There are still imbalance issues in massive countries like China and India, and the last thing I want is a bunch of frustrated men in a capitalist dystopia (= fascism pretty much). The number I see from a quick search is around 70 million more men than women in India and China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/). They need to figure this shit out quickly. And it can't just be let women from other countries immigrate because then the countries that they left will also have an imbalance. I'm not sure how to deal with this issue.
They could just send their excess men to the disputed border where they can just hit each other with sticks.
That is the traditional solution, the alternative being insurrection. Sitting governments, for obvious reasons, generally choose your option.
Starship troopers has a line in it that the crusades were created by population pressure (primarily young men being denied a good chance at a future).
