40 Million Frustrated Bachelors by 2020

You really should check out Arts and Letters Daily (see the link to the left). A prof at UD first introduced me to it a couple of years ago. There are links to all kinds of good articles written on a wide range of topics from politics to literature.

This article is unsettling. What happens when a society, with a policy of only one child per family and a penchant for boys, is introduced to ultrasound technology? This is what countries in Asia are dealing with now--20 years after the introduction of the ultrasound. There aren't enough women for all the twenty-something bachelors and things have been looking pretty grim. The article points to the implications this has not only for Chinese society, for instance, but also on its relationships with other countries.
