Question

Gender ratio in India is?

Answer 1

Hint:
 The gender ratio here is calculated based on the number of male births per 100 women; a value greater than 100 means that more boys than girls were born that year. A means that there are 110 boys out of every 100 girls.

Complete solution:
 Gender ratio: The sex ratio is used to describe the number of women per thousand men. In India, this ratio is particularly important because it is biased towards men. From 2011 to 2013, the census conducted through the Sample Registration System (SRS) showed that India’s sex ratio was 909 women/1000 men. Currently, it has sloped downwards since then, recording 900 women per 1,000 men between 2013 and 2015.

In addition, according to the survey conducted by SRS, Chhattisgarh has the highest sex ratio at 961, while Haryana has the lowest sex ratio at 831. Since the beginning of the 20th century, India’s gender bias has been obvious.

Increase. IN 1901, the number of women in India was less than that of men, at 3.2 million, but by the 2001 census, the gap had increased more than tenfold to 35 million. Various reasons for this increase are attributed to female infanticide, selective abortion (due to increased use of prenatal gender identification procedures), and neglect of girls. It has been suggested that the motivation for this choice against girls is due to women’s low status and usefulness in India’s patriarchal society.

Note:
The tradition of the Indian census is to provide disaggregated information on various aspects of the population by gender. The 2001 census showed that the first and most important component of gender statistics is that 532 million people (52%) are men, and 497 million people (the remaining 48%) are women.
