出生性别比失衡的影响因素分析——基于湖北省人口普查数据的实证研究

Study on Effective Factors of High Sex Ratio at Birth——Based on Census Data in Hubei Province

传统重男轻女文化的确是导致出生性别比的偏高的一个因素,但其不是根源,根源是落后的经济基础。落后的经济基础与传统重男轻女文化等因素共同导致了出生性别比的偏高。基于湖北省人口普查数据,对出生性别比失衡的影响因素进行研究,结果发现导致湖北出生性别比的最重要因素是农业生产中女性比重,其次是人均GDP、城市化水平等。

The traditional patriarchal culture is indeed a factor,which leads to the high sex ratio at birth,but not the root, and the real root is backward economic base.Both the backward economic base and the traditional patriarchal culture result in the high sex ratio at birth.Based on 2000 census data in Hubei Province,the article studies that in the proportion of women of agricultural production is the most important factor which leads to the high sex ratio at birth,and the per capita GDP,the level of urbanization and so on also results in the high sex ratio at birth,whose effects are less stronger than that.
