Thesis: The one child policy has had the negative effect of a growing rate of more boys then girls in China.
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Chinas central government was working to limit each family to one child each to limit the rapidly growing population. During this period of time, Chinas population was approaching one billion making the demand even greater for the one child policy. Once this policy was set in place, it took an unexpected negative turn. With families wanting a boy more than a girl, roughly 118 boys are born to each girl. This leads to not enough woman for the men to marry when they get older. But why is it that these families prefer boys? One theory is that boys are the ones who grow up to care for their parents when they become elderly while girls join the family of their husband. Also, Chinese parents want their son to carry on their family name. This is how the issue of "Chinas missing girls" developed.
