Youth
Most married couples in China are subjected to one child policy,which is introduced in 1979 to curb(控制) massive(大量的)population growth.It is believed to have prevented more than 300 million births since then.
Another consequence of the policy has been the emergence(出现) of so called "little emperors",a generation of self-centered consumers has developed.
While Chinese education system has rapidly developed,there remains a heavy emphasis(重点) on passing exams.The upshot of this is that exams dictate the curriculum(课程) while Chinese students can master and memorize incredible amounts of knowledge and information,they often lack the ability to critically think,develop their own opinions,and engage in creative activities.(批判思维,独立思考和创新能力).
Due to the propensity for preferring sons over daughters,China is facing a large population imbalance with currently around 120 boys born for every 100 girls.By 2020,there will be 30 million more men than women.
