gender ratio
Male-female balance
Gender ratio is the proportion of males to females in a population, typically expressed as the number of males per 100 females.
Demographers track gender ratios at birth, in specific age groups, and across entire populations.
Skewed ratios can indicate sex-selective practices, migration patterns, or differential mortality: China's gender ratio at birth reflects decades of son preference.
