The one child policy was established in the 1970's in order to control a rapidly growing Chinese population. This resulted in heavy discrimination and violence against girls and women. Because Chinese culture prizes male children as the continuum of family bloodlines, a custom of killing baby girls through either infanticide or abortion became increasingly common.
The development of ultrasounds, that allow the sex of an unborn child to be determined have promoted instances of sex-selective abortion, where a fetus is aborted if it happens to be female.
This has caused a wide gap in the gender ratio of Chinese people. The current statistic is 119 males to every 100 females.

What is the probability of giving birth to a baby girl?
You have a 1 in 2 chance of having a girl. No matter how many boys you have had in the past or how many girls you have had in the past, each pregnancy presents the opportunity to have a girl or a boy with a 50% chance. The sperm does not know that it had already produced ,say, 5 boys and needs to produce a girl for you and your partner. So with every pregnancy there is a 50% chance you will have a girl and a 50% chance you will have a boy.
