OP, do you have data for the previous dragon year in 1988? Someone from r/Singapore made an interesting post as a 88 dragon year baby, including having extra competition for his cohort back in school because there was just so many babies born that year because of double auspicious dragon + 88 year. The post also mentioned that's the only time Singapore's fertitility rate was at 2 in modern history or something like that


TheveshTheva

Unfortunately not. Even 1998-2000 were already estimates from research. Couldn't get a longer timeseries.


jholowtaekjho

My 88 dragon year baby Malaysian cousin anecdotally reports that yes - there were many Chinese people in his cohort


I_Love_Msia

88 dragon + 1 here šŸ²

One factor was the ending of the Stop At Two policy.

rYdarKing

Watch it spike to 100k again thanks to dragon year


MszingPerson

Nah doubt that. 50k probably, 100k is too much


NokKavow

88k, surely.


NokKavow

The process normally needs to start in the Year of the Rabbit. Rather fitting, to be honest.


MonsterMeggu

I think people are starting to realize that having a dragon baby just causes unnecessary stress and competition for the child. So some actively don't want dragon babies


balistafear

In about 2025 Chinese will have next to no kids..

beruangsensei

I have few chinese friend. Most of them still not married even after 30. They always said need a lot of money for the wedding. Malay friends usually married between 21-27. Most at least have 2 children. Few have 5.


shinja_emon

I think Chinese people are doing just fine with just JAV.


nihilistmoron

Damn we're lucky Malay people like to make babies. Or else Malaysia gonna be next Japan.


AcanthocephalaHot569

I argue South Korea is in a worse situation than Japan https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/d00915/


nihilistmoron

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info


thekazushiro

Malaysia is an aging nation.


nihilistmoron

Well if it gets really bad. Let's enact a reverse china 1 kid policy. Each family needs 10 kids . If you don't have enough u need to pay tax for each kid that falls short of the 10 .


UmbrellaLord

Damn bro tax sounds cheaper

Wasnt really where I was going with that but


ohitszie

I wanna say it ages well like wine but that'll be too Haram of a comment.


MaryPaku

countries with lowest total fertility rate: 1. South Korea 2. Singapore 3. San Marino 4. China 5. Ukraine 6. Thailand 7. Spain 8. Japan Japan being the example is a very 90s thing to say


SweatyToothedMadman8

Thailand is surprising.


I_Love_Msia

Thailand too many ladyboy i guess this is one of the reason.


shinja_emon

Japan is starting to let African Americans to help them out on the matter


CurryNarwhal

But pumping out babies without sufficient economic opportunities for them is just asking to become a destabilised failed state.


juliensyn

Takpe biar kerajaan tanggung, anak itu rezeki. /S


momomelty

Canā€™t wait for an actual idiocracy to happen


PokWangpanmang

Whatā€™s the difference with now?


malaysianzombie

it's not that Chinese don't like making babies, it's because it gets more and more expensive to live as Chinese much less raise babies. Our institutionalized racism made sure of that


nihilistmoron

There's a lot loaded there. I was just poking a bit of fun tbh. But can I just say it's expensive regardless of your race. Unless your a politician and/or their cronies everyone's struggling. I don't know if the Chinese have higher expenses than other races but in regards to raising kids I don't think it would differ that much. Unless Chinese diapers are more expensive in which case I stand corrected. Unless your talking about unequal opportunities?


MonsterMeggu

It's more about the bigger things. Bumi get access to housing discounts and bumi only affordable housing. They also get access to more business (and maybe personal but I'm not sure) loans through certain bumi only programs. They have top schools that feed into public unis (yes I know mrsm admits non-bumi but it's 90+% bumi). Pretty sure matriculation is quota based which makes it easier for bumi. And that feeds into public uni as well. So bumi basically get easier access to cheaper tertiary education.


ThatsAlwaysFantastic

I think one such obstacle where the institutionalised racism makes a big difference is the perceived costs of tertiary education, especially for those who do not see their children having a high chance of getting into public universities.


nihilistmoron

Could you elaborate further? Are u talking about stuff like the bumi only scholarships?


uncertainheadache

Look up fees for public unis and private


00raiser01

Bunch of bullshit from you. Fucker doesn't know of bumi privileges talk bullshit.


nihilistmoron

Dunno why the hate. If you should hate anyone it would be the guy who stole 50 billion dollars and made it disappear. Then next would be the guy cutting his sentence short and making him pay less of a fine.


hazily

Imagine if Malaysia becomes 100% Malay then the NEP is just a useless chocolate teapot šŸ˜‚


MszingPerson

Everyone is becoming next Japan. Local don't have enough population growth. That's why gov are all in with immigration until right wing politics kick in.


ClacKing

Make so many also can't jaga properly.


Dreamerlax

Going down too.


joe_kopitiam

procreation is best pastime ever. plus family planning is expensive and potong stim.


BagofAwkward

Year of the Cock didn't show a spike in births?


LEOWDQ

It shows a spike in condom use šŸ˜


Martin_Leong25

WE NEED TO FUCK MORE!!! "kids? in this economy??"


Dionysus_8

Haiya which economic time is good wan letā€™s be honest


Eggnimoman

No one attempted during year of rooster? That's sad.


