The UPPI received recognition from the Quality Assurance Office (QAO) of the University of the Philippines-Diliman (UPD) for successfully completing the External Assessment of the Master of Arts in Demography (MADEM) program late last year.
As the Philippines transitions to an aging society, research on older Filipinos has become increasingly relevant.
From 1996 to 2018, the University of the Philippines Population Institute and the Demographic Research and Development Foundation, Inc. have conducted three landmark nationally representative studies on older Filipinos: 1996 Philippine Elderly Survey, 2007 Philippine Study on Aging, and the 2018 Longitudinal Study of Ageing and Health in the Philippines.
The UPPI, in collaboration with the Department of Health (DOH), presented the key findings of the 2021 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (YAFS5) during a public forum held on 14 October 2022 in Quezon City.
With support from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UPPI hosted a nine-day training-workshop on the use of Demographic Analysis and Population Projection System (DAPPS) and Population Analysis Spreadsheets (PASEX) to aid in projecting the Philippine population through 2055 based on the 2020 Census of Population and Housing (CPH).
