CORRELATION BETWEEN LITERACY RATE AND SEX RATIO IN MAHARASHTRA: A SPATIAL ANALYSIS

S. R. Chaudhari, R. C. Ahire

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Decreasing sex ratio has become a serious problem in our country as well in the state of Maharashtra. It is presumed that literate people can understand the consequences of lowering sex ratio. Beside literacy and sex ratio play an important role in the development process of the state as well as in the country. An attempt is made to study the correlation between literacy and sex ratio, and to find out whether increasing rate of literacy can help to increase sex ratio? For this study Maharashtra has been selected as the study area and the unit of the study is a district. Education is recognised as a major component of human development in the world. Literacy and sex ratio are most important indicators of development in any particular area. Literacy is an index of human development and quality of human life. It affects birth rate on the one hand and also indicates the level of economic development, living standards, status of women and technological development etc. Sex ratio of a population refers to the balance between male and female in any population. It can be expressed either in the form of proportion of a particular sex in the population or as ratio between male and female.
