"Some 24 million Chinese men of marrying age will find themselves lacking wives in 2020, partly because of the country's one-child policy, which has led to the abortion of female fetuses, state media said Monday."
"Sex-specific abortions have led to a large male population born since the 1980s, the China Daily newspaper said, citing a study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."
"The gender imbalance means that the next decade will see many intergenerational marriages: young men married to women much older than them, the study said."
Of course, that means nothing to population culling proponents such as Dianne Frances of the National Post.
This is cute: "Enforcement varies, but usually takes the form of fines to discourage extra births."Yup, just little fines, no forced abortions or anything.
Ahh the glories of totalitarianism and state planning. Memo to women: This is the extreme end of socialized medicine-the government owns your uterus.
