> Although students have a lower income, with the one-child policy these “little emperors” receive a disproportionate amount of the family income.
I'd like to help clarify the slang a little bit. Because of 2+ generations of the one-child policy, children born today are sole heirs of 4 grandparents. Compound this with a high savings rate and the kids born today have plenty of disposable income. This is especially true among boys who receive extra favors from grandparents and spend hours playing games at the wangba.
