The Philippine Population Review is a peer-reviewed journal of the Philippine Population Association. It is featured in Philippine Journals Online (http://www.philjol.info) and in Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory (http://www.ulrichsweb.com).
The Review seeks to strengthen the evidence-based discourse of population issues confronting the national, international and global communities. It provides a forum for the conceptual, methodological and empirical quantitative and qualitative analyses of the vital events of human population—fertility, mortality, morbidity and migration—including their movements, interrelationships, complexities, consequences and impact. Its scientific information base is expected to help improve population and population-related policies, programs, teaching and research, towards enhancing the quality of life and well-being of all.
Manuscripts addressing any of the foregoing topics or themes may be considered for the Review’s next two issues. Please follow these instructions:
