China offers perks to stop aborting baby girls
Rural families in China, where there is a traditional bias for boys, are being offered cash incentives to stop aborting baby girls and help correct the sex imbalance, the China Daily said yesterday.
Under the “Care for Girls” pilot programme, girls would be exempted from paying school fees, insurance would be given to households until their daughters grow up and families with just one daughter would enjoy housing, employment, education and welfare privileges, the newspaper said.
China has stringent rules on family planning, which allows couples usually to have just one child, at least in the cities, and limit numbers elsewhere.
If a farming family’s first-born is a girl, it is allowed to have another baby.