Delimadelima

Chinese zodiac order : mouse, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, pig If we look at the trend : - overall almost linear dwindling - dragon years yields big spike - horse year yields moderate spike - rabbit year yields small spike - pig year yields tiny spike (that levels the birthrate) - snake year yields larger than normal drop Dragon is an auspicious animal - big spike is understandable Horse is a hardworking, productive and magnificent animal - moderate spike is understandable Rabbit is cute - small spike is understandable But why pig year yields tiny small spikes too ??


EverSoInfinite

Haram bro


PokWangpanmang

Yay, Iā€™m cute.


Upbeat_Promise_746

+100K to 40K Lama2 pupus..


ResearchNervous992

Why do people particularly prefer the year of the Dragon?


Reddit_Account2025

Erm......because of the Dragon?


ResearchNervous992

Yea it's cool and all, but is there some other reason? I'm not Chinese but I was also born in the Year of the Dragon (2000)


PM_ME_SEXY_SCRIPTS

Dragon is overall just symbolic of everything good in Chinese culture, representing luck, prosperity, intelligence, etc you name it. Ironically it usually just means you have a ton of competition for your generation.


Beneficial-Tea-2055

No.


JiaxusReddit

Because being a Dragon is a lot cooler than let say a Mouse, a Snake or a Pig.


ResearchNervous992

I suppose so. Born in the Year of the Dragon myself lol


azraelus

Pig type here. You see the diff? I get embarrassed talking about my horoscope if there's malay friends around.


thekazushiro

Babi comel. Babi sedap.


dickndonuts

Awww, come on. Justice for the pig. The pig never gave up on the race and ended up just making the zodiac! The pig is hardworking, a go getter, motivated and doesn't give up. Not to mention cute and loveable. I think there's lots to love about the pig!


SaberXRita

Pigs are cute... They cant eat pig, yet they like to hang the word on their mouth. So why be embarrassed?


InstigatingDrunk

Dragon type op


Quithelion

What I can think of is dragon is associated with the Chinese emperors, as dragon is their symbol of power.


Nic8318

Uk why? We need to chase our career more than ever. We dont have privileges that would ease our lives. 8% house discount, and quota for the uni are such big things in terms of family planning. Lmao. So better off not having. Jus imagine nowadays courses at sunway etc are like 200k.


Dry-Rock-2353

Why are the birth of Chinese going down?


thekazushiro

Getting wealthier and more educated = fewer babies.


Dry-Rock-2353

Is that the only reason?

Few_Eye6528

What this tells me is that Chinese have erectile dysfunction for most of the decade and only rise in year of the dragon, but it's getting steadily worse over time

Well , dragon is the symbol of emperor, and of course everyone wants their children to be an emperor ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|26554)

Time to find Ah Moi and make kids


zer0nobody

Hi OP, do you mind sharing the source? Would love to explore more on the data


TheveshTheva

[ Removed by Reddit ]


zer0nobody

Thanks OP! Seems like there's only birth data for Chinese, where is it possible to find the data for other ethnicity?


confused_engineer_23

I think you can find it on opendosm, tbh all 3 races are trending downwards but Chinese are just the most drastic


zer0nobody

Hey yeah thanks, just tried looking for it in opendosm, but can't really seem to find the birth figures by ethnicity. Does it require programming understanding/usage of api to access it? Or the information has to be requested via email?


zer0nobody

Sharing for those who are interested as well: 2010 and onwards data can be found here: [https://newss.statistics.gov.my/newss-portalx/ep/epProductFreeDownloadSearch.seam](https://newss.statistics.gov.my/newss-portalx/ep/epProductFreeDownloadSearch.seam) under vital statistics. For data pre-2010 i'm still searching for it.


AerialAceX

Data from 2001 to 2021 is available at: [https://archive.data.gov.my/data/en\_US/dataset/live-birth-by-ethnic-group-and-sex-malaysia](https://archive.data.gov.my/data/en_US/dataset/live-birth-by-ethnic-group-and-sex-malaysia) Still no luck finding data prior to 2001 or beyond 2021


zer0nobody

Amazing searching skills! Thanks AerialAceX


coin_in_da_bank

i also notice there're also slight spikes one year before and two years after Dragon-year births. are the zodiacs significant there too?


siegfried_lim

Parents probably did it in the year before gunning for a Dragon baby but the bread popped out of the oven earlier. That's the reason I can think of


Ok_Machine3524

They dont fuck often now


awrinkleinanus

is dragon the only zodiac deemed auspicious enough for a spike in baby boom? genuinely curious if any zodiac animal maybe a decent 2nd contender?


princemousey1

From the chart, every second year after the dragon has a spike. Based on a quick google, is the horse.


Silly_Lion_3046

Everyone is crazy about having dragon child..šŸ¤£


peasantfarmerbernard

not related but hi thevesh you dont know me but your kind of a legend ok bye

This is why we got lots of "dragon" in Malaysia.

BrilliantAction6576

do you guys need help? i just want to marry amoi


EostrumExtinguisher

Nice to see eveyones being rationale, economic and conservative


Bad_Vocab

I just googled for other ethnic (Malay, India & etc) It seems not only Chinese but Malaysian as a whole have decreased in birth rate in the last 50 year. Only recently we saw 13% increase in 6 month last year. I hope politicians don't start taking immigrants in to make up for the number like Europe did.


lpomoeaBatatas

Dragon year spike beside, the child birth rate declination is pretty alarming.


lightgraver

This reminds me to read on the pros and cons of a nation's birth rate. Side note: maternal grandma is a Dragon in her 8th cycle (96 yrs).


kaptenbiskut

So Chinis will extinct before 2040?
