It is estimated that the use of selective abortions in India will result in 6.8 million fewer females births by 2030.

Some states in India have a cultural preference for boys and, although it is illegal to reveal the sex of an unborn child (except for medical purposes), this still continues. It it also believed that India has 63 million fewer women since the introduction of sex determination tests.

This article could be used for the Families and Households unit (a comparison of demographics between the UK and other countries), as well as Global Development (demographic and gender as aspects of development).
