Questions of the day:
We discussed about some statistic numbers in class today.
I mentioned that the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in Singapore is 1.2. It is actually lower in 2010. It is only 1.16! It means that only 1.16 children is born for every woman in Singapore.

Sekine mentioned that in Egypt, a baby is born in every 16 second. Is that fast?

What about Singapore? A baby is born in how many second/min?
(37 967 babies were born in 2010....can you calculate?)

What about China?? What about Taiwan's TFR?
Check out this website for different countries birth rate, death rate, population, etc.
