Abstract
Women empowerment is a burning issue all over the world. “Women empowerment” and “women equality with men” is a universal issue. The present paper is an attempt to show the gender imbalance among the children in the Bhiwani district of Haryana. Haryana typifies many north western states where female experience inferior health and uncertain survival, especially after the neonatal period. The gender imbalance is a disparity between males and females in a population. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviour, activities and attributes that a given society at a given time and place consider appropriate for men and women and boys and girls and the relationships between them. Gender defines and differentiates what women and men, and girls and boys are expected to be and do their roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations. In this present paper we define the Tehsil wise spatio-temporal study of gender imbalances in child sex ratio of Bhiwani district. Sex ratio is the number of males and females for every hundred females. The gap between male and female leads to gender imbalance. Sex ratio is an important social indicator to measure the extent of prevailing equity between male and females in a society at a given point of time. Changes in sex ratio largely reflect the underlying socio-cultural and economic patterns of society. The paper attempts to study the gender imbalance in terms of child sex-ratio of the given district. The issue is important and demands appropriate corrective actions.
