SHANGHAI will welcome 170,000 new-born babies this year who will help push the city's population to 19.1 million.
This year's permanent population in Shanghai will increase by 0.3 percent, or 220,000, from 18.88 million in 2008, the Shanghai Municipal Population and Family Planning Commission said yesterday.
