult children. The 2018 baseline data provides comprehensive information on the health, economic status, and overall well-being of a nationally representative sample of older Filipinos aged 60 and older. These data will be a valuable resource for the crafting of evidence-based policies and programmes for this sector of the population. LSAHP is designed to (1) investigate the health status and well-being, as well as their correlates, of Filipinos aged 60 years and over; and (2) assess the determinants of health status and transitions in health status and overall well-being. The study is part of a comparative study of the Philippines and Viet Nam. LSAHP is funded by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia and implemented by the Demographic Research and Development Foundation, Inc.

Given the strong inter-linkages between population and development factors, the paper will highlight the possible development implications of the population trends particularly with respect to its education and health requirements.
