Chinese parents prefer girls rather than boys, because it is the role of a daughter to care for elderly parents
a. True
b. False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
False
RATIONALE: Anticipating their years as elders, some couples wanted the "safety net" of additional children—especially boys. If a young urban couple has just one child and it is a girl, it is likely that she will marry and become, by Chinese tradition, such a part of the husband's family that she may not be available to care for her parents as they get older. China has traditionally used the son's family as the "old folks' home.".
