In the Philippines, I'm not even sure you can get plan B pills, though there are other options I believe. The Catholic Church has generally frowned on any sort of birth control. Abortions are not legal.
Seems like dwindling birth rate would be a cultural shift rather than economic. I'm skeptical of a survey which asks if you're planning to have kids though. I'm single right now and I would say I'm unlikely to have kids. A relationship next month could change that.
- lathiat 4y agoPlan B is probably not really the thing to think about here. Sure it plays a role, but, condoms came into mainstream use in the early 1900s and the contraceptive pill only in 1960. Thats only 2-3 generations really. For many your grandparents or maybe great-grandparents were early days for easily and freely accessible contraception along with sex education to make using it more likely.
