Poverty and Sex Ratio-Some Data and Speculations

Abstract

This note is concerned with the question: how are mortality differentials and the imbalance between the sexes [in India] related to poverty? In other words are the differences wider in poor families than in rich families? Two relationships are analysed: the first sex ratio variations across families with landholdings of different sizes and between agricultural labour and other rural households; the second between poverty defined by per capita consumption of families and the sex ratio.
