China’s skewed sex ratio, where men have outnumbered women by millions in the last three decades, could create serious social problems in the world’s most populous country, a top official warned today.
The gender ratio, which was 113.5 men to every 100 women in 2015, one of the highest in the world, is forecast to drop below 112 by 2020 and 107 by 2030, the National Population Development Outline released by the Chinese central cabinet said.
