Will dragon babies give HK a fertility boost?
The Year of the Dragon is considered to be an especially auspicious year, and so-called ‘dragon babies’ born under this zodiac sign are often ascribed with positive qualities such as being especially intelligent, lucky and successful.  Whether that’s actually true is open to debate... but there’s no question that here in Hong Kong, dragon years have typically seen a surge in births.  But what about this year -- with the fertility rate at a record low, coupled with an uncertain economy -- will we still see a baby boom here and in the mainland?
