Traditions Weigh On China's Women

Traditions Weigh On China's Women
Christopher Allen wrote this article in 2006. He wrote it because 150000 women commit suicide every year, because it is easy to find poisons in agricultural areas, specially after having a bitter fight between a husband and wife .
In rural areas many traditional marriages are arranged like business deals in which the groom buys the bride and she becomes part of his family so this leads to emotional problems and an unwilling feeling leading to arguments and fighting.
Because of strict birth policies, the studies show that many young men won’t be able to find wives in 2020 because China will have a shortage of 40 million woman by 2020.
Xu Rong says the best way to solve this problem is by doing a small project and discussing the social problems with women and trying to increase the level of education especially in agricultural areas.
Women going to work are helping to decrease the number of suicides because they will be far away from the farms. On the other hand working could be dangerous because of the dangers of being sexually abused.

Main Idea
The huge number of women suicides in China could affect China’s population. Also how to increase the level of education in people in the agricultural areas and let them solve problems by taking an effective action.

Comment
The government of China should solve the problem by putting active solutions not only by making rules like the number of children in each family.
