Monetary support, free education, guaranteed employment is being gifted to parents who gift the country with a girl child The Government is trying to persuade people to suppress their personal preferences and regulate their community behavior according to the new blueprint to stimulate the girl ratio [B] Sometimes the Government tries to woo them and sometimes it uses stein policies to force them into it
(5)long term impact People, with a patriarchic mindset, came up with their preference for a single male child The idea of a happy family became 'parents with a single male child'
The Chinese culture has always promoted sons over daughters because the society has been dominated by males In villages, where hard work is needed to sustain the agriculture, a boy is always preferable due to his superior physical strength compared to that of a girl [D] In such circumstances, looking forward to a male baby seems justified If people have to limit their families, it is obvious they would prefer a boy over a girl child This problem has been accentuated by the use of ultrasound scanning which helps determine the sex of the fetus This technology has played a crucial role in creating gender imbalance

- productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country's extremely high level of poverty Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well These countries practise mechanized farming and are involved in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living
