Net migration rate

Not sure how to read this one. Presumably it means there are more people going into the Philippines from overseas than leaving?

It's an interesting one that.
I read it as being the opposite. Meaning more people leaving the Philippines than entering as immigrants. But, I'm not 100% on that.

The UK data from the same source is:-

Net migration rate:
2.59 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)


Which I guess is 2.59 more per 1,000 entering as immigrants than leaving.:Erm:

The birth rate / death rate one is interesting. I know when I mention that to my wife she will mention the RH Bill.

Not the easiest of topics, but here are my thoughts on some of these CIA figures ( mostly estimates ).
Of interest :-
• Population - Philippines 102 m, UK 63 m
• Age structure – median ( most often occurring ) – Philippines 23, UK 40
• Birth Rate ( per 1000 ) – Philippines 25, UK 12
• Death Rate ( per 1000 ) – Philippines 5, UK 9
• Net Migration ( per 1000 ) – Philippines -1.29 ( more people leaving ), UK 2.59 ( more people entering ). (About 572,000 people entered UK long-term in the year to June 2010 ; 346,000 emigrated ).
• Urban population ( % of total ) – Philippines 49, UK 80
• Infant Mortality Rate ( per 1000 live births ) – Philippines actually varies between 10 ( richest urban communities such as Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao ) and over 90 ( poorest rural communities such as Bicol, Samar Provinces and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ). UK : less than 5.
• Life Expectancy at Birth – Philippines actually varies from 80 years to under 60 years ( average 72 – males 69, females 75 ). UK also varies – from 85 males and 88 females ( Kensington and Chelsea ) to 72 males and 78 females ( Glasgow ) - average 78 males, 82 females. ( Since 1950 estimated life expectancy at birth of most of world’s population has increased ).
• Health expenditure - Philippines – 3.8% of GDP in 2009 ( World Health Organization ). The “ Economist “ claimed Philippines Government spent only 0.6% of GDP on health in 2010. Public spending on health is so low it results in “ out of pocket spending “ - more than half of the total . Especially affects the poor majority of the population, and should be reduced, with more Government spending. The free basic health service could be improved, and more insurance coverage by PhilHealth ( 76% now) or similar agencies. UK Government spending is 8-9%.
• Physician density – Philippines 1,153 doctors / 1000 population ( 1 for every 867 ) ; UK 2,739 / 1000 ( 1 for 365 ). There are less than 100,000 doctors in Philippines compared to about 240,000 in UK.
• HIV / AIDS – estimates for Philippines ( less than 0.1% prevalence in adults, 8,700 living with HIV / AIDS, and fewer than 200 deaths / year ) are admitted by the Government to be too low. In the UK ( 0.2 % prevalence, fewer than 1,000 deaths, and 85,000 living with it ) up to a quarter thought to have AIDS / HIV haven’t actually been diagnosed, so don’t know their status.
• Hospital bed density ( per 1000 ) – Philippines 0.5 ( 3/5 private ) , UK 3.38 ( most NHS ).
• Obesity – adult prevalence rates quoted ( Philippines 4.3% ; UK 22.7% ) seem too low. In UK nearly a quarter of people are obese. The Philippines has proportions of overweight and obesity approaching those of UK, but also – especially in children – malnutrition is a problem. Over 20% of children under 5 are quoted as underweight – possibly nearer 25% now.
• Unemployment – latest Philippine rate: 7.3% (2010). UK is 2.67 million, or 8.4% ( 22% for 16 – 24 year olds ).
• Literacy – in Philippines age 15 and over, 93% can read and write. Some in UK might disagree with the estimate of 99% literacy :)!

I know better than to expect even a " thank you " for a detailed response, but please at least read what I have said.
I have interpreted and explained to the best of my ability the figures originally provided, and compared Philippines with UK. That should not only interest every member, but could also help towards the " Life in the UK " test :xxgrinning--00xx3:.
