"(CNN) -- Some 24 million Chinese men of marrying age will find themselves lacking wives in 2020, partly because of the country's one-child policy, which has led to the abortion of female fetuses, state media said Monday.
Sex-specific abortions have led to a large male population born since the 1980s, the China Daily newspaper said, citing a study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."
So, what happens when young men don't have access to women? Take a look at the Muslim world, where polygamy has caused a similar situation. War - that's what happens. Without the prospect of marriage, and having no women to "civilize" them, young men get violent.
I say we find a way to steer these two trains toward one another.
