Natural birth ratio of girls & boys,but changed due to traditional consideration...!

Sex determination tests are illegal in India, but many parents -especially in rural areas still bribe to the doctors to check out their child's gender and to carry out an abortion if it is a girl. In India boys would be as a mainilly traditionally known as the bread-winer of the family. whereas girls mainly are considered a financial burden because their families must pay dowries to get the married.

As a result, the natural birth ratio of boys to girls – about 105 to 100. But in China and northern India, the ratio is now about 120 to 100. In some Chinese provinces the ratio is 130 to 100. In some places, the ratio for a third child has reached an incredible 200 to 100.

In China, the main problem seems to be the one child policy. Parents can only have one child, so many are very motivated to make that child a son. The quickest way to solve this would be to drop the policy. Also, the one child policy will cause economic problems later on, as China will have a large old population and a small young population. Thus, dropping the policy would be best.

I read an article in "The Economist" where whole issue of Gendercide discussed nicely & factfully.All the facts mentioned in that article were shows that if Indian & China's common people & government would not any fast & strict action the situation could be a worsen in the future .

“All countries need to raise the value of girls. They should encourage female education; abolish laws and customs that prevent daughters inheriting property; make examples of hospitals and clinics with impossible sex ratios; get women engaged in public life—using everything from television newsreaders to women traffic police.”

Toll of shame

50m: number of girls that Unicef estimates are ‘missing’ from Indian society

1.05: males to every female in India, reversing the world average

600: rupees now, save 50,000 rupees later” is the advertising slogan of diagnostic teams with ultrasound machines that predict the sex of the unborn child

£18,000: can be the price of a wedding and dowry. Girls are killed because of the financial burden they place on their families

9.6m: more boys aged between 0-14 than girls

1949: Year when Indian women were granted full suffrage

54: per cent turnout of women voters in 2004 election, 62 per cent among men

10m: number of female foetuses aborted since ultrasound scanning was first used 20 years ago

1994: Year when scanning to find out gender was made illegal. It is widely ignored

0: the number of cases that have come to court

24.9 median age for men and women

In my view there are some ways of balancing this sex ratio by:

1)To educate the population

2)To give more & more opportunity to the girls in every field

3)In rural areas, provide the jobs of services sector

4)Change in the thought process who are be bind by traditional views.

5) Campaign in every society for the value of the girl child.
