[amp_mcq option1=”940 female per 1000 male” option2=”950 female per 1000 male” option3=”960 female per 1000 male” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a) 940 female per 1000 male.<\/p>\n
The sex ratio in India as per 2011 Census is 940 females per 1000 males. This means that for every 1000 males, there are 940 females in India. The sex ratio has been declining in India since the 1991 Census. This is due to a number of factors, including female infanticide, sex-selective abortion, and neglect of girl children.<\/p>\n
The sex ratio is an important indicator of the status of women in a society. A low sex ratio indicates that there are fewer women than men in a population. This can have a number of negative consequences, including a shortage of marriage partners for men, an increase in crime and violence against women, and a decrease in the overall productivity of the economy.<\/p>\n
The government of India has taken a number of measures to address the issue of declining sex ratio, including the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, which prohibits sex-selective abortion. However, these measures have not been successful in reversing the trend.<\/p>\n
The decline in sex ratio is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. It is important to raise awareness of the issue and to take steps to ensure that all girls are valued and have equal opportunities in life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
