Abstract

Conflicts between ethnic groups can threaten group survival and exacerbate son preference in conformity with the traditional role of men as group defenders. We study the impact of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region on the subnational variation of sex ratios among children in Armenia that has one of the world’s highest sex ratios at birth. Difference-in-differences analysis shows that communities closer to the conflict region have higher sex ratio among children relative to the communities farther away. The findings from household surveys show that fear of war is associated with a stronger son preference at the individual level.
冲突在性别歧视中的作用——以失踪女孩为例
族群之间的冲突可能威胁到族群的生存,并加剧重男轻女的倾向,这与男性作为族群维护者的传统角色是一致的。我们研究了纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫地区的亚美尼亚-阿塞拜疆冲突对亚美尼亚儿童性别比的次国家变化的影响,亚美尼亚是世界上出生性别比最高的国家之一。差异中的差异分析表明,距离冲突地区较近的社区的儿童性别比例高于远离冲突地区的社区。家庭调查的结果显示,在个人层面上,对战争的恐惧与更强烈的儿子偏好有关。
