All of our charts can be embedded in any site. It presents this data in two cases: Lets first focus on the top row, which presents the data for India as a whole. Its part of the reason why women tend to live longer than men. Sex ratio at birth in India, its relation to birth order, sex of previous children and use of indigenous medicine. This data comes from the IHMEs. The reason for this skew in sex ratio has been previously challenged. Estrogen, on the other hand, acts as an effective regulator of this. Neuroscience, 342, 4-20. This means that in all countries, births are male-biased. For China the evidence is similar. Our World in Data is free and accessible for everyone. Red represents more women, blue more men than the world average of 0.81 males/females. Infanticide and the Value of Life. For the 1st children, the sex ratio is very close to what we would expect naturally: a ratio of around 105 boys per 100 girls. in 1994 as part of its Law on Maternal and Infant Health Care China introduced a ban of prenatal sex determination. 1 The proportion of women in technical roles will also nudge up, though it has tended to lag the overall proportion of women by . Sex ratio. We see that more than 80% are missing from China and India 68 and 45 million, respectively. Help us do this work by making a donation. Populations in Eastern Europe have some of the largest gaps in life expectancy between men and women: in Russia in 2021, for example, the life expectancy at birth for men was only around 64 years compared to around 75 years for women. This of course introduces uncertainty as to how good an analogue modern hunter-gatherers are to prehistoric societies. DataBank. Naeye, R. L., Burt, L. S., Wright, D. L., Blanc, W. A., & Tatter, D. (1971). South Koreaenacted a ban on prenatal sex identification in 1987/88. Population and Development Review, 13(1), 77-100. Misuse of prenatal diagnostic technology for sex-selected abortions and its consequences in India. There are some additional hypotheses as to why the sex ratio at birth is skewed in some countries. Lanham/New York/Oxford: University Press of America. Compare this to the right-hand side where we see the sex ratio when the child is the last. The percentage of female population is 50.52 percent compare to 49.48 percent male population. There are 162,826,299 or 162.83 million males and 166,238,618 or 166.24 million females in US. But we see a much more significant skew in the ratio for second or third-born children. Following the introduction of the ban, the sex ratio continued to increase reaching over 115 males per 100 female births in 1990 and maintaining a high ratio through the early 1990s. Townsel, C. D., Emmer, S. F., Campbell, W. A., & Hussain, N. (2017). An important driver which may link the increase in sex ratio with development and rising incomes is fertility rates. (2015). But why? We discuss the reasons for this discrimination here. Although boys are, on average, heavier than girls at birth, they are less physiologically mature at birth. a womens value may be increasingly lie in her role as a wife, daughter-in-law or mother. , respiratory infections, tetanus and diarrheal diseases. Country. Social Science & Medicine, 17(6), 321-333. In the paper the authors differentiate between karyotypically normal and karyotypically abnormal. Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 63(3), 245-252. This is the natural sex ratio reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Today and in the recent past this is particularly common across Asia and North Africa. Barcellos, S. H., Carvalho, L. S., & Lleras-Muney, A. Just like the charts above, causes which lie above the grey line are more common in boys. (2006). Missing women and bare branches: gender balance and conflict. In a 2005 paper she argued that a large proportion approximately 45%, around 75% in China, 20-50% in Egypt and western Asia, and under 20% in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal of the overrepresentation of men could be explained by the high rates of hepatitis B carriers in Asia.33 The rationale was that (1) hepatitis B carriers have an offspring sex ratio much more in favour of boys (1.5 boys per girl), and (2) that hepatitis B carrier rates were notably higher in Asian cultures than in the West. Jaitley, A. Human Biology, 1(1), 90. Social analysis of sex imbalance in India: before and after the implementation of the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act. Levittan, M. (2012). Apart from that, Cameroon and Turkey show similar . As can be seen, the marked upward trend observed for the general female population is mainly driven by the trend among married women. If our aim is to address the issue of a skewed sex ratio and female discrimination, an obvious question to ask is: will development fix the problem? Germany has 0.90 million more females than males . Today, and at several points historically, the sex ratio at birth in some countries is too skewed to be explained by biological differences alone. Jayachandran, S. (2017). The association between uneven sex ratios and violence: Evidence from 6 Asian countries. Fetal sex and preterm birth: are males at greater risk?. To calculate the probability of having 5 girls, we then do 0.476^5 = 0.0245 [or 2.45%]. Persistence