India and China are known for allowing only boy babies to be born. China has a One Child policy. In northern India there are cities with a ration of 100 boys to 30 girls being born. Likewise, since the boy must care for his parents when they are older, the boy baby is chosen over the baby girl in China.
Mark Steyn has a warning about what will happen in the next decade or so, with a lack of females to marry in China:
By mid-century, when today's millions of surplus boys will be entering middle age, India and China are expected to account for a combined 50% of global GDP. On present trends, they will be the most male-heavy societies that have ever existed. As I wrote in my book America Alone, unless China's planning on becoming the first gay superpower since Sparta, what's going to happen to all those excess men?
And what of the western world? Canada and Europe are in steep demographic decline and dependent on immigration to sustain their populations.
