It seems the PRC has a shortage of females caused apparently by the one child each family. India on the other hand has an excess of females probably because females have a higher survival rate than males. However, two of the most populated countries in the world with a huge imbalance of male/female could eventually lead to serious social problems. The obvious answer would be for India and the PRC to arrange marriages between the Indian females with no males available and the PRC males with no females although that would/could cause a population explosion and would not be good for an already over-populated planet.
Other solutions do not bear thinking about but it seems something must be done it appears to ease the pressure before the safety valve lifts. Expansion comes to mind where there is room and places like Australia and Africa must look very inviting. No doubt the UN will solve the problem
