    What started as a government-backed campaign to shame women in their late 20s and 30s who didn’t marry and have children has backfired spectacularly. Hear from the daughters of the one child policy; now the most educated, affluent women in Chinese history, and what they think about career, marriage and children.
    This is episode 2 of China's Demographic Revolution, a 5-part series of the Inside China podcast.

    are they leftover because they can't marry or because they don't want to get married unless the man has a house and a car and make at least 100,000RMB a year?

      Are men miserable because they feel entitled to women being with them even when they have nothing to offer, but will surely demand a whole lot from her anyway?

      This is a translation thing, “剩” to "Leftover", whereas "Leftover" gets too much negative connotation, while “剩” in Chinese are much neutral.

      Americans used to call single women over 30 spinsters. China’s not new to this idea. also a society w/o next gen dies out. look up medical science- all pregnancies over age 35 are high-risk.

    Chinese women are pressured to marry once they reach a certain age in their lifetimes. Seems like there are far more Chinese men looking for a suitable match compared to their female counterparts. It's great to see women spark changes. For a developed country, it's an impressive feat.

      No matter in which country Not just in China, women can't have babies when they bypass a certain age, so they need to get marry at certain age, of course, some people don't want baby at all and they won't care about the age of women, but most of people want to have babies.

    Do not use "leftover" to describe human beings especially women. That is insulting and demeaning. Highly likely this term is coined by the Chinese men to put women down if they choose not to get married.
