Filipinos will continue to grow in numbers in 2021 - although at a slower pace - as their number is projected to reach 110,881,756 next year, according to the Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM).
Despite the rise in absolute numbers, the population grew gradually to 1.31% by the start of 2021 - an increase from the previous 109,480,590 at the onset of 2020. From a 1.68% population growth rate in 2016, it was at 1.45% between 2019 and 2020.
With effects of the COVID-19 pandemic such as service delivery disruptions on family planning factored-in, the figure is estimated to swell at 111.1 million, affecting mainly the under-1 age group due to increased unplanned pregnancies.
