First, the imbalance between men and women Once, with the implementation of the national policy, the population of China experienced a certain period of rapid growth, but there was also a serious imbalance between men and women. We will find that there is a serious imbalance between men and women in China, especially after 1990s, which also makes many boys destined to be single for life due to personal economic reasons. The main reason for this imbalance is that the thinking of the previous generation is too pedantic, and they still cling to the old idea that boys are better. It is precisely because of this preference for boys that many people only choose to have boys when they have children. If girls are found, they will choose not to have children or simply abandon them.
Second, the preference for boys is due to the fact that the previous generation has not been fully civilized in thought, and it has always been believed that men can carry on the family line, raise children to prevent old age and let their clan continue. Because they think that when their daughters grow up, they will eventually marry someone else's house, and only sons can serve the elderly at home, so people are more willing to have sons. Although people have now realized that everyone is equal, and the concept of son preference is gradually fading, the ideological disadvantage caused by that era has now been fulfilled in the post-90 s, because the ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance, and many men can't find wives.
Third, raising children to prevent old age Most people will think about the future pension problem when they have children. Many people think that children are the protection after they are old. They will think about who will take care of themselves when they are old, and according to the traditional concept, those people think that most of them are raised by men and have more time to take care of them. It is precisely because of this itchy and worrying concept that people in some areas prefer boys, which also causes an imbalance between men and women.
