Document Summary
"little emperors" refer to children that have grown up in an engvironment where they have gotten pretty much everything they"ve wanted. This has created so much social conflict that some employers will not hire single children. In some rural areas there are only 67 girls for every 100 boys: this is creating a lack of brides for many men. In 2005, there were 32 million more marriage-age men in country than there were women. This has created a rise in the number who have multiple husbands. There is also increased migration from the rural areas to the cities: this incredases the size of the labor force in china which lowers wages, thus increases the amount of goods that they produce and export. It becomes more difficult for american manufactures to complete. Social deviance - happens because men are not settling down in marriage and having children.
