CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Population Aging

CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue on Population Aging

The 2020 Census-based population projection estimates that the Philippines will reach aging society status by 2030, when the population aged 65 and over comprises 7 percent of the total population. The aging of the population is the inevitable outcome of the shift from high to low levels of fertility and mortality. This demographic trend will be experienced by almost all countries in the world, but at different paces. How the Philippines deal with the challenges of an aging population depends on how well it prepares for it.

In this special issue of the Philippine Social Sciences Review (PSSR), we welcome submissions that focus on issues of older people, and programs and policies on population aging. Submissions can either be research articles (both qualitative and quantitative), comparative research on aging, methodological papers on aging research, policy evaluation, article or book reviews, and research notes.
