The fertility rate (over twice of Europe) & Sex ratio at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female (CIA fact book) .......... think were this leads.

Those numbers appear to be on a significantly worsening trend...

NORMALLY, women around the world give birth to 105 or 106
boys for every 100 girls. But according to China's latest census, there were 117 boys born for every 100 girls in 2000, up from 114 in 1990.

And in India, the early 2001 census data show that in the
north and west, which include some of the richest states, the ratio of girls to boys, from birth to age 6, has declined sharply in the same decade. In Punjab the rate has
fallen to 793 girls per 1,000 boys from 875; in Rajasthan from 915 to 865; in Gujarat from 928 to 878, and in
Maharashtra from 946 TO 917. The overall rate in India fell
from 945 to 927.
