BOOST BIRTHRATE WITH MULTIPLE HUSBANDS: PROF

An economics professor at Fudan University in Shanghai has come up with a controversial solution to China’s low birthrate: allow women to have multiple husbands, and they’ll have multiple babies.

“I wouldn’t suggest polyandry if the gender ratio was not so severely imbalanced,” Yew-kwang Ng, who is Malaysian, wrote in his regular column on a Chinese business website this month. The headline asked: “Is polyandry really a ridiculous idea?”

“I’m not advocating for polyandry, I’m just suggesting that we should consider the option in the face of an imbalanced gender ratio,” he continued.
