This book was released on 2000-05-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book, Dr Agnihotri provides an entirely fresh perspective on the perplexing puzzle of the low and declining proportion of women in the Indian population—927 to 1000—strikingly below the world average of 990 to 1000. The analytical backdrop of the study draws substantially from Amartya Sen`s entitlement framework, cooperative conflict model and capabilities approach to well being. Tracing out the contours of low and high FMR, the study identifies groups (scheduled castes), regions (north-western India) and economic/cultural factors (female work force participation/kinship) that particularly put the girl child at risk as also maps underdeveloped regions which are characterised by high male infant mortality.

Book excerpt: Despite century old concern and debate child sex ratio patterns have shown an alarming increase over the last two decades, more so during 1991 to 2001. The pattern of increase in child sex ratio though erratic up to the first half of the last century, shows consistent rise at least since 1961. As these groups are the 'feeder source' of adult population in future, such trend if unchecked, 'will continue to haunt the society in decades to come' until and unless corrective measures are taken. Growing child masculinity in contemporary India and its regional penetration forced the policy makers and demographers to recognize the reality of human interferences behind the recent increase in child sex ratios. Out of the different types of interferences, most talked about is the 'sex selective abortion' that gained currency during 1980s and more so in the 90s. However the practice of sex selective abortion of unwanted foetus is still more pronounced in the north and north western1 part of the country more so in some relatively prosperous areas or among the prosperous households. Employing spatial interpolation technique (say, kriging), the present paper tries to analyze the geographical structure of child sex ratio and its changing pattern over time. The analysis indicates, far from being random, the child sex ratios in India seem to be continuous over space showing robust clustering of high masculinity in child population on one hand and its systematic (spatial) increase on the other. The spread as well as intensity of growing masculinity in child population clearly endorses that from a regional perspective the problem regarding excessive maleness in the population is rapidly being surfaced as a national problem needs to tackle with greater resources. Such spatial patterning of child sex ratios clearly hints that diffusion of sex selection might be well entrenched in Indian population with sufficient degree of regional diversity. The study endorses the importance of contextual policy and advocacy measures to arrest the increasing trend of masculinity as it will affect population dynamics not only in the regional or national context but also in the broader spectrum of international arena. This should be a matter of concern for policy makers, researchers and activists alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This volume documents how families, communities and some groups (single men, young ‘scarce’ women, parents) adapt and adjust to recent demographic shifts in China and India. It discusses how demographic change interacts with other processes of change, including changes with respect to economic development and globalization, gender, class, caste, families, migration and work. The chapters offer micro-level analyses contextualized in larger processes of change and push further existing understandings of the consequences of the demographic imbalance between men and women in China and/or India, particularly from a gender perspective. As such this book will be of interest to scholars and students in population studies, sociology, international development, gender studies, and Asian studies.

This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: -, Doon University, language: English, abstract: Evidences show that many states in our country have shown wide variations in the gender balance. Throughout its long history, India experiences wide variety of cultures and traditions. However, it is unfortunate that this transitional phase led to creation of a culture where women are treated inferior to men. Also, it has been seen that the ideology and perception further differs on the basis of geographical areas too. On one hand, in a matriarchal society under southern parts, women are treated as leaders and natural heirs whereas on the other hand in northern parts they are not even allowed to born. It is also noticed that states differ in sex ratio on the basis of literacy as well. In this context, the present study aims to analyze the trends and their determinants of the skewed distribution among the states and the union territories of the country.
