The number of China's single men could exceed the entire population of Australia in five years' time, a Fujian government statistician has calculated.

一名福建政府统计人员估计，五年之内，中国单身男性数量将会超过整个澳大利亚人口。
 
There are likely to be 118.9 boys born for every 100 girls by 2020, Yao Meixiong, deputy director of census1 with the Fujian Provincial2 Bureau of Statistics, told The Paper website.
 
That would result in an extra 9.5 million men aged3 from 20 to 29, 12.6 million boys under 9-years-old and millions more in the ages in between. Australia's population is about 24 million.
 
At least 10 per cent of the nation's young men would not be able to find a spouse4 after 2020, Yao claimed, adding that the greatest imbalance would be among the youngest generation, meaning younger men would find it harder to find a partner.
 
He suggested this could lead to a new social group of single men being formed, most of whom would be poor and likely to remain single for the rest of their lives.
