probably close to zero?
There’s considerable debate over whether even China’s “One Child” policy had any direct effect or it just happened to coincide with a natural decline in birth rates that would’ve happened in China regardless.
If it’s not even clear that an incredibly blunt government policy had that much of a direct effect, I’m not sure what research could possibly turn up for other nations.
- nullc 4y ago> whether even China’s “One Child” policy had any direct effect or it just happened to coincide with a natural decline in birth rates Surely you jest: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/images/attachement/jpg/site1/20150917/b083fe95d63017645e980a.jpg https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/images/attachement/jpg/s... How does natural decline in birth rates explain the massive shift towards male children not experienced in other developing nations?
- BoxFour 4y agoBirth rates are not the same thing as gender disparity, obviously.
- AngryData 4y agoOn the other hand, ive also heard a decent amount about native undocumented Chinese women from the same policies. A large number of undocumented native Chinese women popped into existence from those policies when they started reaching college age, and others into corporate business which we do know about. But how many more merely work local service jobs under the table, or got married and became a homemaker. Living in a more rural area with a more traditional lifestyle would already have incentivized women into those rolls, and then more would just want to stay hidden for fear of government appraisal, and there is no clear or obvious record of those people.
