Why are there more boys than girls in China?

Traditionally Chinese families value male children more than female children. Male children are responsible for caring for their parents when their parents reach old age. Male children can also carry on the family name because children are traditionally given the family name of their fathers. Several years ago it was made illegal to abort a pregnancy after learning the unborn child's gender. For population control reasons, Chinese couples are allowed only one baby, so they all abort the girls because it's the boys who will stay with them when they are old and care for them- the girls will go away and get married.
