Birth Ratios in China

Some statistics about birth ratios is china:

  • The current sex ratio in China is about 107 males for every 100 females.
  • The birth ratio is anywhere from 115:100 and upwards. Some anecdotal reports give local ratios as skewed at 4 boys born for every 1 girl.

Additional reading:

  • A USA Today article
  • And a peer reviewed article in the journal International Security (This article is extracted from a book that will be published later this year.)
  • UPDATE: An article published in the Deseret News.
