We report on calculations of the pulsar birthrate based on the results of the Parkes multibeam survey. From the observed sample of more than 800 pulsars, we compute the pulsar current, accounting as accurately as possible for all known selection effects. The main goal of this work is to understand the pulsar birthrate as a function of the surface dipole magnetic field strengths. We show that pulsars with magnetic fields greater than 10**12.5 G account for about half of the total birthrate.
