A “Missing” Generation By Morgan Lindsay

A Brief History on China’s One-Child Policy This was created to regulate how many children a family could have The On-Child Policy was not regulated until 1980, but the Chinese government started to urge couple to only have one child in 1979. Has a tremendous effect on families in rural areas Families in rural areas relied on their children to take care of them when they started to age.

Effects of the One-Child Policy Since the implementation of the One-Child Policy families only wished to have sons. Sons are preferred because they would make better wages in the Chinese economy If a family finds out they are having a girl they are more inclined to have an abortion or put the girl up for adoption.

Abortion Rate The slide on the right indicates the number of abortions that have taken place in China since 1979. The abortion rate is compared to other pregnancy prevention methods that took place. The amount of gender selection abortions has been called “gendercide.” Statistics were taken from the All GIRLS ALLOWED website. This website is dedicated to raise awareness about the gendercide that is happening in China

Lasting Effects China is “missing” more females than the size of Canada’s total population There will be a generation of men that will not be able to find wives China has a sex ratio of around 120 men to 100 women.

Positive Effects Women are now competing on the same level as men for university educations They are valued more They status across the range has risen There has been a government campaign made in supporting them called “Care for Girls”
