Let me tell you something. Here in China there are too many males ratio for females. By yr 2040, 70% of the population will be over 68yrs of age. This is not the peoples fault but rather the Chinese one child policy which forces parents preference for boys. Abortion is getting out of control here in China. soon the working population will have to support the elderly.

The demographic models of the Chinese population are going to prove unsustainable in about 50 years. The "One Child Per Couple" rule will result in a gerontocracy, as well as an economy where more and more of its resources are expended on caring for a highly dependent elderly segment of the population.
