Chinese still want boys

Read the horrific story here of how far some Chinese parents and grandparents will go to try to “get rid” of baby girls. Scary stuff.

Good video here on the history of China’s population policy and the aftereffects of it. These are quite dramatic and disturbing pictures but great for a Higher, Int 2 and S grade case study.
Read also the article here on the results of the population imbalance and how the one child policy is less than perfect despite being in place for so long now

Look also at the video here on zero population growth


Might be a good idea for Higher pupils to look at this video on the issue of wives in China – and how some boys can’t find one now.
