There are missing women even in Australia and Canada - son preference is cultural.

"mothers within some key migrant communities are recording sons at rates of 122 and 125 for every 100 daughters in later pregnancies."

The solution is for migrant-receiving countries (ie. the West) to place a limit of 49% males from any one country on any type of visa. This will dramatically boost the intake of females (for some visas and countries eg. India, the intake is 75% male) and thus their value to society in their home country.

Alternatively male migration could just be banned altogether from countries which practice systematic sex-selective abortion.