to last grade of primary, male (% of cohort) Primary education, pupils. Why is this the case? It is often the case that richer, urban families have greater access to technologies which would allow for sex identification during pregnancy, and also a safer abortion. You have the permission to use, distribute, and reproduce these in any medium, provided the source and authors are credited. This means fewer boys survive the first few years of life. The data reached an all-time high of 1.060 Ratio in 1977 . Langer, W. L. (1974). At this point the sex ratio at birth was around 110 male per 100 female births as we see in the chart here. They also found large sex differences: infanticide rates were four times higher for girls than boys. But for several countries across Asia this looks like a major challenge: the data shows that many parents still strongly prefer a son. PNAS. Ramanamma, A., & Bambawale, U. GiefingKrll, C., Berger, P., Lepperdinger, G., & GrubeckLoebenstein, B. Hill & Walker (2007) looked at the demographic profiles, death rates and causes of death of recent hunter-gatherers: the Hiwi group of Venezuela. They did this using census and interviews gathered over a seven year period. Pediatrics, 48(6), 902-906. (2005). Ghosh, N., Chakrabarti, I., Chakraborty, M., & Biswas, R. (2013). A. How does the sex ratio change throughout adulthood? Lee, B. J. Prenatal sex selection: prenatal sex selection practices are those which are used to discriminate based on gender during a womans pregnancy. From birds to rodents; fish to mammals; we find evidence of infanticide across the animal kingdom. And in turn the gender ratio itself has an impact on society, demography, and the economy. For parents of fewer children with a strong son preference, a sex-selective abortion becomes therefore a much more important option. For instance, high sex ratios at birth in some Asian . Impact of fetal gender on the risk of preterm birth, a national cohort study. Evidence and implications for child health in India. The expected sex ratio at birth is around 105 males per 100 females. Impact of prenatal technologies on the sex ratio in India: an overview. From life expectancy to mental health; substance use to cancer rates; there are important differences in health outcomes between the sexes. in the next 10-15 weeks of pregnancy female mortality is higher, which increases the ratio in favor of males; male and female mortality is approximately equal around week 20; between weeks 28-35 of pregnancy, there is higher male mortality. Male to female ratio of Germany increased from 85.67 males per 100 females in 1950 to 97.75 males per 100 females in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 0.95%. In Germany, France, Spain and Italy most euorpean countries have a larger female then male . Remember again that this is the case when its not the last child i.e. Sawyer, C. C. (2012). (1983). Were they successful? Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(16), E2102-E2111. (2019) study highlight those with the strongest statistical evidence of this imbalance. This skewed ratio can only be explained from prenatal sex selection in favor of boys. International Migration Report 2017(ST/ESA/SER.A/403). But the stronger immune response of females comes with a cost. In his text Why do women live longer than men? my colleague Esteban takes a look at the evidence and explanations for why this is the case. Men within the social order are the fixed points, and women the moving points: when a daughter marries, she leaves the current family to join a new one. The Journal of Psychohistory, 1(3), 367. Boys are also at higher risk of infectious diseases such as syphilis, malaria, respiratory infections, tetanus and diarrheal diseases. This is more than the population of Mexico. Lung profile: sex differences in normal pregnancy. It may also be the case that a larger number of sons creates tension and conflict with regards to resource allocation. In the absence of selective abortion practices, births in a given population are typically male-biased the chances of having a boy are very slightly higher than having a girl. The description is composed by our digital data assistant. The odds that one is a boy is therefore 100% 22.7% = 77%. 100.4 (males per 100 females) in 2100. License : CC BY-4.0 American Economic Review, 98(5), 2259-73. Development, modernization, and son preference in fertility decisions. When citing this topic page, please also cite the underlying data sources. And globally in 2020 the share of women in the world was just under 50%. There are 41.50 million males and 42.40 million females in Germany. The sex differences in the causes of infant deaths were already documented almost a century ago: in an impressive paper published in 1929, Bawkin explores the mortality sex ratio of specific diseases from countries across the world.10, There are some causes HIV/AIDS, nutritional deficiencies, whooping cough, among others for which the mortality rates are higher in girls. 