There is a major decline in girls aged 0-6 in India. The population as a whole has been rising at a steady rate however, there are approximately 914 girls to every 1000 males. This trend can be correlated with mothers finding out that they are having girls. Because of the preference for sons, early detection has played a negative role for young female girls. The article states that in China, by the year 2020, there will be 5 males for every 1 female, this will be difficult for men when they are trying to find a spouse. What should India do? How can India reverse this negative steady decline of girls?
