The sex ratio at birth in China has exceeded 107 for nearly 30 years. This paper reviews the policy
responses to gender imbalance in China, which include China's strategic policies and actions on
the governance of the male-skewed Sex Ratio at Birth (abbreviated as SRB). First, as its official
position has evolved, the Chinese government has introduced a series of laws and regulations at
both the national and provincial levels. Second, this paper analyzes a national
government-oriented public policy system and strategic platform, the "Care for Girls" Campaign,
including its history and latest progress. These policy responses and interventions have
substantially enhanced women's social status and reduced the SRB. This paper highlights policy
responses and their results using the latest Population Census data to assess changes in SRB
during the decade from 2000 to 2010 in China.