83.78. [see also: Sex ratio - at birth . It is evidence that parents are continuing to have children until they get a son. Acta Paediatrica, 95(10), 1239-1248. To calculate this, we need to calculate the probability that in having 5 children, we have five girls. Our World In Data is a project of the Global Change Data Lab, a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Number 1186433). Infanticide:infanticide(or infant homicide) is the intentional killing of infants. This can produceeconomic and social benefits to having a son rather than a daughter, including: Across several countries in Asia, and North Africa we see highly skewed sex ratios in favour of males. When the firstborn or the first- and second-born siblings were female then a boy was much more likely the 2nd or 3rd child. . Males have much higher amounts of testosterone which seem to inhibit two major parts of the immune system B and T-lymphocytes. Development can have opposing impacts on sex ratio: there is evidence that the son preference declines with education, but this often goes hand-in-hand with declining fertility rates and increased access to selective technologies (which can increase the sex ratio). Although the term is now often adopted as a synonym for female infanticide the killing of unwanted girls the gender specifics and drivers of infanticide depend on context and time in history.48, A number of researchers have studied the demographic, health and cultural profiles of prehistoric societies. Hughes, A. L. (1981). The data produced by third parties and made available by Our World in Data is subject to the license terms from the original third-party authors. Orzack, S. H., Stubblefield, J. W., Akmaev, V. R., Colls, P., Munn, S., Scholl, T., & Zuckerman, J. E. (2015). What these countries tend to have in common is a strong logic of patrilineality: the logic that productive assets move through the male line within the family.75 Although many other countries also have patrilineality to some degree, in countries with a strong preference for a son, researchers find this logic to be much more rigid. The sex ratio the share of the population that is female varies across the world. Explore Our DataBank. In the global average for adolescents and young adults we see the result of both the male-bias in birth ratios and the large impact of populous countries such as China and India with very skewed sex ratios: At age 15 and 20, males outnumber females by 106 to 100. Heckman and Killingsworth (1986) provide evidence of similar historical trends for the UK, Germany and Canada. This is adapted from theEconomic Survey 20185 and based on data from the DHS and National Family Health Surveys in India. Most countries have a sex ratio at birth which is around the expected range of 105 boys born for every 100 girls. The sex differences in the causes of infant deaths were already documented almost a century ago: in an impressive paper published in 1929, Bawkin explores the mortality sex ratio of specific diseases from countries across the world. For society more broadly, there are several hypotheses that it will also result in more crime, violence and disorder in communities. Differences in earnings between female and male workers, by educational attainment. this will have a knock-on impact on younger men: not only will they be impacted by a skewed sex ratio for their generation, but will also have a backlog of men from the previous generation in the marriage market; a significant number of men will have to forego marriage altogether; the poorest men will likely be most highly impacted by this its hypothesised that women will marry up in society, leaving the men with least resources disproportionately affected; one of the most common reasons for son preference is for family lineage (the passing down of the family name through males in the family) this will likely not occur in families where sons do not marry. In countries where there is strong son preference, mortality rates for girls are higher than would be expected: this can occur either through direct infanticide, but also through neglect and unequal treatment. 3 Labor force participation of women in the US, by marital status - Engemann & Owyang (2006) 4 The grey line here represents parity: a country which lies along this line has the same ratio at five years old as it does for birth. But how many are missing each year? The percentage of female population is 50.54% compare to 49.46% male population. As a result, researchers often focus on societies with as little external influence as possible, for example having no nutritional, health, sanitation or technology transfer. Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 71(3), 269-274. Results of the Chao et al. Bharadwaj, P., & Lakdawala, L. K. (2013). Santa Barbara, ABC-CLIO, 83-130. Selective discrimination against female children in rural Punjab, India. Journal of Development Economics, 103, 216-228. Overall we see that despite higher child mortality in boys, the sex ratio at age five in the majority of countries is over 100: this means boys still outnumber girls in childhood. Although the term is now often adopted as a synonym for female infanticide the killing of unwanted girls the gender specifics and drivers of infanticide depend on context and time in history. 