The article is very detailed and has a really good break down in statistics and no spelling or grammatical errors. The religious demographics table giving a break down to the different religions in terms of the ratio to females to males is really good.

Why does the article give "selective stopping of family size once a male is born" as a reason for skewed sex ratios? It is literally impossible for this, or indeed, any particular pattern of choices to have or not have an additional child in particular situations, to affect sex ratios of a society. It can change the chance of an individual family having more sons than daughters, but not the total number of each per 100 children. The many families with slightly more sons than daughters are balanced by a few who, following that strategy, end up with many many daughters before a son.

The claim that this can affect sex ratios is equivalent to the claim that one can go into a casino with booths offering even odds on coin flips, and consistently make money by moving to a new booth whenever you're ahead. It's frankly absurd. 166.198.25.78 (talk) 23:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
