How does sex ratio reveal the status of women in a country?
Answers
The sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population.
Sex ratio is a valuable source for finding the population of women in India and what is the ratio of women to that of men in India.
In the Population Census of 2011 it was revealed that the population ratio in India 2011 is 940 females per 1000 of males.
The Sex Ratio 2011 shows an upward trend from the census 2001 data. Census 2001 revealed that there were 933 females to that of 1000 males.
Since decades India has seen a decrease in the sex ratio 2011, but since the last two of the decades there has been in slight increase in the sex ratio. Since the last five decades the sex ratio has been moving around 930 of females to that of 1000 of males.
In short, if the sex ratio is 1:1, the country is prosperous as it has equal men and women. Some times, in some countries, the ratio of men:women is more, which shows a kind of inequality amongst the genders. The same can be the principle when the females are more than the males
