JAMILADAN, LINETTE R. Impact of Population to the Economic Development of the Southern Tagalog Region (1984- 2013). Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics, major in Business Economics. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Ms. Maria Soledad M. Lising
The study was conducted to determine the impact of population to the economic development of the Southern Tagalog Region from 1984 to 2013. Specifically, this study aimed to determine (1) the trend of the selected demographic factors of the population such as the population trend, population density, number of live births, and number of deaths in the Southern Tagalog Region from 1984 to 2013; (2) the trend of the selected development indicators such as the Gross Regional Domestic Product, per capita Gross Regional Domestic Product, number of business establishments, labor force participation rate, number of elementary and secondary public and private schools , and number of hospital beds in public and private hospitals in the Southern Tagalog Region from 1984 to 2013; (3) the development index of the Southern Tagalog Region from 1984 to 2013, and (4) the effect of the selected demographic factors of population such as the total population, population density, number of live births, and number of deaths to the development of the Southern Tagalog Region from 1984 to 2013. Growth rate was used to analyze the trend of the selected demographic factors of population, the selected economic indicators and the development index of the Southern Tagalog Region with the scope spanning between 1984 and 2013.
The selected development indicators were given a particular weight according to its importance and were measured using the weighted aggregate index. Regression analysis using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to determine the effect of the selected demographic factors of population such as the total population, population density, number of live births and number of deaths to the economic development of the Southern Tagalog Region The study revealed that for 30 years, the selected demographic factors and the selected economic development indicators had an unstable trend causing it to be unpredictable. In determining the impact of population in the development of the Southern Tagalog region, the number of live births was identified to have negative relationship with the development at ten percent level of significance. The linear combination of the independent variables was significantly related with the dependent variable proving that the hypothesis of the study which states that the development was not significantly affected by the population, population density, number of live births and number of deaths was rejected. Hence, it is concluded that population explosion could pose an impediment to economic development.
