Indian women: well-being and survival
以印度为例，考察发展中国家女性在生存与福祉上的性别差异，发现女性预期寿命较低、性别比下降，且歧视模式在城乡均存在。
The authors examine sex differentials in sustenance and survival in developing countries using the example of India. Lower female life expectancy at birth and the declining ratio of females to males are discussed as evidence of female deprivation. Consideration is given to the feeding, survival, and neglect of female children, to differences in use of medical facilities by sex, and to regional differences by state. This pattern of discrimination is found to persist even in urban areas.
