&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;NFHS counts only certain women, who belong to specific demographic categories. There is a bias in it, say experts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are 1,020 women per 1,000 men in India according to the recently released Fifth Edition of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5). Such a sex ratio has not been recorded in any of the previous four editions of the NFHS. But demography experts say it is not the time to rejoice yet as the figures do not give an accurate picture of India&amp;rsquo;s sex ratio.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The NFHS-5 report has itself advised caution. &amp;ldquo;Readers should be cautious while interpreting and comparing the trends as some states and Union territories may have smaller sample sizes,&amp;rdquo; it said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;NFHS-5 had gathered information from 636,699 households, 724,115 women and 101,839 men.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nand Lal Mishra, a research fellow at the International Institute of Population Sciences, Mumbai told Down To Earth that the overestimation of sex ratio (number of women per 1,000 men) in NFHS-5 was due to two major reasons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;First, the sex ratio mentioned in the factsheet was based on de facto enumeration, meaning the number of males and females who were present in the household on the last night of the survey.&lt;/p&gt;

NFHS-5: No, women don’t outnumber men in India just yet. Here is why -Vivek Mishra

-Down to Earth NFHS counts only certain women, who belong to specific demographic categories. There is a bias in it, say experts There are 1,020 women per 1,000 men in India according to the recently released Fifth Edition of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5). Such a sex ratio has not been recorded in any of the previous four editions of the NFHS. But demography experts say it is not the time to rejoice yet as the figures do not give an accurate picture of India’s sex ratio. The NFHS-5 report has itself advised caution. “Readers should be cautious while interpreting and comparing the trends as some states and Union territories may have smaller sample sizes,” it said. NFHS-5 had gathered information from 636,699 households, 724,115 women and 101,839 men. Nand Lal Mishra, a research fellow at the International Institute of Population Sciences, Mumbai told Down To Earth that the overestimation of sex ratio (number of women per 1,000 men) in NFHS-5 was due to two major reasons. First, the sex ratio mentioned in the factsheet was based on de facto enumeration, meaning the number of males and females who were present in the household on the last night of the survey.
