The preponderance of male over female registered births is very marked amongst the Chinese, there being 321 males to 100 females; in 1900 the proportion was 266 males to 100 females. With the addition of the 782 above mentioned unregistered births the proportion becomes 159 males to 100 females.
In the Non-Chinese community the proportion of male births to female births for 1909 was 119 to 100, as compared with 117 to 100 in 1909 and 108 to 100 in 1908.
DEATHS.
The deaths registered during the year numbered 7,639 (7,267 in 1909). The death-rate was therefore 21.76 per 1,000 as against 21.13 in 1909.
The total number of deaths amongst the Chinese community was 7,430 which gives a death-rate of 22.50 per 1,000 as against 21.68 in 1909 and 28.35 in 1908.
The deaths registered amongst the Non-Chinese community numbered 209 of which 182 were from the Civil population, 20 from the Army and 7 from the Navy.
This gives a death-rate for the Non-Chinese community of 10.04 per 1,000 as compared with 12.45 in 1909 and 14.78 in 1908.
This death-rate contrasts very favourably with that of the Chinese and also with that of the United Kingdom (which for 1908 and 1909 was 15.2 and 14.8 respectively), but it must be borne in mind that over half the population of the Colony (including Chinese) is between the ages of 20 and 45 and that invalids frequently leave the Colony for their native countries.
The nationalities of the deceased were as follows:- British 73, Indian 48, Portuguese 34, Japanese 16, Malay and Filipino 14, American and French 4 each, German 5, Spanish, Italian and Jewish 2 each, Danish 1; this gives a death rate of 8.1 per 1,000 for Europeans and whites, 10.7 per 1,000 for East Indians, and 11.5 per 1,000 for races classed as mixed and coloured.
The total number of deaths which occurred amongst the Non-Chinese resident civil population (omitting, that is to say, the 18 deaths in the Mercantile Marine and Foreign Navies) was 164 and allowing 1,500 for the Non-Chinese floating population this gives a death-rate of 12.85 per 1,000 for the resident Non-Chinese civil population.
