Chinese girls spoiled for choice
中国女孩不愁嫁
Men of marriageable age now outnumber women by 18 million in China and the sex ratio is set to become more skewed because rural families prefer boys, state press said today.
国家新闻部今天声称,中国适婚男性超过女性1800万,而且性别比例将会因为农村家庭偏爱男孩而更加失调. .
Sex-selective abortions, a direct result of the nation's one-child policy, have boosted the number of boys born in China in recent years.
近些年来，国家的计划生育政策直接导致的选择性堕胎促进了中国男婴数量的增长
By 2020 there will be 30 million more men than women aged between 20 and 45 in China, the Xinhua news agency said, quoting the head of the country's National Population and Family Planning Commission.
China's birth ratio averaged 119.58 boys to every 100 girls, while in rural areas the ratio was 122.85 males to 100 females, Zhang Wiqing said at a symposium on rural population.
By comparison, the world averages between 103 and 107 male births per 100 female births, the report said.
