Gender, differential mortality and development the experience of Kerala
研究印度死亡率性别差异，聚焦喀拉拉邦的异常性别比例，探讨其与女性及发展过程的关系，为理解性别偏见提供参考。
This study examines aspects of sex differentials in mortality in India. "The general question of sex bias and excess female mortality is first discussed.... Subsequently the reasons for the regional contrast in sex ratios are explored.... We then focus on the interesting exception to the Indian trend and attempt an explanation for the unusual sexual profile that Kerala displays.... The paper ends...with an attempt to draw some tentative conclusions from the Kerala experience with an eye towards more general issues concerning women and the development process."
