ABSTRACT In an examination of the relationships between imbalanced gender ratios and the growth–health–poverty nexus, a simultaneous equation model (based on panel data) identifies an adverse impact of poor health conditions on the gender ratio. Better health services and health outcomes can raise the survival rate of girl children and women, while a higher gender ratio (a greater presence of women) is associated with an increased survival rate of girl children. Economic growth alone is not sufficient to curb gender inequality, but the female labour force participation rate does have favourable effects on the gender ratio, indicating the wide social and economic implications of women’s access to resources.

增长，健康与性别失衡：印度的证据

摘要在考察性别比例失衡与增长-健康-贫困关系之间的关系时，联立方程模型（基于面板数据）确定了不良健康状况对性别比例的不利影响。更好的保健服务和健康成果可以提高女童和妇女的存活率，而更高的性别比（妇女人数更多）与女童的存活率增加相关。单靠经济增长不足以遏制性别不平等，但是女性劳动力参与率的确对性别比率产生了有利影响，表明妇女获得资源的广泛社会和经济影响。
