| Abstract | Sex ratio at birth (SRB) in China has begun to be higher since 1980's and kept rising singularly, it reached 116.9 in 2000. Incidence of prenatal sex determination and sex-selective abortion is the main reason of the high SRB. Female deficit of the 0-19 years old population has already reached 1981, and the total amount is apt to increase. It is sure to influence the marriage market. |
