  1. The consequences of central planning are hard to predict. 10k years have shuffled countries and cultures into predictable associations and relationships. The single child family has put daughters in the position of being high value as parents invested all their efforts into her. The son of a prospective couple are in the same position. So there is an escalation of perceived financial value. The result is a child rearing family that is far less than one seen across the social spectrum. Perhaps for each possible mating pair there are 99 pairs that won't produce a child. Indeed it is possible that 90 pairs will not live together.
