There are nearly 20 percent more single men than single women in Korea, according to a Monday report from the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA), matching a historical preference for sons.

    Interesting in that, flipping it around, there doesn’t appear to be another country with as large a disparity.

    Armenia is #1 with 55% women:

      Improving relations between China and Russia/Eastern Europe is the solution to both countries’ demographics problems.

          Cross marriage, I have more male and you have more female, lets mingle.

          That being said, there are a lot of marriages between Chinese men and Russian women.

          Opposing gender ratios, supposing that a gender imbalance were the source of their problems.

            Somehow I doubt it’s the gender imbalance that is the issue, as opposed to the underlying socioeconomic situations of each country

              You uh … not understand what the word “supposing” means? Nevermind the later use of the word “were”. Where did you get the idea that I actually believe this idea?

              Someone asked what another commenter meant, and I explained it. My personal opinion was not solicited, but I implied my doubt anyways. How you and one other missed it is beyond me.
