What is the main reason for high sex ratio in kerala

Hint: The ratio of males to females is known as the sex ratio. The ratio appears to be 1:1 in most animals that reproduce sexually. This trend is clarified by Fisher 's theory. However, for different reasons, many animals deviate, either regularly or indefinitely, from something approaching an equal sex ratio. Complete answer: According to the 2011 census, Kerala has a population of 3.34 Crores, a rise from 3.18 Crores in the 2001 census. The total population of Kerala for the 2011 census is 33,406,061 of which 16,027,412 are male and 17,378,649 are female. In 2001, the estimated population was 31,841,374 with 15,468,614 males and 16,372,760 females. Total population growth in this decade was 4.91 per cent, compared to 9.42 percent in the previous decade. The population of Kerala is 2.76 per cent of India in 2011. In 2001, the percentage stood at 3.10 per cent. Hence the sex ratio of Kerala is 1.084 against the national figure of 0.940. This implies that there are 1084 females per 1000 males. However, this data is not much reliable now as this dates way back to 2011. The updated ratio will be known after the next census in 2021. Kerala is also the most literate state in India with a literacy rate of 93.91% while the literacy rate of the country stands at a mere 74.04% according to the census of 2011. Note: Kerala registered the lowest growth rate of population in the last decade. The decadal growth rate of the State is about 4.90 %. Also, Kerala is the only Indian state wh...

Sex ratio at birth in Kerala saw the sharpest fall among major states in the last five years, according to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) report. The southern state’s sex ratio reduced to 951 in 2019-20 from 1,047 in 2015-16, NFHS data showed. This is despite the fact that Kerala had the highest overall sex ratio —1,121— among major states, up from 1,049 during NFHS-4. Only the Union territory (UT) of Lakshadweep had a higher overall sex ratio (1,187) among the 22 states and UTs covered by NFHS-5. Sex ratio in India is defined as the number of female births for every 1,000 male births. The ratio also worsened in Bihar (934 to 908), Goa (966 to 838), Himachal Pradesh (937 to 875), Maharashtra (924 to 913), Meghalaya (1,009 to 989), Nagaland (953 to 945) and Daman and Diu (983 to 817) in the same period. Among major states and UTs, sex ratio at birth improved in Karnataka(910 to 978),Andhra Pradesh (914to 934), West Bengal (960 in NFHS-4 to 973 in NFHS-5), Assam (929 to 964), Gujarat (906 to 955), Jammu & Kashmir (923 to 976). Sex ratio at birth is not affected by factors like infanticide and under-reporting of female births, and so, it is considered the most accurate indicator of prenatal sex selection. The ratio has an impact on the ‘doubling time’ as well as sex composition of a population. It affects the youth population (defined as 0-14 years in the report) the most since this age group is less subject to mortality and migration. All districts of Kera...

The Chinese fishing nets in Kochi, the financial capital of Kerala Today is the 60th year of the formation of Kerala. On this day known locally as ‘Kerala piravi’, it is only fitting that the state has ticked off another achievement — rural Kerala has been declared ‘open defecation free’ with toilets in every household. It is a shot in the arm for a state where large sections of the population reside in villages. It had been planned for some time that Kerala’s achievement with respect to the ‘Suchitva’ mission (the state nodal agency for sanitation) would be announced on the auspicious occasion of ‘Kerala piravi’ by chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. That union minister Narendra Singh Tomar, in charge of portfolios like rural development, drinking water and sanitation, was present at the event in Thiruvananthapuram today highlighted the close coordination between the state and the Centre with the aim of building toilets for every household in the country. While one can’t ignore the dereliction of successive governments in Kerala towards key jobs and infrastructure segments, the state nevertheless has been a pioneer in human development indicators worthy of comparisons with developed European countries. We take a look at some of those indicators here. High literate population Literacy is one paradigm that many know about the state. According to the 2011 census, Kerala’s literacy rate stands at 93.91%, a slight improvement of 3%+ in ten years. The high standards in education a...

Addressing a state-level 'Janjatiya Sammelan (tribal meet)' in Damoh in "We can learn a lot from our tribal brothers and sisters. In tribal communities, stress is laid on unity-based societies," he said. "There is no discrimination between men and women, and that is why the sex ratio in these communities was better than the general population," he added. As part of their lifestyle, tribals give the highest respect to nature, Kovind said. He said the lifestyle of tribals is simple where hard work is appreciated. To connect to the roots of humanity, people should adapt the values followed by tribals in their lifestyle, the President said. He also said that tribal communities are treasure troves of traditional knowledge. "I have been told that the Baiga tribe, which is one of the most backward tribes in Madhya Pradesh, has immense knowledge of traditional medicine and health care," he added.
