The preference for male children in China, often rooted in cultural traditions and economic factors, has led to a significant gender imbalance. This preference is exacerbated by the historical one-child policy, which incentivized families to abort female fetuses to ensure a male heir. Additionally, some families believe that sons will provide financial support and carry on the family name, further driving the practice of sex-selective abortions. Despite legal prohibitions, these cultural norms persist, contributing to the ongoing issue.
