WHY IS SEX RATIO DECLINING IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR?
Asif Ahmad Naik, E. Selvarajan
Abstract :
Viewing from a social prospective, gender equality is a fundamental cornerstone for achieving development results. But the gender equality continues to remain a dream to the territory of Jammu and Kashmir where the child sex ratio (0 to 6 years) and overall sex ratio have declined sharply between 2001 and 2011. This widening gender gap between male and female reflects the poor state of welfare of women in Jammu and Kashmir. This shows a continuing preference for male children over females in the last decade and it is a matter of serious concern with severe socio economic, demographic and cultural implications. The present paper attempts to study the trends and patterns of child sex ratio, overall sex ratio, decadal growth rate and changes occurred in sex ratios over the years in Jammu and Kashmir. It examines the causes and effects for the declining sex ratio in Jammu and Kashmir
