Solution
China is the most populous country in the world. Its annual population growth rate was very high. The one-child norm introduced in China in the late 1970s is the major reason for fall in the population growth rate.
However, this measure led to a decline in the sex ratio. The number of females per 1000 males in China is approximately 949. One-child policy and prevalent son-preference is the prime reason behind the skewed sex ratio.
