- This article builds upon the recognition that the declining child sex ratios are a result of an ongoing process of societal change. Looking at areas which have shown significant declines in child sex ratios between 1991 and 2001, the article draws on results from recently conducted field studies in rural areas of Karnataka in the South and of Uttaranchal in the North. Uttaranchal has shown an alarming decline in the child sex ratio from 948 in 1991 to 906 in 2001. Of special interest are results of case studies from Siddapur Taluk7, Uttara Kannada District, in the Western Ghats of Karnataka and from Pithoragarh Tehsil, Pithoragarh District, in the eastern part of Uttaranchal8. For both cases the outstanding feature is a very low child sex ratio. Two additional cases with high child sex ratios are used for comparative purposes.
