160 million missing girls

[AngryAmish]

Over the past few decades, 160 million women have vanished from East and South Asia — or, to be more accurate, they were never born at all. Throughout the region, the practice of sex selection — prenatal sex screening followed by selective termination of pregnancies — has yielded a generation packed with boys. From a normal level of 105 boys to 100 girls, the ratio has shifted to 120, 150, and, in some cases, nearly 200 boys born for every 100 girls. In some countries, like South Korea, ratios spiked and are now returning to normal. But sex selection is on the rise in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

3. The Boom in Girls in Korea is the result of an interesting phenomenon

Since all males were drafted into the military, most women went to college. When the Korean colleges were full, they went to Japan, the US, Canada, Europe to go to school. Although many stayed, many also came home - often bringing with them on the job work experience. This is especially so in biosciences, computer science and engineering.

The males, many of them going to college on the Korean version of the GI Bill after their service, married older women who had jobs.

The old way has been completely destroyed by the new female technocrati.

This is, also, a microcosm pointing to how we might get out of our economic system. College degrees are becoming worthless, and the businesses are moving overseas. We should do something akin to what has happened in South Korea (which itself was inspired by the GI Bill from the 1940s-60s
