Which of the following is NOT the correct reason for unfavorable sex ratio in a region.

Higher Socio-economic condition of women

The option that is NOT the correct reason for an unfavorable sex ratio in a region is: Higher Socio-economic condition of women.

Higher socioeconomic conditions of women typically lead to improved health care access, education, and empowerment, which are associated with better outcomes for female infants. Therefore, it is not a direct cause of an unfavorable sex ratio.

In regions where gender discrimination is rampant, the sex ratio is bound to be unfavourable to women. Such areas are those where the practice of female foeticide, female infanticide and domestic violence against women are prevalent. One of the reasons could be lower socio-economic status of women in these areas.
