摘要
中国出生性别比自1980年代开始偏高且持续升高,这是多因素综合作用的结果。男孩偏好的传统文化和社会经济现状是基础,便捷安全的胎儿性别鉴定和性别选择技术是手段,少生孩子是动因。计划生育政策是促使少生孩子的重要因素,但不是唯一的途径。计划生育政策与出生性别比偏高并非直接的因果关系。
A combination of several factors explain the rising sex ratio at birth in China over the past two decades. While the culture of son preference and socio-economic development are the root cause, declining fertility reinforces the practice of sex selection through using techniques for sex identification and abortion. China's family planning policy is one of the factors, but not the only factor, contributing to fertility decline. No evidence is available to suggest that there is a casual relationship between the family planning policy and abnormal high sex ratio at birth in China.
