The child sex ratio in India was ______ females per thousand males in 2011 census.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Child Sex Ratio is a significant demographic indicator in the 2011 Census of India.
The Child Sex Ratio represents the number of girls per 1,000 boys in the 0–6 age group.
According to the 2011 Census, this ratio had declined to 918.
It stood at 927 in 2001, thereby recording a decline.
Gender selection and social inequalities are considered to be the primary reasons for this decline.
To address this issue, the government launched campaigns such as 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter).
This indicator reflects the state of gender balance within society.
