China's sex ratio in Newborns

In 2005, the China Family Planning Association (CFPA) conducted a survey on the gender ratios of newborn babies in the city of Lianyungang. They found that in children from newborns to the age of four, the ratio was 163.5 boys for every 100 girls, and in 99 other cities in China the gender ratio was 125 boys to every 100 girls. According to the United Nations standards the average range should be below 107:100. When the gender ratio is off, this can be a serious problem, with the stability and harmony of the family structure. If you have more males than females, the males will have more difficulty finding a spouse, and vise-versa.
