Do stressful events affect pregnancy intentions? Evidence from a mild earthquake
The Estimation of the Number of Aborted Girls in South Korea
OBJECTIVE: Countries such as China and India are well known for their preference for sons. South Korea is another country with a long-standing preference for sons, with the sex ratio at birth (SRB) reaching as high as 116.5 in some years. Given that the normal SRB ranges from 105 to 107, a higher SRB suggests that some girls were likely aborted. This study estimates the number of girls aborted in the country. METHODS: Using an SRB of 106 as norma…
Auspicious years, the birth of girls, and their birth outcomes
Left-digit bias in self-reported height
Son preference and low birth weight for girls
While previous studies have confirmed the negative effects of son preference on the prenatal care received by girls, few have examined its effect on birth outcomes. This study contributes to the literature on son preference by examining this relationship. The degree of son preference is measured by the sex ratio at birth, and the data were obtained from the birth registry of South Korea, which has a long history of strong son preference. We find …
Multiple births and low birth weight
OBJECTIVE: The proportion of multiple births has risen rapidly worldwide. Multiple births are likely to affect birth weight, which results in low birth weight (LBW) of less than 2500 g, possibly, because multiples are more likely to be born prematurely or less than 37 weeks into pregnancy. Using data from South Korea, this study aims to estimate the contribution of the rise in multiples to the rise in LBW incidence. METHODS: Based on data from 20…
