Abstract:On the basis of reviewing existing studies, this paper discusses the overall existence of sex ratios at birth in rural and urban areas of China in the past thirty years. Data show that the gap in sex ratio at birth between rural and urban areas has been widening since the mid-1980s. The paper proposes a theoretical framework of multiple explanations of the differences of sex ratio at birth between the rural and the urban so as to identify factors that have influenced the rising gap. It will furthermore put forward counteractive measures to narrow the gap.
