西部地区农村出生人口性别比失衡的原因与对策——基于贵州省长顺县马路乡出生人口的调查分析

A Study on the Causes and Countermeasures of Imbalanced Sex Ratio at Birth in the Western Rural Areas of China——Based on an Investigation in Malu Township of Changshun County,Guizhou Province

当前西部地区农村B超仪器的普及与管理不善,出现了人工选择胎儿性别的现象。加上重男轻女观念在农村根深蒂固,农业生产方式对男性劳动力的需求、对养老的需求形成了男孩偏好,形成了性别歧视的意识形态,从而造成出生人口性别比严重失衡的问题。解决性别比失衡问题需要职能部门的高度重视、多部门统筹协调并综合运用经济社会政策来齐抓共管。

Artificial selection of fetal sex has emerged in recent years due to popularization of b-ultrasound and poor management in western rural areas, where there still exist many problems such as the traditional bad customs of regarding men as superior to women, male-labor demand for agricultural production mode, son preference and sexism. These problems have ensued serious imbalance of sex ratio at birth. The solution to the serious imbalance needs high attention of the related functional departments, overall coordination of many departments and co-management of social and economic policy.
