Having such an oversized population lead to the Chinese government enforcing a one-child policy, whereby each couple was only permitted to give birth to one child. In addition, there was a great preference for couples to rather have sons than daughters. These two factors led to a major gender imbalance in the country, with the number of men exceeding the number of women by 34 million!

This has created an enormous issue for the male population, as many are unable to find girlfriends and wives. This problem for men has been transformed into a business opportunity for some women, who have decided to become girlfriends for hire! The price for Chinese singles to hire a date can range anywhere between 15 cents and $288 per hour.
