Report: Abortions to Result in 5 Million Fewer Girls Born in Coming Decade
John Hayward 4 Aug 2021
Research published in the BMJ medical journal on Tuesday estimated 4.7 million fewer girls will be born worldwide in the next ten years due to sex selection practices, including abortion.
The study warned this imbalance could increase social unrest and violence.
AFP summarized the research in a report Tuesday that noted “sex-selective abortions have been on the rise for the past 40 years in countries throughout southeast Europe along with south and east Asia, with as-yet undetermined demographic impacts.”
To model those demographic impacts, the researchers looked at countries with a strong “cultural preference for male offspring” and factored in “observed trends and decreased fertility.” The resulting statistical projection indicated a shortfall of 4.7 million girls by 2030, and more remarkably, a potential shortage of 22 million girls by 2100.
“Fewer-than-expected females in a population could result in elevated levels of anti-social behavior and violence, and may ultimately affect long-term stability and social sustainable development,” the authors noted.
“The preference for sons over daughters may be so pronounced in some societies that couples will go to great lengths to avoid giving birth to a girl or will fail to care for the health and well-being of a daughter they already have in favor of their son,” the United Nations Population Fund warned in a 2020 report.
