Too Many Males in China: The Causes and the Consequences

Abstract

Abstract We expect that, roughly, as many boys will be born into the world as girls. However, in some places, social pressures combined with modern medicine seriously distort the ratio of the sexes. In China, there are a million excess male births each year. Thérèse Hesketh looks at what this will mean for the generation that lacks women.
