SINGAPORE experienced its worst baby drought last year, despite the influx of immigrants of child-bearing age over the past decade.
Last year saw 37,967 babies born - the lowest number since 2005, when there were 37,492 births, figures from the Department of Statistics show. Also, the racial balance is gradually changing, demographers note, with a growing proportion of Indian babies and babies of other minority ethnic groups in the last five years, according to the latest figures from the Department of Statistics.
