China's New Birth Rule Can't Restore Missing Women and Fix a Population
By Mara Hvistendahl
Summary:
China has passed a law limiting families for only one child but this could lead to a big increase in economic growth. Because of this policy many families get ultrasounds to determine the gender of the baby to find out if she/he was a boy or girl and leads abortion because they did not want a female. Some part of China wants a boy because they want to carry out their ancestry line. There a lot of men in China without women to marry. People believe it is due to the one child policy. When couples want more boys over a girl, researchers show that there will be fewer children and birth rates. There has also been an increase in sex trafficking and bride buying.
Reflection:
This is scary how China cares rather the baby is a boy or girl. This also limits their population. I think they should stop caring about that and just have which other gender they receive so it could be stabilized. I think the one child policy does not help china, but it is destroying it little by little. I think they're more males than females in China so that is a major problem because it leaves the males without a family. Sex trafficking is also increased and bride buying which is horrible.
