why has sexratio remained unfavourable to women?

The reasons that sex ratio has been unfavourable to women are;
  1. Literacy levels - The low literacy levels in India especially in rural areas is a major factor responsible for low female sex-ratio.
  2. Lack of awareness – The basic awareness that for any healthy society female population is equally essential as the male population is, lacks in our country and makes infant birthrates unfavourable to females.
  3. Female infanticide/foeticide – Females are generally considered as burden on parents and so are many times killed either before birth (female foeticide) or after birth (female infanticide).
 ​    4. Health conditions - Per capita calorie consumption for females is extremely low for all age groups. Many small and young girls suffer from malnutrition related diseases and die at an early age.

Women were always considered soft and uncapable of anything in the previous times.This notion has still remained in the society.This has also led to killing of the girl child, and many unfavourable conditions for women.To reduce such problems, the society itself tried discriminating women.This is why the se.x ratio gas remained unfavourable to women.We as the future citizens should try to change all this.

Hope this helpss!!!

Cheers!!^_^
