Over 27? Unmarried? Female? In China, you could be labelled a "leftover woman" by the state. It is one of the most talked about issues in Chinese society because a lot of educated women are left behind because they set a very high standard for their future husbands ... And they are less willing, unlike their parents. There is an opinion that A- quality guys will find B-quality women, B-quality guys will find C-quality women, and C-quality men will find D-quality women.The people left are A-quality women and D-quality men. So if you are a leftover woman, you are A-quality.But some professional Chinese women these days are happy being single.
State-run media started using the term "sheng NV" in 2007. That same year the government warned that China's gender imbalance - caused by selective abortions because of the one-child policy - was a serious problem. National Bureau of Statistics data shows there are now about 20 million more men under 30 than women under 30.It is said China faced unprecedented population pressures, and that the overall quality of the population is too low, so the country has to upgrade the quality of the population.Some local governments in China have taken to organising matchmaking events, where educated young women can meet eligible bachelors.
