GENDER COMPOSITION (SEX RATIO)
PROVISIONAL POPULATION TOTALS 139
5.1 SEX RATIOPopulation enumeration in terms of gender composition is a key indicator to monitor
the development pulse of a country. Sex ratio is defined as the number of females per
thousand males in a population. In developing countries such as India, sex ratio is
generally skewed in favour of the males. The prevailing patriarchal society creates a gender
imbalance by viewing the male as an asset and the female as a liability for the family.
The sex ratio for the country has improved from 933 females per thousand males in 2001
to 940 in 2011; with the urban areas recording a higher absolute increase in comparison to
that reported from the rural areas. Similarly, Madhya Pradesh has charted an increase in the
overall sex ratio from 919 in 2001 to 930 in 2011 where a greater positive change in sex ratio is
observed in the urban areas as compared to its rural counterparts.
When sex ratio is calculated for children aged six years or less then such a proportion is termed
as the child sex ratio. The child sex ratio for the country has witnessed a sharp decline from
927 in 2001 to 914 in 2011; with the current figures being the lowest since independence.
Among others the major reasons for such a poor ratio can be outlined as sex selective abortion,
infanticide and cultural preference for a particular sex which are responsible for precipitating
such an imbalance in the natural ratio. The state has registered a child sex ratio of an abysmal
low 912 females per thousand males with the rural area reporting a ratio of 917 and the urban
area has recorded a figure of 895.
This chapter focuses on the status of sex ratio by rural-urban classification at the national,
state, district and tahsil level which reveals the prevailing disparity observed among these
areas which is pivotal in identifying the priority areas for programme implementation.
5.2 SEX RATIO OF INDIAAs per provisional results of Census 2011, total population of India is 1,210,193,422 which
comprises of 623,724,248 males and 586,469,174 females resulting in a sex ratio of 940 females
per 1000 males. In terms of total sex ratio, there has been a decrease of 32 points from 1901
to 2011 with the maximum sex ratio figure of 972 being recorded in 1901.
The rural population of the country stands at 833,087,662 which is classified into 427,917,052
males and 405,170,610 females, resulting in a sex ratio of 947 in 2011. Rural sex ratio has
witnessed a decline of 32 points from 1901 to 2011 with the maximum figure of 979 being
recorded in 1901.
