Year\tBirths\t

2000\t46997\tDragon
2001\t41451\tSnake
2002\t40760\tHorse
2003\t37485\tGoat
2004\t37174\tMonkey
2005\t37492\tRooster
2006\t38317\tDog
2007\t39490\tPig

I think many factors besides the Animal sign contributes to birth rate. Y2004 has the lowest birthrate because of SARS in 2003, less people conceive in 2003 to give birth in 2004.

Then in Aug 2004, the government introduced 3 months maternity leave and bb bounus package, that helps to boost the following birth rate.

I believe the birth rate should be higher in 2008 year of Rat beacuse of the latest procreation package from the government even though the world's economy slow down.

Anyway, it doesnt really matter about the birth rate since all schools are eventually reducing the number of classes to cater to single session. It will be always comptetitive every P1 registration.

Life births in

2003 : 37,485
2004 : 37,174
2005 : 37,492

hmmm ...just wondering...how will that affect balloting?

Hi there,
Just for your infor. the school may need to readjust intake no. of students for P1, if the no. of babies is low the year. most likely the good school will remain. Generally it is good if no. of babies low.

Heard older days, tiger year is less popular for having kids.

You are dead right! My BASC centre has only two kids from P5! :x But I have 16 kids from P3!!! There are the Dragon kids!!! Many parents every year beg me to squeeze in one more kid of theirs. How to :? We actually want to strike a ratio of 1 teacher to 12 kids or the most 14 kids if the demand is too great.

What is my point :? Never have a dragon baby! He or she would be fighting for a good school in Primary One, Sec One, JC1 and even University for the best courses to be doctors or lawyers. You parents will be always kancheong like crazy at every milestone of your child's choice of school. :?: :?: :?:

I think we can't base on birth rates anymore as there are so many PRs around us nowadays!!!
