All About Singapore Birth Rates

Low birth rate does not mean you have more chance at the good schools. It just means the not so popular schools have more seats unfilled.

interesting ! boys more or girls more for 2010 ? since stats says more boys for 2007..

Yes, isn't that interesting? There's a higher ratio of baby boys to girls every year. But if you follow the statistics for different age groups, the ratio of boys to girls drops till its almost 1 : 1 at the 20 - 30 age group. Then at greater age groups, it's a higher ratio of women to men.

So ... why does the ratio of boys/ men drop?

Any ideas the numbers for 2004?
