Q1-7. Directions: Read the passage given below and then answer the
questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted
for your attention. Pay careful attention.
A fundamental indicator of gender inequality in India, and arguably, one of the most
powerful, is a preference for sons so strong that it is manifested as limiting the birth
and survival of girls. The 2001 census data for India revealed a sharp decline in the
sex ratio for the population age 0-6, from 945 females in 1991 to 927 females per
1,000 males. The trend in the sex ratio of the under-seven population based on
National Family Health Survey data for the period 1992-93 to 2005-06 also provides
evidence of continued decline and shows that in 2005-06 the under-seven sex ratio
had fallen further to 918 females per 1,000 males.
The decline over time in the under-seven sex ratio can have one or more of mainly
three possible causes: a decrease in the sex ratio at birth through the use of
technologies that enable sex selection; an increase in the mortality of girl children
compared with the mortality of boy children, suggesting intensification of the already
documented discrimination against the girl child (Miller, 1981; Das Gupta, 1987;
Kishor, 1993); or a systematic undercount of female children, compared with male
children under the age of seven.
Even as the role, if any, of the last of these possible causes is debated, it is
commonly accepted that the other two causes, fueled by strong son preference and
the low status of women in many regions of India, play a substantial role in reducing
the under-seven sex ratio. Indeed, discrimination against the female child was
recognized not just by social scientists but also by policy makers long before the
1|Page
release of the 2001 Census. This is evident in various policy initiatives undertaken
earlier. For example, the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and
Prevention of Misuse) Act prohibiting the use of prenatal diagnostic techniques for
the purpose of prenatal sex determination was passed as early as 1994 in recognition
of the widespread use of ultrasound and related technologies
to eliminate unwanted female fetuses. Further, the National Population Policy of
2000 explicitly recognized the problem and suggested policy initiatives directed
toward ending discriminatory practices that adversely affect the health of the girl
child (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, 2000).
Since the pathways to a lower sex ratio of the population age 0-6 mainly involve a
low sex ratio at birth and/or excess female mortality after birth, this chapter
examines the levels of these and related indicators, including the sex ratio of live
births by whether the mother had an ultrasound test during pregnancy. The chapter
focuses on the sex ratio at birth, providing insight into how this ratio varies for all
births and last births. The overall sex ratio at birth can be directly affected by the use
of modern technologies that allow couples to have only children of a desired sex. In
addition, where strong couple-level gender preferences exist, couples are more likely
to stop having children only when their desired sex combination of children has been
achieved. This behavior will not affect the overall sex ratio at birth, but will affect the
sex ratios at birth of last births. For example, in societies with strong son preference,
last births are more likely to be male, and females are more likely to grow up in large
families. Thus, an examination of sex ratios of last births provides insight into the
pervasiveness of son preference.

undercount of female children.
