The most recent stat I can find for China in the 15-30 age range, which I think would probably be most important for this kind of thing, there are 1.06 males to every 1.0 females. So, no that big of an imbalance at all. (At birth though, it seems to be 1.19 to 1.0, so it's either getting much worse, or a lot of boys are dying at a young age). |
Well, considering that China has a population exceeding 1.3 billion, that would leave over 30 million guys perptually single even with a 6% difference and Japan probably aorund 2.5-3 million if the statistics are similar. Pluss, the statistics might be even more skewed when moving up and down the age segments, perhaps as much as 10% in some? But thanks for digging up the numbers!
