摘要
文章的目的是要探讨中国出生婴儿性别比偏高的间接和直接原因。其定量分析使用国家计划生育委员会于1997年11月中旬组织的全国人口与生殖健康调查中第二期育龄妇女生殖健康调查数据。从理想的孩子性别看,城市存在选择女孩的现象,而农村存在明显的选择男孩的现象。分析发现,只有女孩的妇女再次怀孕的比例明显高于至少有一个男孩而再次怀孕妇女的比例;同时前者实行人工流产的比例要明显低于后者。以往所生孩子的数量和性别是惟一决定下一个孩子分孩次性别比升高的原因,它与年龄、民族、受教育状况和婚姻状况无关。中国的出生性别比偏高主要是由选择性人工流产导致的。
The objective of this research is to explore the causes of the high sex ratio at birth, including the direct and indirect causes. Apart from the research background, theoretical hypothesis, research review, data and methods, quantitative analysis, and conclusions were involved in this study. The data come from the 1997 National Population and Reproductive Health Survey. People favor girls in urban areas and boys in rural areas. It was found that the proportion of pregnant women who only have girls was higher than that of pregnant women who have at least one boy. The rate of induced abortion of the former was significantly higher than that of the latter. Current sex ratio at birth is only determined by the number and sex of the previous live children, and has nothing to do with age, ethnic group, education, and marriage status. The high sex ratio at birth in China is mainly caused by the sex-selective abortion.
