[amp_mcq option1=”There are more females than males” option2=”There are more males than females” option3=”The male-female ratio is equal” option4=”Sex ratio data is unavailable for Sikkim” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: a) There are more females than males.<\/p>\n
A favorable sex ratio means that there are more females than males in a population. This is in contrast to an unfavorable sex ratio, where there are more males than females. A favorable sex ratio can be due to a number of factors, including cultural preferences for female children, better healthcare for girls, and lower rates of female infanticide.<\/p>\n
In Sikkim, the sex ratio is 972 females per 1000 males. This is higher than the national average of 940 females per 1000 males. The high sex ratio in Sikkim is likely due to a number of factors, including the state’s strong cultural emphasis on female education and empowerment, as well as its relatively low rates of poverty and gender-based violence.<\/p>\n
