Why Philippines Birth Rate and Fertility Rate declining?
Well, my Teacher samples of Population of Asian Countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia And China. My Teacher said that Philippines Fertility Rate back in 1980's was 7, but now it is only 3. Then the birth rate is on decreasing side as well. All together with Any other Asian Countries particularly in the East. What causes it???
So, after 20 to 50 Years Are all Asian Countries going to EXTINCT?? Are they going to only have 10 million population and eventually Zero??? That's sad then, because most Asian People are beautiful especially their Dramas are really worth watching and very motivating.

it cost a fortune to get a child through school university and the pressures are greater now than ever. So most families can only afford one child

Three Reasons, Why the Fertility Rate decreased for a while:
1. Cost Of Living: Well having a child in Philippines, is a pain in the ***. Most couples here don't reproduce as much unlike AFRICA which tends to have 15 CHILDS. While The AVerage Fertility Rate of Filipinos is 3, sometimes they only wanted 1 child. And also the rental, condominum, house, and labor cost are expensive as well. Death Rate can surpass birth rate anytime.
2. Education: The Tuition Fees are dramatically increasing, Unlike other Continents, Europe and Africa, The Bullying is very common in Philippines especially in the Public School. Though it may occur also in Elementary until College or even in work, if one is good for nothing.
3. Many people are choosing not to marry: Though, Even some couples just wants to have zero child at all. Some Expert Says that Humans will go Extinct in the next 500 years.

Well, Almost all industrialized Asian countries are experiencing fertility rate decline. I blame it on workload, and Technology. Well, if you come to Philippines and Compare it to Africa, You will notice that Filipinos especially young adult and teens Are Studying, staying awake at night and FOCUS on work before having a Children. Technology also is a factor, Most boys here and even the girls play on their iPhones and iPads as well.
You will notice, most Filipinos don't have much of a social life, since WORK is their life. They may even work on the weekends if they need to finish something or if there is an event. Filipinos have A LOT of business trips, or meetings and training if local. So they are always constantly preparing for those types of things. Many of their friends are only from work, or from childhood, high school, and university days. Even if they are MARRIED, you will notice some of the couples rather to have 1 children or none at all. They chose to have not Children especially in Japan, Also. SUicide rate on those countries is high.
Philippines has higher suicide rate unlike AFrican Countries, because many people here are talented and you will face many competitors. It's normal for Asian people to decline, even their population as well in 2100's. And if you're under employed in Philippines most filipinos rather to Suicide, Ending their life by HANGING, Jumping on MALL to their Death, and Taking Poisoning pills because of Unemployment or being rejected on the job.
