pilots to the story out of china
go u_s_a_ today did this really great piece about how demographer sorry uh... looking
at the implications of china's one-child rule and we've talked about this before it but
uh... allot of politicians and china are now starting to get worried that this whole one-child
rule is going to negligently affect china in the long run
okay so uh... three things i got out of this article first of all but there will be too
few young people to take care of the elderly people in china and about ten years
yet that's a great point you know as they were doing one-child policy
it worked including the population so thats degrade upside
the downside of than obviously you're living in cuba one child a lot of abortions and sarah
then you for having the base that has the support
the senior citizens
noobs
i was kind of a mistake that's why you don't mess with me if you like that
so that that could have disastrous consequences as that
younger generation gets uh... more and more burdened in china
antennas population will also keep to one point four billion in twenty twenty six
after that it will decline
but that's another fascinating and they say by then this entry it might be quite all the
way down
to seven hundred fifty million people
you've really less than what it is right now
so the way the population works is fascinating and so he its
the chinese government can hang the mission accomplished better it's uh...
my becomes a little too well
but now it's gonna run into some uh... other extra problems that the man is going to tell
you about
but you know what this is the time to have independent there have been consideration
of in discussions on whether they should end it
undefended i think a while back but
right now call gumbo and a lot about dad's exists
your setting up disastrous consequences
was interesting about that is uh... some officials are worried that even if they left this whole
baton
uh... people are still going to only have one child because the economic situation there
see that's we're working with the that's why it's nature's an amazing thing
that's the trend happening all over the world and now it's statically in a lot of asian
countries
where they realized he can no longer makes economic sense that a lot of kids back in
the date that first of all you had a lot of kids who'd who died in the pregnancy or it
during birthdate cetera
uh... and then sayali needy kids for the forms a set of way oversimplifying peggy the more
kids was economically advantageous in the past now is one of the woman quote an article
says
fifty seconds dead
how to how will we have the money to raise a second kid we barely have enough money for
the first to get an education etcetera
if we had two or three they would all get nothing
so that's already happened that's already seeped into the culture in china that's why
okay you got a really sounds or maybe you
but failed at them and as many kids they want
this at
and i thought that i'd want china to be beggar if that their consequences point number three
okay so the third consequence i think is the most serious
than yeah sort of in two thousand male to female ratio house
that's a problem because uh... males are having a hard time fact-finding spouses
yes and now that leads to any norma set of problems ok now they have not
that wave is just beginning okayed it that way he was going to take another ten twenty
thirty years as it unfolds right
so number one you just don't have enough
when they get married to salute that
purchse your
overall population that was the males in the country out of the number two it hurts the
women
because then there's going to be high competition for the woman and people are now saying they're
worried that when they're gonna get sold off
and some of those kinds of the whatever freddie
is that some sociologists that's not in this article that i read about it earlier
are worried
the too many men in a country leads the war
okay and as a fascinating phenomenon to aware
they're frustrated they don't have our partners they don't know what to do right and so
triggers a series of ads is too complicated to explain in the short amount of time that's
sometimes in history has led to war when there is this imbalance among males and females
well there's too many mails
and so on to their word about that that they could you could go on positive directions
through that means probably a lot of chinese men will migrate out of china and
and you know
the more intermixing within the world is probably a good thing
they're playing with fire absolutely
and uh... and i'm afraid at as china becomes
soul powerful over the next twenty years
and they have this terrible imbalance what that might lead to him and uh... and i don't
know how you saw that when you've got
a hundred nineteen mails for
a hundred women right and it's only in a continue getting works
and they're the most populous country in the world with that kind of a gigantic prob
uh... we hope to figure out how to solve that mob's solution number one is get rid of the
one-child policy i can't believe they still have it it's crazy
