CHINA'S DEMOGRAPHIC TIME-BOMB
Ever hear of the terrible low-budget film, Mars Needs Women? Well, China may have the same problem:
A serious shortage of women is looming in China, threatening family and social stability in the world's most populous country. Official statistics show that in 2002, for every 100 newborn girls, there were 117 boys born. If this trend continues, China will have up to 40 million more men than women by 2020.
