摘要

在东亚和南亚的大部分地区,“失踪女孩”比例明显不可阻挡地上升,这引起了研究人员和决策者的广泛关注。韩国的情况显示了一个令人鼓舞的趋势,韩国的儿童性别比率是亚洲最高的,但在20世纪90年代中期达到顶峰,此后趋于正常化。利用人口普查数据,我们研究了类似的趋势是否已经开始在该地区的两个人口大国——中国和印度显现出来。数据表明,这些国家的儿童性别比例正达到峰值,在许多次国家级地区,男性化趋势开始下降。这表明,只要继续大力减少重男轻女的现象,亚洲的“失踪女孩”现象就可以得到解决。

Is There an Incipient Turnaround in Asia's 'Missing Girls' Phenomenon?
The apparently inexorable rise in the proportion of"missing girls"in much of East and South Asia has attracted much attention amongst researchers and policy-makers. An encouraging trend was suggested by the case of South Korea, where child sex ratios were the highest in Asia but peaked in the mid-1990s and normalized thereafter. Using census data, we examine whether similar trends have begun to manifest themselves in the two large populous countries of this region, China and India. The data indicate that child sex ratios are peaking in these countries, and in many sub-national regions are beginning to trend towards less masculinization. This suggests that, with continuing vigorous efforts to reduce son preference, the"missing girls"phenomenon could be addressed in Asia.
