China Birth limits causes problems for gender gap

China has about 32 million more young men than young women. Serious problems could arise from this complexity. Might lead to the rise in the crime rates because parents facing strict birth limits abort female fetuses to have a son. The problem is expected to worsen over the next two decades and could trigger even more social problems. China imposed strict birth controls in the 1970s to limit growth of its huge population because of the lack of resources, especially land, were increasingly strained and that changes were needed in its new push to modernize. The government says the controls have prevented an additional 400 million births in the world's most populous country of 1.3 billion. This is a problem that exists for the Chinese government that they need to tackle, or more problems could ensue for the fragile government.
