Some of the social consequences of the one-child policy will be lessened by the fact that it's now easy for young men to migrate to other countries for school and/or work.

It's easier, but they can't export tens of millions of young men just like that.

Young women are just as capable of going abroad as the men to look for work and opportunities.

And the men who do go abroad are the ones most likely to be successful and therefore appealing to Chinese women.

Also, when Chinese emigrate right now, they wind up having far fewer ties to the motherland than they used to.

They are not leaving behind huge extended families, they are generally coming from nontraditional urban settings where they did not set up particularly deep roots, they are growing up in a more Americanized fashion in China already, etc.
