Singapore's population density is higher than the philippine. Philippine density is 368 per Km2, while Singapore's density is 8358 per Km2. The reason why Singapore has a higher population density than the philippine is Filipino often migrate to Singapore, they migrate to Singapore because it is one of the richest countries.

Not only is Singapore one of the richest country, but they offer a great opportunity for Filipinos. Singapore promises the Filipinos they will get much higher salaries, and similar types of jobs and education in Singapore are accepted in many sectors of Singapore with the exception of law, medicine, dentistry, and other professional organizations.

Timor-Leste density compared to Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
Timor-Leste's total population is 1.38 Million with the density of 89 km^2. Meanwhile, Singapore has the total population of 5.9 Million and has the density of a whopping 8,358 km^2 which means in Singapore, there are about 8,400 people within a radius of a squared kilometre

Thailand's population density is much lower than Singapore's. This is because Singapore's smaller land area, about 728.6 km². While Thailand on the other hand, is about 513,120 km². Other reasons suggests that the situation with COVID-19 in Thailand, has became much more worse. This leads to the number of births declining by 8%. Middle and working-class has started to grow debt. Making the need of a child much fewer.

After we analysed the population pyramid, we found out that male babies has a higher birthrate than female babies in Timor/East Leste. Timor-Leste's total birthrate is 28.66 per 1000 people which drastically decreased from 40.7 per 1000 people in 1973.

From the population pyramid, it shows that from the age group of 20-24, the population starts to decrease which it starts to drastically exactly the next age group, which are the ages of 25-29.

Malaysia Population Density Comparison

Malaysia's population density is drastically lower compared to Singapore (Singapore is around 80x more denser than Malaysia). This is due to Singapore's smaller land area than Malaysia, as well as the fact that many people immigrate to Singapore, primarily to its popular areas, making Singapore more densely populated. While Malaysia is 459 times larger than Singapore, making the population less densely populated, Malaysia also has many cities, causing the population to spread out more than in Singapore.

In terms of population, Myanmar is the 26th largest country and dependency. Myanmar has a population density of 83 people per km2 (216 people per mile2).
Myanmar's population density increased by 0.71 percent from 2021 to 2022, reaching 80.08 people per square kilometer. Myanmar's population density in 2021 was 79.51 people per square kilometer, an increase of 0.7 percent from 2020.

Brunei has the 2nd lowest population density in ASEAN with 83 people per square kilometer. Singapore with the highest density in ASEAN of 8,358 per square km is 100.7 times more dense than Brunei. This is because Brunei has a much smaller population than other countries, with only around 445,000 people, not even reaching the millions like other ASEAN countries. Reasons to why Brunei might have a small population is that they are considered a developing country (although they are economically successful), they are not very famous; most people do not hear about Brunei often (possibly because of its small size) and it is not a popular tourist destination, and lastly Brunei's birth rate has been decreasing; nowadays there are less young people in Brunei than the older generations, meaning the population is not growing.

# data[].attributes.body
Vietnam has a far lower population density than that of Singapore's, with Singapore being nearly 30x denser (8,056 vs 296.4). This is because of Singapore's smaller land area and densely populated living areas. Furthermore, Singapore has a far larger population of migrants/foreign workers, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. This significantly skews Singapore's population density, as these hundreds of thousands of workers also bring (or start) families, leading to a much higher population in a small area.

Looking at Brunei's population pyramid, we can see that it is more of a stable graph population pyramid since the distribution of young people and older/middle aged people are similar. In fact, the largest age group is in the middle ages. The life expectancy seems to be around the ages of 60-64, and the graph gets narrower from there. The birth rate is in the middle since there are young people (pre-reproductive ages) but less than middle aged people (or in the reproductive ages). The death rate is fairly high since there is no one of the population above the age of 85.
There is a bulge in the population chart of the 30-39 year old age group which could signify immigration. The reason people move to Brunei is because it is a wealthy country and has a highly profitable economy.

In the Philippines population pyramid, we can see there are more younger people than older ones(0-4, male: 5.3%, female: 5.0%)

The reason why Filipino has a high birth rate is due to unemployment and poverty. Filipino nowadays are struggling to find a decent job to support themself and others due to poverty. Filipino lacks education causing them to have nothing to do, but stay indoors.

The death rate for the older ones is high in both genders. In the Philippines, there are not much older people that live up to 80-100+  because the healthcare system doesn't provide the meds that older people needed. That is why the elderly population is increasing by 9.5%.

In the Philippines, the economy gave a  reason why Filipinos should migrate because there's a career opportunity with a very high salary, than what they usually earn in the Philippines. which is why there's much unemployment and underemployment in the Philippines.

In the population pyramid, in the Philippines, the Filipinos started to decrease by 55-59 in both genders by 2.0%

Vietnam has a rapidly increasing population of elderly, which is attributed to better nutrition and healthcare. Also, the birth rate has been decreasing, creating a population where there are more elderly and reproductive people.

