24 mn Chinese men won’t be able to find spouses in 2020
January 11th, 2010 - 3:25 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, Jan 11 (IANS) Some 24 million Chinese men may fail to find spouses in 2020 due to low birth rate of women, a media report said Monday.
China Daily said that according to a report of the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) more inter-generational marriages with wives being older than their husband will emerge.
“People’s minds have changed a lot during the last 20 years. Young couples don’t want to have a second child, or just live a DINK (Double Income No Kid) life,” Yan Hua of CASS was quoted as saying.
Some people’s preference of wanting a boy to continue the family line also leads to the abortion of girls in rural China, the report observed.
