Field Listing :: Sex ratio
This entry includes the number of males for each female in five agegroups - at birth, under 15 years, 15-64 years, 65 years and over,and for the total population. Sex ratio at birth has recentlyemerged as an indicator of certain kinds of sex discrimination insome countries. For instance, high sex ratios at birth in some Asiancountries are now attributed to sex-selective abortion andinfanticide due to a strong preference for sons. This will affectfuture marriage patterns and fertility patterns. Eventually, itcould cause unrest among young adult males who are unable to findpartners.Country
