China offers rural couples incentives for having girls By Tim Johnson Knight Ridder Newspapers JINSHI, China — In a few rural corners of China, authorities are trying to convince parents that it isn't the end of the world if they have only girls. A program called "Caring for Girls" allows village officials to pay for girls' schooling, exempts rural parents from paying taxes and even helps build new homes for parents with two girls — as long as they stop having more children. "This program offers the girls a free education all the way to college, if they can make it," said Bai Pian, a Communist Party official in this hamlet of coastal Fujian province. seattletimes.nwsource.com
