   (a) Analyse the table given below. Which values do you think are disturbing the balance of the country?   

	Female	Male
Gender ratio	46%	56%
Occupation	55%	35%

 (b) What value have you learnt from the given table?      

Answer:

                  (a) The gender ratio is below half, which shows that the birth of girl children is denied in the society, which is highly negative. This will create a number of social problems in the future, if it continues unabated. More people being employed in secondary occupations reflects environmental imbalances. It shows excessive industrialization in comparison to agriculture, with very few people being employed in the service sector, which will lead to a lopsided economy. (b) From the given table, I have learnt, that gender equality is important for the development of a country.
