China becomes lenient with the One-Child Policy

China is not as strict about their one-child policy anymore and are allowing adults that are an only child to have 2 children instead of just 1. They are making these changes due to the aging population they are facing now and this will take a toll on not having enough in the working class to take care of all these elderly living off of pension. In the countryside they are being more lenient about it and allowing families to have two kids if the first was a girl. Many couples in China go through abortions if they have a girl, since many want a boy to be able to work and take care of the parents when they are older. Yet it says that, "By the end of the decade, demographers say China will have 24 million "leftover men" who, because of China's gender imbalance, will not be able to find a wife."
