Where does the Philippines rank globally in mortality rates?

In 2024, the Philippines ranked 144th out of 217 countries and territories worldwide with a crude death rate of 6.35 per 1,000. Within Southeast Asia (ASEAN), it has a lower mortality rate than Myanmar (9.18, rank 59), Thailand (9.03, rank 60), Indonesia (7.62, rank 95), and Vietnam (6.65, rank 133), and higher than Singapore (6.00, rank 161) and Malaysia (5.27, rank 186).

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect mortality in the Philippines?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the crude death rate in the Philippines spiked from 5.83 per 1,000 in 2020 to a peak of 7.99 per 1,000 in 2021 due to excess pandemic mortality. Following the pandemic, the rate normalized back to 6.27 in 2022, 6.24 in 2023, and 6.35 in 2024.

Why is the Philippines' crude death rate lower than developed nations?

The Philippines' relatively low crude death rate compared to developed nations like Japan (13.30) or Germany (12.10) is primarily driven by its youthful demographic profile, with a median age of 26.57 years in 2026. A younger population has a smaller proportion of elderly individuals at high baseline mortality risk.
