According to souces, China is facing a crux that the gender ratio is quite uneven. China has 37,000,000 more men than women.

In 2005, China's gender ratio of new-born baby was 118-88 (male-female), which far exceeds the normal gender ratio(104-107). In some provinces such as Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Anhui and Henan, the figures are more alarming, which have reached 130-88 .

Some experts say that if the unbalanced gender ratio problem is not contained effectively, it will cause more serious social problems, such as rising crimes, illegal marriage, human-trafficking, abducting women, prostitution and malicious rape.

The causes for the unbalance are varied. The traditional gender stereotypes, sex discrimination against women, the advanced medicine are all contributory factors.

37,000,000 men will have to be Bachelors? Or some other way out?

Lucky that I am a female. I don't need to worry about finding a wife.

well, things must be more serious if no effective measures are taken.

Really? Wow... some of the cities I visited seem to have more women than men. Or maybe it's because I seldom take notice of the men.

This is not a problem. If the next generation has more daughters, they can balance the gender ratio. The guys can wait until they're 40 or 50 years old and then get married to these over-populous women. The other solution is to legalize polygamy, one woman can have more than one husband, just like it used to be for men with multiple wives.

Can the English biologist Spencer's Theory-Social Darwinism explain the ongoing fierce competion in every field (including finding a husband and wife )

" Survival of the fittest", if that is the case, ,men have to compete against other potential husbands to win the love of their dream girls.

Polygamy is a good way out. A female can marry several men. Just kidding, we are living in a civilized society. Away from such unreasonable system.
