In The Human Dichotomy, John Clarke discusses how the ratio between
the numbers of males and females will change in the future.
Scientific and technological advances, accompanied by social and
economic change, are affecting the number of births, the number of
deaths and the mobility of the two sexes, with the prospect of
further dramatic changes in store. What impact will this have on
the lot of women and girls world-wide? Will changes in the ratio of
male to female births mean that the traditional son preference will
begin to break down?
Professor Clarke looks at how medical interventions and the looming
prospect of sex selection at birth will affect the rough balances
in the numbers of men and women. As well as these so-called
'natural' changes, the numerical balances of the two sexes in most
parts of the world is being greatly transformed by a revolution in
female mobility. How 'natural' changes in population and increased
mobility in the 21st century will affect the geographical
distribution in the numerical balance of the sexes is a key theme
of this book.
Addressing a significant gap in the literature, The Human Dichotomy
provides case studies from across the world on the problems
associated with the changing balances of births, deaths and
mobility of the two sexes. Issues discussed include patterns of sex
ratios, sex-selective abortions, sex-differential mortality in more
developed and less developed countries, marriage and widowhood, and
gendered migration.
