The city's child sex ratio reached an all time high in 2015, with 933 girls born per 1,000 boys, significantly ahead of the national average of 918. But several wards of the city bucked the progressive trend to register a worrying gap.

As per recently released BMC data, 11of 24 wards registered a dip in the ratio, indicative of a strong bias towards the male child, compared with 2014. Cutting across socio-economic classes, the skewed ratio is visible right from the posh neighbourhoods of Colaba, Nariman Point and Fort to the slum pockets of Govandi, Mankhurd and Bandra (East). It includes even the prosperous belts of Borivli and Magathane.

Despite dwindling childbirths due to a demographic shift over the years, the sex ratio in the island city (943) is better than the western (932) and eastern suburbs (927).
