Census 2011 and Child Sex Ratios in Tamil Nadu: A Comment

Sharada Srinivasan and Arjun Bedi

Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, 2013, vol. 14, issue 3, 441-451

Abstract: Inspired by Narayana's article published in this journal, this comment revisits the conclusion of a policy-driven decline in daughter elimination in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu using recently released data from Census 2011. Consistent with Narayana's work we find evidence to support the conclusion that government and non-governmental organization interventions have played a role in reducing gender differences in survival.
