Answer 2

The major cause of the declining sex ratio is Poverty.

• Poverty contributes to a declining sex ratio in many societies.
• Parents in developing countries prefer to have a boy child rather than a girl.
• Poor parents think that a son can engage in manual labor and earn something for the family while a daughter will lead to the expenditure of money in the form of dowry for her marriage.
• That is why such people opt for female foeticide and this causes a decline in the sex ratio.
