Topic Reading-Vol.331-3/8/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China's sex ratio at birth declines.
Just imagine a group of 100 girls and another group of 118 boys are lined up facing each other, trying to find someone to dance with. 18 boys won’t be able to find their partners so they may look for ones in other groups. But if other groups have even more boys than girls, what will they do?
That’s what has been happening in China, where boys are preferred over girls especially under their famous one-child policy, since 1980’s when a technology enabled parents to find their prospective baby’s gender.
Enjoy reading and learning about China’s competitive situation not for entering a good college or getting a job this time but for finding a partner.
