China has a One Child Policy to reduce its rapid population growth. However, this caused big families in the past to transform to smaller one now, as an attempt to adapt to social production and the style of life. There will also be an unbalanced sex ratio as traditional Chinese families prefer males over females since they are able to continue the family line. This encourages the illegal practice of sex-selective abortion, acts of child abandonment and infanticide. The orphanages in China experience overcrowding as a result of child abandonment.
