Gender Imbalance to Reach Crisis Point in 2014'

ChoSun Ilbo newspaper link
The Korean War Baby notes that these facts are the results of aggressive policy of using ABORTION as a form of Sex Selection for many years. As the birth ratio became more pronounced more Korean men began to seek wives from outside the country. MultiCultural marriages and Mixed-Race children are changing the Demographics of the once “homogenic society”. This is a good thing, maybe the Xenophobia will start to fade when reality hits home and Korean society wakes up to discover, “Look at all these Hoh Hyol Ah children! Oh, my Buddha, homogenic AnNi Oh! (NOT)”. The KWB rejoices as a Half-Breed who is IN THE FACES of some prejudice and ignorant people. CHANGE is coming to Korea!!!


“One in every five men is likely to have trouble finding a spouse by 2014, a study suggests, when the ratio of men to women at the ideal marriage age will reach a record high.

The study by the Gyeonggi Province Family and Women's Research Institute …attributed the imbalance to the country's traditional preference for boys. It was the most conspicuous among the third and fourth child in a family. The overall gender ratio stood at 106.4 boys to 100 girls last year, within the normal range of between 103 and 107.

But for the third and fourth child, the institute said it was an "open secret" that couples have pre-natal sex screening and sex-selective abortions. "In addition, a continued growth in the number of single women over the proper age for marriage is making the situation worse," it added.

The KWB notes that “the proper age for marriage” has gone up and poor single women are being blamed for few births. Many factors are indeed involved causing the government’s policies to reverse course. Watch for ‘drastic measures’ to be announced soon by the Korean authorities! Laws must be made to Force women to get married and have more babies! Maybe enforcing laws on abortion might help? The KWB just shakes his head in dismay!

  1. I wonder what that "ideal age" for marriage is defined as. Seems like another Catch-22!
