Detailed Solution

The definition of the sex ratio is the number of females per 1000 males.
The population's sex ratio is calculated as the number of females per every 1000 males. This data is a crucial social indicator for determining the degree of equality between men and women in a culture at a certain moment. The country's gender ratio has traditionally been unfavourable to women. Less attention is given to female offspring, women are more likely to die, especially during childbirth, women are also killed or made to die by dowry seekers, there are not enough medical facilities for women, etc. These factors contribute to India's negative sex ratio.
