What could be the reasons for such (sex ratio) variations?
The reasons for such (sex ratio) variations due to:
→ Society structure: Indian society is male dominant society. The people here have remained in favour of a male child leading to female foeticide and dowry problems which make people think of female children as a burden.
→ Illiteracy: India's literacy level is very low. They don't have proper education and discriminate between male and female children. In states like Kerala there are well-educated people who also follow matriarchal society rules and sex ratio in Kerala is 1058 females per 1000 males.
