A male dominated society
It has always intrigued me as to why China places such an emphasis on boys. My mother is a social worker and used to work in the adoption field. Every year, we knew of dozens of families who adopted little Chinese girls. I would always ask my mom why girls were always adopted, never boys.
This consequences of this problem is now catching up with China, from what I hear. There are too many men compared to women, and there aren't enough women to go around for men to marry. As a result, China has experienced a decrease in their reproduction rate. Obviously, a female and male is needed to reproduce, but too many men are single, not having a wife to produce offspring with.
I think over the course of the next several years, China's reproduction rate is going to steadily decline and the results will prove to be even more challenging.

If China's reprodcution rate goes down that will turn out to be good for them. Their population is overflowing at the moment. Last year, my trip to China and Korea helped me to realize what an industrious nation the Chinese are. There is an uncountable number of people in China that are unemployed and live on the streets by bartering and selling fake items at high prices. I'm not sure if there is any sort of scientific explanation why there are more boys then girls being born. I might have to look into that. I definitely know more adopted Korean boys then I do girls, would there be a reason Korea is different from China in this aspect?
