Rabbit babies (demographics)

It's interesting looking at the demographics of Singapore.. I suppose year of the rabbits do look like it's heading to a good start at increasing birth rates for the republic as young couples time their families before hitting the dragon year (2012).  Too bad the stats only gave a 9 year spectrum.

Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.
