How will the growing gender imbalance affect women in the future?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) June 21st, 2011

In this article, the gender imbalance is described and discussed. Due to one child per family policies in China, India and other nations, people who can afford sonograms are increasingly aborting female children so they can try for boys.

In China, this has to do with the social security system. Male children are the social security system. In other societies there are other reasons.

My question asks you to speculate how this will affect women in the future. Already, there are increasing numbers of bride kidnappings. There are increasing numbers of bachelor males, who tend to be a lot more violent than married males.

What do you think will happen?
