The
theory of sex ratios aims to explain how Natural Selection has shaped the
ratios of males to females that we see in nature. Like most sexual
species, the sex ratio is approximately 1:1. In humans the secondary sex ratio
(i.e., at birth) is commonly assumed to be 105 boys to 100 girls,
an assumption that is a subject of debate in the scientific community. The sex
ratio for the entire world population is 101 males to 100 females. It
Causes gender Imbalance, i.e. disparity between male and females in a
population, that’s big social problem.
It affected by
Fisher’s Principle.

5 reasons why we needn’t
panic over falling child-sex ratio
1. First, it doesn’t work. The government has legislated draconian laws to
prevent sex determination tests, but they still happen.
2 Second, there is something bizarre in
a situation where abortion is legal, but sex-determination is not.
3. Third, activist intervention by do-gooders in causes that seem justified
today may work out to be downright stupid at a later date
4. Fourth, value comes from scarcity. When women are undervalued by society,
the only way to increase their value (apart from education and jobs) is to make
them relatively scarce.
5. Fifth, when an environment turns hostile, more males are produced in almost
all species. We see that happening among humans, too.
