Female genocide
The Economist has an interesting Article not strictly employment related, but fascinating nevertheless. The Worldwide War on Baby Girls explores the consequences of China's one child policy, and the skewed birth statistics which have resulted. The issue is not limited to China as India and parts of the old Soviet Union have an increased disparity. By 2020 China may have 40 Million more males under 20 than it has females. Thats roughly as many as the entire United States population of males under twenty is estimated to be. The social consequences of millions of young men in a society unable to marry are mind boggling - increased crime rate for one. Will the theory of unintended consequences derail China's emergence as a worldwide economic superpower?
