Abstract
This issue explores the complex interactions between population growth, urbanization, environmental sustainability, and economic development in the Philippines. A study on the country’s demographic trends, based on the 1990 Census, highlights shifts in employment patterns and the role of urbanization in shaping environmental consequences. Another article evaluates forecasting models used in the Philippines. Fisheries and coastal ecosystems are also examined, with one study arguing that fishing should be an employment of last resort due to its links to overfishing and water quality degradation. A cost-benefit analysis on mangrove preservation further assesses its role in protecting coastal areas and sustaining fisheries. The issue also delves into industrialization’s environmental toll, particularly in Cebu, where ineffective government measures have failed to curb degradation. Another paper examines migration patterns, finding that areas with higher household incomes attract more migrants.
