Abstract

Sex ratio of human population is one of the basic demographic characteristics, which is extremely vital for any meaningful demographic analysis.Primarily it is the simple count of males and females. It is not only affects the demographic process, but also determines the socio economic relationship within a community. The balance between males and females in the total population as well as in various age groups have considerable impact on social and economic situation, both in the present as well as in the future context. Many socio-economic relationships intimately related to the balance or disparity between the number of males and females. Due to the variations in geographical settings, socio- economic and cultural setups even at micro level, it is very essential to know spatial and temporal variation in sex ratio at micro level. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to map and analyse the spatial and temporal variation in sex ratio at block level in Fatehabad district of Haryana for the census years 2001 and 2011. The general sex ratio of Fatehabad district rose from 884 in 2001 to 903 in 2011. During the last decade the study area has added 19 more females per 1000 males. It ranges between 10 to 28 females per 1000 males in different blocks. On the other hand the child sex ratio (0-6) of Fatehabad district improved from 828 (2001) to 845 (2011) femaleChilds per 1000 males. The study area has added 27 more femaleChilds per 1000 males. It ranges between -4 to 56 females per 1000 males in different blocks. The results of this research may be useful for geographers, demographers, researchers, regional planners, administrator, and agricultural scientist.
