The reasons for good and poor performance in terms of sex ratio depends on each family. Just to generalized some of the reasons would be
ReplyDelete1. Due to illiteracy, mostly in the rural areas, people are not aware about the power and role of women in today's Era.

The national sex ratio as per the 2011 census stands at 943 females per 1000 males. Meghalaya might be a matrilineal state, perhaps the only one in the world and it may be assumed that it’s performance in gender equality would be good but the reality is that patriarchy, which has always been a part of the culture here, is still seen in various aspects. Taking the Khasi tribe in particular, although more women are emerging as entrepreneurs, administrators and high-ranking officials, etc; they still remain in the back seat when it comes to politics, religion, other cultural practices and the many decision-making aspects. Women are socially restricted by the written and unwritten norms preventing them from leading liberated lives.
ReplyDeleteSex ratio in Meghalaya 1001 female per 1000 male and the literacy rate is female 89.24% and male92.4%
ReplyDeleteNationality 108 male per 100 female and literary rate is 51.96 that of male and 48.04 of female.

The only obstruction is poverty.

ReplyDeleteIn terms of sex ratio, Meghalaya is much ahead of the country. With a matrilineal society, where daughters inherit property and children take on mother's surname, it would be presumed that the picturesque state of Meghalaya would perform well on a gender equality index.
ReplyDeleteIn is observed that the sex ratio in Meghalaya, which is 989 females per thousand males, is higher than than the sex ratio at national level which is 943 females per thousand males. In Meghalaya, East Khasi Hills District, has a high rate of sex ratio where the number of females is 1011 per thousand males. India's problems of gender imbalance have been observed in the majority of states for long years except in selected few states. This is mainly attributed to the age-old customs and complicated social fabric of Indian society. It very much reflected the dominance of the patriarchy system as well as the prevalence of gender inequality among other associated factors. Meghalaya being a matrilineal society where inheritance and the lineage is traced from a MOTHER, gender inequality was not a problem. Both males and females are treated as equal. Whereas, in the rest of India, sons or male are more favored and preferred and sadly daughters are mostly taken as a burden, especially those belonging to the lower strata of the society, this is due to socio-cultural practices, rigid caste system including dowry. Females hold a low status in society. In extreme cases, women are badly treated, violence on women commonly occurs in many parts of India, cases of abuse on girls or women are often reported though many are unreported due fear and stigma that females had to undergo. Horrifying news on female infanticide or abandon of female child after birth they still exist. All this will lead to a higher mortality rate for females. Such practices are some of the factors that contributes to deepening decline in sex ratio.

This shows that in our state the Sex ratio is much better than that of our country. This is possible because of the Matrilineal system that is being followed in our state where women tend to have the upper hand in the family decision making and even the wealth of the family is being passed on to the female and not to the males.
ReplyDeleteBeing a matrilineal state the sex ratio in Meghalaya is far much better than in other states because there is no discrimination based on gender.

Unlike the national average, Meghalaya has a favorable sex ratio due to its matrilineal structure. women play a major role in the state's socio-economic growth. Rural residents, illiterate or not, are not aware of the power and influence women have today time. Along with poverty, the declining sex ratio is a result of that ratio's decline. It is an issue that rural women are not empowered. Otherwise, in our state, men and women have equal access to opportunities from childhood to higher education.

ReplyDeleteOn the otherhand, Meghalaya had a far better sex ratio performance in comparison to the national data. It has been observed according to the Census data of 2011, that Meghalaya had 989 females per thousand males. It was even more encouraging to see that East Khasi Hills District in the state had 1011 females per thousand males.
The reason for the high female ratio than to male is that Meghalaya follows a Matrilineal system. Though a female child is preferred over a male child yet there is no gender discrimination. A male and a female child are both treated alike.
Gender equity is followed in term of opportunities. Largely women play an important role in the society and are treated with respect. They contribute to a great extent in the socio-economic development of the society as it is women who are mostly engaged in trade and business as well as following different professions and even occupying high positions.
In Meghalaya, sex ratio is satisfactory as it follows matrilineal society.
ReplyDeleteBeing a matrilineal society the sex ratio in Meghalaya is more or less balance. Gender equality is followed. However, there is a danger of men underperforming due to lack of support from society. In order to have a balance society both genders need to be educated about the various roles that they have to fulfill in the community at large.
ReplyDeleteThe national sex ratio is 940: 1000 as per the 2011 census, whereas in East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, it is 1011 : 1000 . The majority tribes in Meghalaya being matrilineal and matriarchal, there is a preference for female children and thus no female foeticide.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned above the matriarchal system in the society of the khasi, jaintias and garo tribes of Meghalaya contributes to a healthy sex ratio in the state where both male and female offsprings are given equal opportunities especially in terms of education thus ensuring a balanced work opportunities as well. We are blessed with a society which does not treat a girl child as a burden and women enjoy the benefits of equality so much so that the female child has equal or more chance in inheritance of parental property thus education is encouraged for girls as well as boys
ReplyDeleteThe matrilineal system in Meghalaya provides fair & equal opportunities to both male and female.Because of the existing gender equity, sex ratio in Meghalaya is comparatively better than other states.

ReplyDeleteSex ratio in matrilineal Meghalaya, which now stands at 986 females every 1,000 males, has risen up both at state and district levels, with the highest being in East Khasi Hills according to 2011 Census. This data shows that there is more or less gender equality in Meghalaya with a slight inclination towards the female gender.
ReplyDeleteWhile comparing the national sex ratio and the state sex ratio,our state Meghalaya has the best ratio,as our state is a matrilineal socirety.
ReplyDeleteAs per data of East Khasi Hills, the sex ratio is almost balanced.But as per national data given,the sex ratio is comparatively unsatisfactory . The number of males and females is not matched.In many states the number of females is less than900 per 1000 males which is really worrisome. The main reasons for the difference are: 1. Inequality in social status and belief among families.2. Many families prefer males to females.3.Burden to families for maintenance for females.

ReplyDeleteComparing national sex ratio with Meghalaya sex ratio we came to a conclusion that Meghalaya has better sex ratio. The reason being that Meghalaya follows matrilineal system where their is no gender bias and where women play a significant role in socio-economic development of the state.
ReplyDeleteAs per the Census of India 2011 it was revealed that the sex ratio in India 2011 is 940 females per 1000 of males. On the other hand in East Khasi Hills District the sex ratio is 1011 females per 1000 males. Comparatively, East Khasi Hills District enjoys a better sex ratio than the national average. The same may be attributed to the fact that since Meghalaya follows a Matrilineal System in society, women enjoy a higher social status and are treated at par with men, hence women are an equally important segment of the society.

ReplyDeleteOur state sex ratio is better because of the social system that is matriarchal in nature. It has its negatives and positives too.
ReplyDeleteMajority of us, Men, in our state do not enjoy responsibility or accountability and it could possibly be because of the society in which men’s ideas and/or heritage is not as important as the women. This leads to the role of men in the society being undermined, paving the future for men to fail rather than being leaders.
The positives in the long run will crack. The high level of social unrest are created mostly by the men who have been lost due to high dropout rates and high levels of substance abuse in the states, it will only increase as the days go by.
