What is the ratio of male to female in India?

The ratio of male to female in India is 1000 1020. According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 25th, the latest national family health survey released by the Indian Ministry of Health shows that the ratio of male to female in India is 1 1,000 1 0,020, which is the first time that Indian women have surpassed men.

The survey covered about 600,000 families in India. Experts from the Indian Population Fund said that this data reflects the positive improvement of the sex ratio of the population, but India still has a lot of work to do in the field of gender equality.

Data on gender imbalance

Experts pointed out that there are many and complicated factors that affect the imbalance of sex ratio of newborn babies, such as birth policy, birth will, omission and concealment of baby girls. It is mainly the result of missing baby girls, and coupled with the family planning policy, the sex ratio at birth has increased obviously.

A large number of statistics show that the sex ratio of babies born in all countries of the world is basically the same, and it is generally within the range of 102 to 107, that is, the number of boys born is 107 for every 107 girl. Demographers call this index a constant value of the sex ratio at birth.

In a country with a relatively small population base, the problem of insufficient population of men and women can be solved through transnational marriage and migration of men and women, but for the general public, transnational marriage is still unrealistic. Imbalance will bring serious obstacles to population reproduction and cause serious population shrinkage.
