China Gender Selection

China Has a Gender Gap of 32 Million Extra Boys Due to Sex-Selection Abortions, Infanticides

Beijing, China (LifeNews.com) -- Because of the higher incidence of sex-selection abortions and female infanticides, a new study published in the British Journal of Medicine says that, in 2005, there were 32 million more males than females under the age of 20. "Sex-selective abortion accounts for almost all the excess males," say the authors, pointing to the cultural preference for boys and the use of ultrasounds to determine the sex of the baby for an abortion when a girl is found. Although choosing to have an abortion on the basis of sex is illegal in China, enforcement is spotty. The study included nearly five million people under the age of 20 and covered every county in China. It found that overall ratios of boys were high everywhere, but were most striking among the younger age group of 1-4 years, and in rural areas, where it peaked at 126 boys for every 100 girls. There, the cultural preference for girls is at its highest. In most other countries, boys slightly outnumber girls at birth, with ratios between 103 and 107 boys per 100 girls. The authors noted the bachelor society that the phenomenon is producing. As a result, China can expect to see "Very high and steadily worsening sex ratios in the reproductive age group over the next two decades," the report concludes, an outcome likely to increase social tensions as millions of men will be unable to find brides. The news comes after a report indicating sex-selection abortions may be decreasing in Shanghai. New figures in Shanghai indicate an improvement -- however sleight -- in the figures in the large urban city. The gender ratio for newborns among families considered to be permanent residents amounted to 114.8 boys for every 100 girls last year, down from 115.2 in 2007. That is the first time the gender imbalance improved in eight years, according to population control officials. According to the Shanghai Daily newspaper, the ratio for the city's most stable population was 106.5 boys to 100 girls in 2008, 1.2 points lower than in 2007.

Twin Girls Saved From Abortion in China, Husband's Family Only Wanted Boys

On June 1, China will celebrate "Children's Day" with children's art exhibitions and performances. Meanwhile, no mention will be made of the fact that China has "prevented" more than 400 million children from being born, often by forced abortion, through its brutal One Child Policy. In addition, millions of Chinese baby girls are being aborted, just because they are girls.

The people of China cherish their children, but the government of China is crushing them. If the Chinese government truly cared about children, it would stop forcibly aborting them. Ref. Source 3

China's 'missing girls' theory likely far overblown, study shows

It's common for media and academics to cite the statistic that China's one-child policy has led to anywhere from 30 million to 60 million "Missing girls" that has created a gender imbalance in the world's most populous nation. But a new study that has found those numbers are likely overblown and that a large number of those girls aren't missing at all — it was more of an administrative story that had to do with how births are registered at local levels in China.

China Gender Selection

China's two-child policy may exacerbate gender inequality. Since China ended its one-child policy allowing all families to have up to two children, an additional 90 million women have become eligible to have a second child. But new sociology research suggests the new universal two-child policy could be negatively affecting women's status and gender equality. Source 8g.
