The ratio of men to women in China is 116:100, which is much higher than the result of natural selection. Try to analyze the current phenomenon of "preference for men over women" in China from an economic point of view. The direct cause of the current problem is the traditional ideological problems, thousands of years of ideas and habits can not be changed in a few decades.

Of course, the root of the problem is also an economic problem, but it is an economic problem of thousands of years ago.

From the point of view of the status of women in different ethnic groups, the status of women in the agrarian ethnic groups is relatively low, while the status of women in the nomadic, commercial ethnic groups is relatively high. The reason for this is the different economic status of different genders in different economic modes, as women play a lesser role in agricultural activities and a relatively higher role in pastoral and commercial activities.

And China's main ethnic group, the Han, belongs to the standard farming nation, so from the beginning of the farming era, the role of men in economic activities began to be significantly higher than that of women, and the subsequent social status began to gradually improve, and with the continuation of the farming civilization, and increasingly strengthened.

As parents, of course, they want to have male offspring who can play a greater role in agricultural economic activities, so this concept has been passed on and strengthened throughout thousands of years of the agricultural era.

While the main body of China's economy is now developing to the level of early industrialization, a concept passed down over thousands of years cannot be eliminated in a few decades, and it is almost impossible to eradicate it completely. This concept can only be gradually changed as the actual economic role of men and women in economic activities changes in the development of the economic model.

In other words, the actual economic roles of men and women in economic activity can be thought of as their intrinsic value, and parental choice in the reproductive process as a process of pursuing offspring of higher value. The concept of "preference for men over women" is a stereotype formed in an environment where the actual economic role of men is generally higher than that of women over a long period of time. Want to fundamentally change this concept of practice can only with the process of economic development, the actual economic role of men and women change, and auxiliary through the means of publicity, appropriate to accelerate the process of reproductive choice to the actual economic role of the economy back. And any forced acceleration pull means, will inevitably cause more violent fluctuations rebound.
