Overpopulated Areas Without Enough Children

"In Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely populated cities, the birth rate fell to 0.94 babies per woman of child-bearing age in 2003, prompting the city's deputy leader to call couples to have three children each 'to help alleviate the ageing population.'"

"When the birthrate in Singapore, also one of the world's most densely crowded cities, dropped to a record low of 1.26 in 2003, the government began to offer a 'baby bonus' of about $2,000US for a family's first two children and about $4,000US for their third and fourth children."
