The_King Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 SINGAPORE - The number of babies born in Singapore fell to a 10-year low last year, while total deaths were the highest in almost a century. The recession and massive uncertainties due to the Covid-19 pandemic may be leading some couples to put off expanding their families, experts say, even though most newborns last year were conceived before the pandemic. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/births-in-singapore-hit-decade-low-as-deaths-climb-to-historic-peak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
