Madhya Pradesh: Sex Ratio As Per Census 2011

The male-to-female ratio in a population is known as the sex ratio. In sexually reproducing organism, the ratio tends to be 1:1, as explained by Fisher’s principle. Many organisms deviate from an equal sex ratio on a regular or permanent basis.

Anthropologists and demographers are particularly interested in the human sex ratio. In human societies, sex ratios at birth can be skewed significantly by factors like the mother’s age at birth, as well as sex-selective abortion and infanticide. 

Pesticides and other environmental contaminants may also be significant contributing factors.

The world’s sex ratio at birth is 107:100.

What do you mean by census?

A census is a method of gathering, calculating, and recording data on members of a population in a systematic manner. This term is most commonly associated with national population and housing censuses; other common censuses include agriculture, traditional culture, business, supplies, and traffic censuses, among others.

A census is distinguished from sampling, which obtains data from a subset of a population; intercensal estimates are typically used to update main population estimates. Census data is frequently used for research, business marketing, and planning, as well as as a baseline for designing sample surveys by providing a sampling frame such as an address register.

Data from the 2011 Census for the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh is linked to the 2001 Census. Census attribute data such as total population, population by sex, household, literacy and illiteracy rates, and employment by industry are included in the village socio-demographic and economic data. This layer is part of the VillageMap dataset, which contains socio-demographic and economic Census data for all of India’s states at the village level for 2001. This data layer is based on secondary government sources such as the Survey of India, the Census of India, and the Election Commission, among others. This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policymakers to use as a reference and mapping tool, and it can also be used for village level demographic analysis within basic applications to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.

Conclusion

The use of a sampling frame defies logic because it implies that the population size has already been determined. A census, on the other hand, is used to collect attribute data on individuals in the country, not just to estimate population size. The difference between a historical census, which was a house-to-house process or the result of an imperial decree, and a modern statistical project is the sampling process. Censuses almost always use an address register as a sampling frame. As a result, it is unknown whether anyone lives there or how many people live in each household.
