But the Chinese gender ratio (性別比例 ) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2020. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family.

It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country. Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face.
