Sex ratio is used to describe the ratio of females to males in a population. The sex ratio in Pakistan is generally male-skewed, with more males than females recorded in national population statistics. This imbalance is influenced by cultural preferences, healthcare access, and gender-based social practices. Urban centers often report higher sex ratios due to male migration for employment. In contrast, some rural areas may show a more balanced ratio due to differing social dynamics. Monitoring sex ratio trends is crucial for addressing gender disparities and ensuring equitable resource distribution.
