Female infanticide does not only occur in India and China, but in this case study we will focus on those two countries, two of the most populous countries in the world.
Note: China does not longer have a one-child policy. It was replaced with a two-child policy in 2015, and a three-child policy in 2021. This is expected to greatly decrease the prevalence of female infanticide and sex-selective abortions in China.
