Notes:
1) Total population comprises Singapore residents (i.e. Singapore citizens and permanent residents) and non-residents.
2) Data for 1970 and 1980 are based on de facto concept (i.e. the person is present in the country when enumerated at
the reference period). Data for 1990 onwards are based on de jure concept (i.e. the person‟s place of usual
residence).
3) Data refer to resident population.
4) Data refer to resident population, except for 1970 which refer to total population.
5) Data refer to resident households (i.e. households headed by a Singapore citizen or permanent resident), except for
1970 which refer to private households.
Notes (cont‟d):
6) Data for 2010 are not available.
7) Total marriages comprise all civil marriages registered under the Women‟s Charter and those registered under the
Administration of Muslim Law Act. Data exclude marriages previously solemnised under religious and customary rites.
8) Data are based on resident grooms/brides and resident population, except for 1970 and 1980 which are based on total
grooms/brides and total population.
9) Data refer to total marriages.
10) Data are based on divorces and annulments. From 2004 onwards, data refer to those among resident population
(i.e. Singapore citizens and permanent residents).
Singapore‟s total population was 5.08 million as at end-June 2010 (Table 1.1).
There were 3.77 million Singapore residents, comprising 3.23 million Singapore citizens
and 0.54 million permanent residents, and 1.31 million non-resident foreigners1.
Singapore‟s total population registered a lower growth of 1.8 per cent in 2010,
reflecting the slower growth in the number of permanent residents and non-residents over
the past year. The number of permanent residents grew by 1.5 per cent in 2010, down
from at least 6 per cent growth per year between 2005 and 2009. Growth in the number
of non-residents also slowed to 4.1 per cent in 2010, down from the peaks of 15 per cent
in 2007 and 19 per cent in 2008.
The number of Singapore citizens grew by 0.9 per cent between 2009 and 2010.
This is comparable to the annual growth rate of 0.8 to 1.1 per cent that was registered
between 2005 and 2009.

refers to the change over the previous year.
2) Total population comprises Singapore residents and non-residents. Resident population comprises Singapore citizens
and permanent residents. Non-resident population comprises foreigners who were working, studying or living in
Singapore but not granted permanent residence, excluding tourists and short-term visitors.
3) Growth rate is computed using population estimates based on de facto concept (i.e. the person is present in the country
when enumerated at the reference period).

With the ageing population, the ratio of working-age residents to elderly residents
declined. There were 8.2 residents aged 15-64 years for each resident aged 65 years &
over in 2010, a decline from 9.9 in 2000 and 8.3 in 2009 (Chart 1.2).
Ethnic Composition
The Chinese formed 74 per cent of the resident population in 2010 (Table 1.3).
The Malay and Indian share of the resident population stood at 13 per cent and 9.2 per
cent respectively.

There were more females than males in Singapore’s resident population since
2000. In 2010, the difference widened with females outnumbering males by 49,500.
The ratio fell to 974 males per 1,000 females in 2010, down from 998 males per 1,000
females in 2000 (Table 1.4).
Marital Status
A higher proportion of males than females were married in 2009 (Table 1.5).
The reverse was observed for those who were widowed, due mainly to the longer life
expectancy of females than males. Overall, the proportion of residents who were married
in 2009 was lower than that in 2000.

Between 2000 and 2009, the proportion single rose among younger males and
females (Chart 1.3). Among those aged 25-29 years in 2009, 76 per cent of the males
and 53 per cent of the females were single. The corresponding proportions were 64 per
cent and 40 per cent in 2000.
A relatively high proportion of males and females in their thirties were also never-
married in 2009. Among those aged 30-34 years in 2009, 36 per cent of males and
24 per cent of females were single. This was an increase from the 31 per cent for males
and 19 per cent for females in 2000.

The number of resident households increased by 2.4 per cent from 1.09 million in
2008 to 1.12 million in 2009 (Table 2.1). Since 2006, the resident household size
averaged 3.5 persons. This was smaller than the 4.2 persons in 1990 and 3.7 persons in
2000.

Household
A household refers to a group of two or more persons living together in the same house and
sharing common food or other arrangements for essential living. It also includes a person
living alone or a person living with others but having his own food arrangements. Although
persons may be living in the same house, they may not be members of the same household.
A resident household refers to a household headed by a Singapore citizen or permanent
resident.

Marriage rates were lower for residents aged below 30 years in 2009, with males
aged 25-29 years and females aged 20-24 years having the largest fall relative to 2000
(Chart 3.2).
The peak age group for men marrying shifted from 25-29 years in 2000 to 30-34
years in 2009. The peak age group for women marrying remained at 25-29 years for
females in 2009.

The delay in marrying occurred amongst brides and grooms of all educational
groups, particularly over the last decade. In 2009, the median age at first marriage was
highest for grooms with below secondary education at 39.2 years (Chart 3.3). In contrast,
the median age at first marriage was the highest for brides with university qualification at
28.2 years in 2009.

