Losing the female survival advantage
OBJECTIVE: To understand patterns of gender discrimination by exploring whether the risk of dying during infancy and childhood is correlated with not only the sex and birth order of the child but also the sex composition of previous siblings. METHODS: Event history analysis (Cox proportional hazards model) is applied to pooled data from the 2006–2007, 2012–2013, and 2017–2018 rounds of the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey to highlight patte…
Son preference and sex differentials in receipt of key dimensions of children's healthcare
Almost all research on son preference and the consequent sex differentials in child health has focused on India. Pakistan-a country with the second strongest stated desire for sons, no evidence of sex-selective abortion, and relatively high fertility-offers a different context in which to understand unequal health outcomes for boys and girls. I use three rounds of the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey to examine sex differentials in child he…
Women's Assessments of Gender Equality
Women's assessments of gender equality do not consistently match global indices of gender inequality. In surveys covering 150 countries, women in societies rated gender-unequal according to global metrics such as education, health, labor-force participation, and political representation did not consistently assess their lives as less in their control or less satisfying than men did. Women in these societies were as likely as women in index-equal …
The Second Demographic Transition Theory
References to the second demographic transition (SDT) have increased dramatically in the past two decades. The SDT predicts unilinear change toward very low fertility and a diversity of union and family types. The primary driver of these changes is a powerful, inevitable, and irreversible shift in attitudes and norms in the direction of greater individual freedom and self-actualization. First, we describe the origin of this framework and its evol…
In the Pursuit of Sons
Even though Pakistan is a highly patriarchal society, it has not featured prominently in studies focusing on sex-selective abortion and sex ratios at birth. But with fertility declining and existing strong son preference-Pakistan has one of the highest desired sex ratios in the world-how will Pakistani families respond? In the pursuit of sons, will they have additional children or resort to sex-selective abortions? Or is there evidence that the p…