3.https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/VNM/vietnam/death-rate

Vietnam's death rate has been decreasing since the 1950s, though it experienced a jump during the early 1970s (Vietnam war). In fact, the death rate has been halved from its rate during the 20th century, with there currently being 6 deaths per 1000 people.

4. https://migrants-refugees.va/country-profile/vietnam/

Vietnam has around 76,767 registered migrants, most of whom originate from Thailand (15.6%), Myanmar (15.4%), Bangladesh (10.8%), and Indonesia (10.8%). However, there are many more illegal migrants, particularly from China. Many Vietnamese people migrate to other countries for work or education. Vietnam has also experienced cases of human trafficking and forced migration due to weather and other factors. The migration rate is -0.935 per 1000 people.

As seen from the chart, the birth rate has been decreasing since 1958. In 1958, the birth rate was 42.731, nearly 3 times higher than today’s birth rate of 15.141.

6.https://e.vnexpress.net/news/life/parental-angst-why-vietnamese-are-having-fewer-babies-4379045.html

The low birth rate is caused by younger Vietnamese parents who are reluctant to have many children due to social or economic reasons. Many parents feel overburdened by the responsibilities of having a child, which causes them to choose not to reproduce again.

Looking at Myanmar population pyramid, we can see that it is more of a stable graph population pyramid since the distribution of young people and middle aged people have wider base. People between the ages of 19-49 should be expected to live.

However the life expectancy for the old age seems to be around the ages of 69, and the graph gets narrower from there.

In Myanmar, males have a 4,5% birth rate however females have a 4,3% birth rate compared to males with a 2% difference.

The largest age group is to be around 5-19 years old. Myanmar has a relatively high death rate for both genders since a minimal amount of people in Myanmar have passed over 64 years old which is 1.7% population that has passed it. 94-100+ years old have a 0% population, and 69-89 years old have 1.2/ 1.5% - 0.1% population.

From the population pyramid, we can see that Vietnam's population is a diminishing one which is signified by the narrower base and wider top. This means that the number of people who are in the pre-reproductive age groups are lower than those in the reproductive or  post-reproductive age groups. In Vietnam, the birth rates have been decreasing since 1958, when the birth rate was over 42, which is nearly triple that of the current birth rate. In newer generations, many people of reproductive age are more unwilling to have children, mainly due to economic reasons. Besides a decreasing birth rate, Vietnam has also experienced an increase in student migration, with 190,000 Vietnamese students studying abroad. Most of these students are situated in North America or Europe. Also, there are millions of Vietnamese who migrated from Vietnam, most notably after the Vietnam War. Vietnam also has tens of thousands of immigrants, most of whom are in the reproductive age groups and come from nearby Southeast Asian countries.This, combined with decreasing death rates (which means an increasing population in the post-reproductive age groups and a higher life expectancy), means that there are and will be more older people than there are younger people. While Vietnam's population will continue to grow, it will do so slowly before peaking in 2054 with over 109 million people before decreasing to 97 million people by 2100. Currently, Vietnam is in stage 3 of the Demographic Transition model (when the death rates are low and the birth rate is decreasing). However, due to decreasing birth and death rates, it will eventually become a stage 4 country.

The Malaysia population pyramid is an expanding graph, as it have both high fertility and high mortality rates among younger individuals. The life expectancy for Malaysia is getting lower at the age of 70-74. The reason why there are indents in the pyramid (15-19 and 20-24) is unknown. It is probably because of diseases, famine, or migration.

Interpreting Indonesia's population pyramid, we can see that Indonesia has a high birth rate seen through its wide base. Due to its high population of young dependents age, it's predicted that in 2035 Indonesia will have a population boom and bonus demography at the same time, where the reproductive age (15-64) is 60% bigger than the pre and post-productive age. Related to its population boom, some demographers have warned Indonesia to control its birth rate as questions about how to feed, job opportunities and education quality remain unanswered. Yet, the bonus demography will give a positive impact, as it's a chance for Indonesia to accelerate its growth with the help of its abundant and productive human resources.
The narrow tip of the pyramid shows Indonesia has a high mortality rate with an average life expectancy of around 60-70 years.
Countries that become top destinations for Indonesia's migrant are Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Hongkong. Most of the migrants leave Indonesia for working. While most of immigrants in Indonesia are coming from East and Southeast Asia (China, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore).

We can observe from the graph that Laos has a high birth rate because of the base of the graph. Laos' birth rate is high in the pre-reproductive age group (0–14), but it gradually decreases in the post-reproductive age group (65–85+). The post-reproductive death rate in Laos is currently decreasing. Laos can be compared as an expanding graph since the population is expected to increase due to both high fertility and high mortality rates among younger members. People between the ages of 35 and 39 should expect to  life expectancy between 65 to 69, but more particularly till 68 of age. There is migration, but it doesn't really have an impact on the population of Laos because it doesn't really show up in the statistics.
