Singapore’s fertility rate is now the lowest in the world… will Singapore-born Singaporeans become extinct soon?

Via the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)’s websiteSingapore’s fertility rate is the lowest in the world among 222 countries, averaging just 0.78 children that would be born per woman if all women lived to the end of their childbearing years and bore children according to a given fertility rate at each age:

Singapore is world number one again... but from the bottom this time

At the same time, our net migration rate (difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year per 1,000 persons) is the sixth highest in the world at 15.62:

We are the sixth in the world... but on the wrong table

Based on the statistics above, any mathematician out there can do a calculation to find out roughly when born-in-Singapore Singaporeans will become extinct in our own land?

For regular readers of this blog, do you still remember this web infographics by BBC News on the world’s growing population I posted back in October 2011?

The clock is ticking faster and faster. Time is running out.
