This book was released on 2000-05-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book, Dr Agnihotri provides an entirely fresh perspective on the perplexing puzzle of the low and declining proportion of women in the Indian population—927 to 1000—strikingly below the world average of 990 to 1000. The analytical backdrop of the study draws substantially from Amartya Sen`s entitlement framework, cooperative conflict model and capabilities approach to well being. Tracing out the contours of low and high FMR, the study identifies groups (scheduled castes), regions (north-western India) and economic/cultural factors (female work force participation/kinship) that particularly put the girl child at risk as also maps underdeveloped regions which are characterised by high male infant mortality.

Book excerpt: This unique and groundbreaking book seeks to re-focus gender debate onto the issue of daughter discrimination - a phenomenon still hidden and unacknowledged across the world. It asks the controversial question of why millions of girls do not appear to be surviving to adulthood in contemporary Asia. In the first major study available of this emotive and sensitive issue, Elisabeth Croll investigates the extent of discrimination against female children in Asia and shifts the focus of attention firmly from son-preference to daughter-discrimination. This book brings together demographic data and anthropological field studies to reveal the multiple ways in which girls are disadvantaged, from excessive child mortality to the withholding of health care and education on the basis of gender. Focusing especially on China and India, the book reveals the surprising coincidence of increasing daughter discrimination with rising economic development, declining fertility and the generally improved status of women in East and South Asia. Essential reading for all those interested in gender in contemporary society.

This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian sex ratio has shown a secular decline since beginning of the 20th century, with exceptional improvements during 1951, 1981 and 2001.The female sex ratio is continuously decreasing from 1961 (941 per 1000 male) and now in 2011 it is 940 per 1000 males. Similarly, the child sex ratio (0-6 age) decreased from 976 to 914 per 1000. The child sex ratio in Rajasthan is declining from the last three decades; it was 915 and 910 in 1991, and 2001, respectively. At present in 2011 it is 883 per 1000 boys (0-6 year). The study is an attempt to understand the socio-cultural factors of the female foeticide or decline sex ratio. The purpose of the study was to identify status of the girl child in Indian society; it is an assessment of the knowledge, awareness and practices of the community which are responsible for the decline sex ratio in India. Rajasthan, the desert state of India, was selected for the study. It is a cross-sectional study (rural and urban) and determined factors for female foeticide. Total 329 respondents from different categories-.Married Women, Abortion Users, Married Male and Unmarried Girls, were selected for the study.

This book was released on 2001-06-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.

Book excerpt: The essays in this book examine the sociological, legal, cultural and economic implications of dowry. The connection between dowry or bridewealth norms and the status of women, inheritance and its impact on women's empowerment are discussed from the multiple perspectives adopted by different feminist scholars. Feminist interventions have dealt with slippery definitions, concepts in legal formulations and theoretical questions regarding the volition and agency of women in a patriarchal structure. The essays examine the activist position vis-Ã -vis dowry and inheritance: should dowry be boycotted in toto, or only its excesses? Is dowry a form of inheritance? Legal intervention is often seen as the most concrete means to address issues of equity, but the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1984 leaves room for manoeuvre: dowry as a condition of marriage is punishable, but voluntary gifts are excluded from the ambit of the law. More recently, legislative intervention has sought to grant equal inheritance rights to women. Will these developments make for greater gender equity? This book brings together intellectually stimulating analysis and radical activism, in a cogent and comprehensive assessment of an issue and a practice that has preoccupied Indian feminists for the past three decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preponderance of males over females in the population of India has been a subject of concern and controversy since the late eighteenth century. This book addresses the fact of, and the reasons for, unbalanced sex ratios among children in present-day rural India and considers some of the cultural links between the present and the past. Barbara Miller examines sex ratios throughout the world to explore how culture affects these ratios, specially among juveniles, and then focuses on India to demonstrate how the practice of female infanticide has altered the proportions of the sexes. A regional and social pattern of infanticide is then uncovered to show that this practice is most prevalent in north-west India and among the higher castes there. The book illustrates the powerful relationship between culture and mortality. Culture often plays an important role in determining those targeted for death; in this case the target group is north Indian girls.
