Best answer

The sex ratio means “The number of females per 1,000 males in the popula-tion. According to the census of 2001, India has 933 females per 1,000 males in the population. Thus, the sex ratio is 933. 

The reasons for the low sex ratio in India are :

• The male child receives a preferential treatment while the female child is neglected. 

• Many women die at delivery time because of the lack of medical facilities. 

• There has been a steady rise in women’s suicide rate due to the social evils like dowry. 

• Abortion of female child is also a major reason for the low sex ratio in India.
