Singapore's fertility decline began in the late 1950s, and continued until a record low of 44,562 births in 1969. Subsequently another upswing in the number of births took place, taking a downturn again to 48,269 in 1973. The decline in the crude birthrate in 1973 was entirely caused by a fall in fertility, and was retarded by the fact that there was a rise in the proportion of women in the reproductive ages. Indians and Malays contributed the most to the decline in fertility in 1973, while Chinese fertility only fell 6.6%. Government population legislation and social measures designed to lower the birthrate appear to have noticeably affected reproductive behavior
