Dear All,

My son is born in 2008. I would like to know what is the birth rate of Singapore on that year? And is there any way by which i can find out how many children born in 2008 are there near to the school of my choice. Kindly advise accordingly.

Assuming such data can be collected, there are still too many variables in the equation. Hence, no point finding out.

These numbers are great as general guidelines for the size of the yearly intake of students...of course, they will not factor in other factors such as children born in Singapore which have left the country permanently, new citizen children, etc...so of course the exact number of students registered for Primary 1 this year will not precisely correspond to the number of children born in 2006, for example.

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

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.

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?
