摘要

我们构建了从1881年到1931年南亚按年龄、地区和宗教划分的女性人口份额的新数据。印度北部的性别比例倾向于男性，而印度南部和东部（包括缅甸）的性别比例更为平衡。男性偏向性比例在10岁以后最为明显，这并不局限于任何一个地区、宗教或时期。锡克教徒的性别比例最偏向男性，其次是印度教徒、穆斯林和耆那教徒。女性所占比例在地区内不同宗教团体之间存在相关性。性别比例与小麦和水稻的适宜性相关的证据比现有文献所表明的要弱。

Missing women in colonial India

We construct novel data on female population shares by age, district, and religion in South Asia from 1881 to 1931. Sex ratios skew male in Northern India and are more balanced in Southern and Eastern India, including Burma. Male-biased sex ratios emerge most visibly after age 10, and this is not specific to any one region, religion, or time period. Sikhs have the most male-biased sex ratios, followed by Hindus, Muslims, and Jains. The female share correlates across religious groups within districts. Evidence that sex ratios correlate with suitability for wheat and rice is weaker than suggested by the existing literature.
