A bIg Population density with low resources and space is a different story.
RP's land area is 115,831 sq mi (About the size of Arizona) yet our population is 92 million (census of 2010). About 18 times the population of Arizona.
If you combine the top richest countries in Europe as of today, ( Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Sweden). Philippine population would still be bigger, almost double.
Now, are these mentioned countries suffering population decline side effects, low jobpool and setbacks?
Answer: No. (Although minimal, and are least of the concern, these countries can swiftly change immigration policies to create influx of immigrant workers. Just like pressing a remote to change TV channels)
