Male rates could come from multiple causes: men are more often likely to emigrate for money (to Canada, SE Asia, etc., in addition to China) or women may be numerous in Hong Kong for another reason (more domestics from China than workers?). It would be interesting to find out.<BR/><BR/>When I taught in Taipei it was interesting to me that in the senior seminary class (about equal numbers of men and women) all the men were married, but only one of the 15 or so women was married. I think men from wealthy areas (Taiwan, HK) do have more choice than women, and mail order brides are much more common in Taiwan (from China and SE Asia). If women come from abroad, this would also raise the female: male ratio. Come to think of it, this may be the cause in HK: all the original women plus a large number of foreign brides.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275023235078665120noreply@blogger.com