There were 7,386 marital dissolutions (i.e. divorces and annulments) in 2009, an
increase from the 7,216 marital dissolutions in 2008 and 5,160 cases in 2000 (Chart 3.4).
Among married male residents, the general divorce rate rose slightly from 7.6 per
1,000 married male residents in 2008 to 7.7 in 2009. However, among married female
residents, the general divorce rate declined slightly from 7.4 per 1,000 married female
residents in 2008 to 7.3 in 2009.

Annulment
This refers to the invalidation of a marriage. Parties whose marriages have been annulled
are conferred the status of never having married to each other.
The divorce rates for married residents showed an increase across all age groups
in 2009 compared to 2000 (Chart 3.5).

The median marriage duration of divorcing couples was 10.1 years in 2009,
slightly more than the 9.8 years in 2008 (Table 3.1). Divorces that occurred within
5-9 years of marriage constituted 32 per cent of divorces in 2009.
* Data for 2008 have been revised following updates to the administrative data source in June 2010.
Total live-births declined by 0.6 per cent to 39,570 in 2009, after increasing for the
past four years (Chart 4.1). Resident births (i.e. births with at least one parent who is a
Singapore citizen or permanent resident) also declined from 37,277 in 2008 to 36,925 in
2009.
Singapore’s resident total fertility rate (TFR) continued to decline further from
1.28 births per female in 2008 to 1.22 births per female in 2009.

Note: From 1980 onwards, TFR is based on resident live-births and resident population
(i.e. Singapore citizens and permanent residents).
The resident TFR declined for the Chinese, Malays and Indians in 2009
(Table 4.1). Resident TFR for the Chinese (1.08) remained lower than that for Malays
(1.82) and Indians (1.14) in 2009.
Resident fertility rates declined across age groups over the past decades. In
2009, those aged 25-29 years registered the largest drop to 74 births per 1,000 females,
down from 136 in 1990 and 110 in 2000 (Chart 4.2).
There was an increased delay in child-bearing. While the peak in fertility was in
the age group 25-29 years in 1990, it moved to the age group 30-34 years from 2002
onwards.

First order and second order births made up 47 per cent and 35 per cent of
total live-births respectively in 2009 (Chart 4.3). The proportion of third order births
declined over the years and accounted for 13 per cent of total live births in 2009. Fourth
and higher order births registered a significant fall from 33 per cent in 1970 to
5 to 6 per cent in 1980s and have remained relatively unchanged since then.

Families with only one child also showed an increasing trend. Among ever-
married females aged 40-49 years who were likely to have completed child-bearing, the
proportion with one child rose from 15 per cent in 2000 to 18 per cent in 2009.
Nevertheless, families with two children formed the biggest group. In 2009, 43 per
cent of those aged 40-49 years had given birth to two children. The corresponding
proportion was 36 per cent among those aged 30-39 years.

With the decline in fertility, the average number of children born to resident ever-
married females fell from 2.85 children in 1990 to 2.26 in 2008 and further to 2.24 children
in 2009 (Table 4.2).
Among resident ever-married females aged 40-49 years who were likely to have
completed child-bearing, higher educated females had fewer children than lower educated
females on average (Table 4.3). Nonetheless, the gap narrowed in recent years with the
larger reduction in family size among females with below secondary qualification.
Total deaths numbered 17,101 in 2009, down from 17,222 in 2008 (Chart 5.1).
The resident crude death rate declined over the years. This reflected the growing
middle-aged population and increasing life expectancy of the elderly population. The
resident crude death rate fell from 5.2 deaths per 1,000 residents in 1970 to 4.3 in 2009.

Note: From 1980 onwards, crude death rate is based on resident deaths and resident population
(i.e. Singapore citizens and permanent residents).
The death rates for residents generally declined between 2000 and 2009
(Chart 5.2). In 2009, females experienced lower death rates than their male counterparts
in all age groups.

* Refers to infant mortality rate.
The infant mortality rate in 2009 was 2.2 infant deaths per 1,000 resident
live-births, slightly higher than in 2008 (Table 5.1). More baby girls than boys survived
their first year in 2009. The infant mortality rate for females was 1.7 per 1,000 resident
live-births compared with 2.6 per 1,000 resident live-births for males.
Life expectancy at age 65 years also improved. In 2009, male and female
residents aged 65 years old could expect to live an average of 17.9 and 21.2 more years
respectively, compared with the corresponding 17.5 and 20.8 more years in 2008.
Life Expectancy
It refers to the average number of years a person (at birth or at a specific age such as age
65 years) could expect to live based on the age-specific death rates of a given year.
This single indicator is commonly used to sum up the mortality experience of a population,
taking into account the population’s age and sex structure.
More details on life expectancy are available in the publication “Complete Life Tables 2006 -
2009 for Singapore Resident Population”.