6175. Early Human Development, 87(11), 759-761. Hintz, S. R., Kendrick, D. E., Vohr, B. R., Poole, W. K., Higgins, R. D., & Nichd Neonatal Research Network. Many countries across Asia in particular have similar findings. The survey was actually posed to mothers and fathers of what they would want for their own children (who were all in secondary school at the time of the of survey). In a recent study Chao et. Many researchers have tried to calculate the number of missing women. Whats striking is that with exception of two countries India and Tonga child mortality is more common for boys in all countries of the world. From comparison of mortality rates in infant boys and girls, it becomes clear that boys are at higher risk of complications in the first few days of life: preterm births, asphyxia, birth defects and heart anomalies. While infant mortality rates are approximately the same, the child mortality rate for girls is higher. Modern hunter-gatherer societies may have some contact and transfer with external influence. Parents whose 1st child is a son are much more likely to stop having children. Sex ratios the ratio of males and females at birth is male-biased across every country in the world; in our section on this, we explain why biologically wed expect this to be the case. (2013). This is consistent across the birth order: whether its the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th child, a family is much more likely to stop having children when they have a boy. The banning of sex determination scanning and gender-selective abortion may have limited the increase in sex ratio at birth in some countries, but did not fully address the problem. One of the leading hypotheses was put forward by economist Emily Oster. In rare cases they can use indirect evidence of the fossil record; but many rely on modern hunter-gatherer societies today.49, Estimates for infanticide in prehistoric societies are very high. Million Death Study Collaborators. The fact that preterm births are more common for boys contributes to this. After the 1970s sex-selective abortions (shown as missing births) became more common. One of the three conditions for sex-selection is the ability to act upon gender practices through access to technology. Child mortality estimation: estimating sex differences in childhood mortality since the 1970s. Trends in Immunology, 35(3), 97-104. Licenses: All visualizations, data, and articles produced by Our World in Data are open access under the Creative Commons BY license. Man the Hunter. (1983). The same was found by Hgglund and Lrz (Citation 2020), analysing the female underrepresentation in STEM majors in Germany (cf. Female infanticide in Tamil Nadu: some evidence. In the two charts here we see two perspectives: firstly a global map of the sex ratio at five years old. In other words this shows us that when a girl is born, parents are more likely to have another child. Modern borders. In this chart we see global mortality rates in infants across different causes in 2017. (2003). Germany - Male to female ratio of the total population. Why is son preference so persistent in East and South Asia? The mania for sons: an analysis of social values in South Asia. Missing Girls or Hidden Girls? This data is shown for children aged 1-4 years old in 2017. Pryzgoda, J., & Chrisler, J. C. (2000). Definitions of gender and sex: The subtleties of meaning. For third-born children, the ratio was 158 boys per 100 girls, suggesting a high prevalence of sex selection abortions. The X chromosome in immune functions: when a chromosome makes the difference. But why are boys more susceptible to infection? Mann & DiPrete, Citation 2013, for the US). All Countries and Economies. Here we see a very steep rise in the sex ratio of third-, fourth- and later children through the 1980s. Sex ratio at . Infanticide and neonaticide: a review of 40 years of research literature on incidence and causes. NY: Prometheus Books. This is a list of sex ratios by country or region. A figure of 110 would indicate that there are 110 male births for every 100 female births. Over time, prenatal discrimination has increased as both abortions and sex determination technologies have become more readily available. Bakwin, H. (1929). Sex-selective abortions and discrimination against girlsAfter the hepatitis B hypothesis was debunked, no clear evidence of a biological factor in such skewed sex ratios has emerged. Routledge. Development also affects condition (2): the ability to act upon gender preference. In the chart below we see the comparison of child mortality by sex. Fischer, J., Jung, N., Robinson, N., & Lehmann, C. (2015). al (2019) re-modelled sex ratios at birth (SRB) across the world based on a range of population sources, including census and household survey data.30 The results are shown in the chart below since 1950. As we explore in the next section of this entry: across most countries infant and child mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls. But why does this preference exist? Female infanticide: Sex ratio manipulation in humans. In studying 86 hunter-gatherer bands across North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia, researchers found high levels of female infanticide across 77 of them.53. 