Sex ratio at birth declines in 10 states, says report -GS Mudur

-The Telegraph

Number of girls born per 1,000 boys improves by three points from an average 904 in 2017-19 to 907 in (the partly overlapping period of) 2018-20

India’s latest population sample registration survey has shown improvements in child mortality and the average sex ratio at birth.

But that ratio — a possible indicator of pre-natal sex determination and sex-selective abortions — has declined in 10 states, including Bengal.

The Union health ministry, releasing the SRS Statistical Report 2020, said the progressive reductions in the neonatal, infant and under-five mortality show that the country is moving towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets by 2030.

India’s average neonatal mortality (deaths within 30 days of birth) declined to 20 per 1,000 live births in 2020 from 22 in 2019 and 26 in 2014, the report says.
