Rising housing costs. Changing family structures. A growing elderly population. What do these mean for the future of housing in the Philippines?
Join the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (188体育) public webinar on April 24, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM via Zoom, as we present two 188体育 studies on household structures, demographic changes, and housing policies in the Philippines.
The first study, “,” authored by 188体育 Vice President Marife Ballesteros, Research Specialist Jenica Ancheta, and Supervising Research Specialist Tatum Ramos, analyzes how demographic shifts influence household structures and housing choices. It underscores the interconnectedness of population dynamics, the housing market, and wealth distribution in shaping housing demand. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning housing strategies with demographic trends to accommodate both the working-age population and the growing elderly sector.
The second study, titled “,” by the same authors, examines the factors contributing to the rise of extended and multifamily households. While cultural traditions play a role, the study finds that limited housing options and homeownership challenges also drive this trend. These findings highlight the need for a more responsive housing policy that addresses affordability and accessibility.
