China Shrugs Off the Ties That Bind
Keywords: China Marraige, China Women,
Tags: Current Focus, China, Women,
This exceptional article in the NYT by Emily Feng and Carlos Tejada shows the social changes taking place in China as more women and men decide to postpone marraige. For the first time there are more women than men in master's degrees programs in China. Women in China are now increasingly better educated and prefer to be independent, not dependent on their spouses as in the previous generation. A typical Chinese household has 3.1 people in 2015 compared to 4.43 people in 1982, according to the China National Bureau of Statistics. Fewer children, more people living alone, women living independently, and seniors living alone are some of the reasons.

South Korea's remarkable transformation in attitudes towards women, towards female childbirths and female children 1990-2016
11/27/2015
In a remarkable turnaround South Korea was able to transform attitudes towards female childbirths so that there are now 105 males to 100 females in 2015, about the same as in the U.S. and Europe. Geeta Anand and Jaeyeon Woo provide this heartwarming story of how women activists in South Korea, the media, government and the courts, all helped to set in place a change of perceptions in society, ensuring women are recognized as heirs for family lineage, providing women other rights, so that mothers now are just as happy when a child is female. The South Korean example offers hope for China and India to reverse the dangerous trend in society of having a huge disparity between male and female births and ratios, but only if society is mobilized to take action now as happened in South Korea. China's two child policy is a step in the right direction but many see it as not enough, or too little too late.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
