4. What is Sex Ratio?
• It is an index of male - female (im)balance in population.
• Sex ratio, in India, is defined as the number of females per
1000 males in the population. Internationally sex ratio is
defined as number of males per 100 females.
• At the Census 2001, sex ratio of population stood at 933
females per 1000 males a marginal increase from 927
recorded at the 1991 Census

5. Population of India (in millions)
Census Years Persons Males Females

1981 683 353 330
1991 846 439 407

Census thus reveals that the deficit of women has risen from about 3.5 million in
1901 to 35 million in 2001

7. Child Sex Ratio
• Decline in child ratio from 962 in 1981 to 914 in 2011 has somewhat activated to
political, legal and administrative set up of the country. However the Census
findings should now be converted into a tangible action plan to help the cause of
the girl child.

8. • Child sex ratio, i.e., sex ratio in the age group 0 to 6 years is a powerful indicator to examine
the SOCIAL RESPONSE and ATTITUDE towards the GIRL CHILD in recent past.
• The presentation of data on child sex ratio has shown a grim picture of the status of girl child
in some parts of the country as per the Census of India 2011.

9. In Result
One thing is clear - the imbalance that has set at the early age - group is
difficult to be removed and would remain to haunt the population for a
long time to come.
To say the least, demographically the sex ratio of 927 of the population in
the age-group 0 - 6 does not augur well for the future of the country
specially girl child.
