hiding from the government.Many they save are second daughters who would otherwise be aborted in hopes of having a son. Gender selective abortion in China has created a huge imbalance in the number of males and females among the younger generation, and some rural villages have no eligible women for the bachelors who live there.Burmese women have been kidnapped and sold to be wives of Chinese men.

India does not practice forced abortion or require permits for births, but several states now require all government employees and elected representatives to have only two children. If a third child is born, they can lose their job. This sets an example for the population at large to make more children less acceptable. All the states of India that have this policy now have birth rates lower than their replacement rates, and will be having declining populations. The potential loss of a job certainly puts pressure on parents to abort, and sex selection abortion in particular will surely rise as a result. In the state of Assam, where the two child policy is now being proposed and is expected to pass, there is already a ratio, in the urban areas of the state, of 125.9 boys born for every 100 girls. The policy is harder on the poor.Government posts offer economic opportunity to the poor, but they need to have more children to ensure children who will survive to adulthood and offer them security in their old age.
