Chinese Wife Shortage!

While searching for some information about the balance between men and women in China, I stumbled upon an interesting statistic. In the next decade, Chinese men will find that they have difficulty finding wives, due to a gender imbalance that affects most of the country. Although the nationwide disparity between male and female infants is less than a twenty percent difference, in some regions, particularly those that suffer from high rates of crimes against women, the ratio can be 138 men to every 100 women. The country is home to tens of millions more men than women, and the traditional agrarian societal ideals which placed higher value on males than females are to blame. This imbalance, however, and lack of women to marry Chinese men may change the value of womanhood in the culture due to the laws of supply and demand.