25-54 years: 1.01 male(s)/female 55-64 years: 1 male(s)/female 65 years and over: 0.79 male(s)/female total population: 0.96 male(s)/female (2020 est.) Population and Development Review, 41(2), 241-269. This is what the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates asthe expected sex ratio at birth: in the absence of gender discrimination or interference wed expect there to be around 105 boys born per 100 girls, although this can range from around 103 to 107 boys per 100 girls. You have permission to use, distribute, and reproduce these in any medium, provided the source and authors are credited. Are richer and more educated parents less likely to have gender preference? This is not restricted to childhood: the female advantage carries into adulthood. Sex ratio by country for population aged below 15. Demography, 53(5), 1261-1281. PLoS Medicine, 9(8), e1001287. (2017). In a study of 67,000 people in China 15% of which were hepatitis B carriers Oster and colleagues found no link between hepatitis B status and offspring sex ratio.34 The hepatitis carrier status of neither the mother or the father had an effect on the offspring sex: carriers were not more likely to have a boy than non-carriers. In the map we see the differences in sex ratio at birth across the world. Cecilia Laiwan, C., Eric, B., & Celia Hoiyan, C. (2006). In countries where there is a clear imbalance in sex ratio, theres preference for a boy. In a related post, my colleague Esteban Ortiz-Ospina looks at the evidence to answer the question Why do women live longer than men?. Strong preference for sons has led to an increasing number of missing women and therefore an excess of males. In Population Association of America meeting, Washington DC. Gendered effects of siblings on child malnutrition in South Asia: cross-sectional analysis of demographic and health surveys from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. But there are some leading hypotheses: surfactant production for lung function has been observed earlier in female fetuses, leading to improved airway flow in the lungs; estrogen has been shown to affect lung development positively in females; males, on average, have a higher birthweight meaning they may trade-off increased size for functional development; and the uterus may be less hospitable to male fetuses the introduction of a Y chromosome in females can create an immunoreactive response to the central nervous system. The rationale being that not only will there be an excess of men who do not marry and have their own family, but that the most affected will be those of lowest socioeconomic status, the most uneducated and with fewer opportunities. The China Quarterly,228, 1018-1038. Pediatric Research, 71(3), 305. You can also view the data for China, by using the change country button in the top-left of the chart. SeXX matters in immunity. Because the natural sex ratio at birth is around 105 boys per 100 girls, the probability of having a girl at each birth is slightly lower than half: its around 47.6%. (2011). For births to be consistently male-biased, there must be gender differences in the probability of miscarriage through pregnancy. Countries over 50 percent (shown in blue) have more females than males; those below 50 percent (shown in red) have fewer females. In 2021, there were around 41,100 males and 42,200 females in Germany. Hausfater, G., & Hrdy, S. B. For most countries, there are around 105 males per 100 female births. Richard Price, DDFRS in a letter to Charles Blagden, MD Sec. A ratio below 1, for example 0.8, means there are more females than males (0.8 males for every female). Even today, cases on infanticide still exist, despite being outlawed in most countries. This is shown in the table, where there were many more young males than females in bands where infanticide was reported as common or occasional. CMAJ, 183(12), 1374-1377. This imbalance in the male and female population can in some cases be traced back to birth: in some countries the number of boys and girls born each year is significantly skewed. But there are some leading hypotheses: surfactant production for lung function has been observed earlier in female fetuses, leading to improved airway flow in the lungs; estrogen has been shown to affect lung development positively in females; males, on average, have a higher birthweight meaning they may trade-off increased size for functional development; and the uterus may be less hospitable to male fetuses the introduction of a Y chromosome in females can create an immunoreactive response to the central nervous system.2223. The table's data is from The World Factbook unless noted otherwise. Economic Survey 2017-18: Volume I, Chapter 7: Gender and Son Meta-Preference: Is Development Itself an Antidote? Boys tend to have a higher birthweight than girls which can increase the risk of waiting to term to deliver meaning that more boys are induced before the end of the pregnancy term.15The chart above shows that more boys die from preterm births. Human Reproduction, 17(10), 2762-2768. For the observed sex ratio, there is the concern of how accurate the reported number of births, males and females are. Germany DE: Sex Ratio at Birth: Male Births per Female Births data was reported at 1.055 Ratio in Dec 2020. In nearly every country, boys are more likely to die in childhood than girls. The number of people ages 65 and older in the United States has increased steadily during the past century, and growth has accelerated since 2011, when baby boomers first started to turn 65 (see Figure 1).
