Sex ratio
Sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1,000 males in the population. This information is an important social indicator, to measure the extent of equality between males and females in a society, at a given time.
There are several reasons for the unfavorable sex ratio in India. First, biologically more males are born than females. Second, males get preferential treatment in comparison to female. Third, female infanticide, which means girl children are killed just after birth.
