Identify the reasons for regional variations of displacement levels in India.

Answer:

According to demographers and sociologists, the reasons for the decline in child sex ratio in India are:

1. Social factors: Patriarchal society with more male centric thoughts force one family to have male child with old beliefs like family name. Lack of education makes them unable to follow right attitude towards it.

2. Technological factors: Advent of science and technology like ultrasonography has made it possible for antenatal sex detection. It led to lowering sex-ratio.

3. Economical factors: Due to prevalent social evils like dowry, daughters are considered as economic burden for family. So family prefers to have male child as earning source as well as reducing burden.

4. Lack of awareness: Due to low contribution of female in economy of house females are not considered as important as males. They even lack of basic amenities.

Reasons for regional ?variations of displacement?:

1. After 1970, there was fast development in India and every state has developed in different ways. The development in Kerala vastly owes to Gulf money where one or two members of a family in Kerala migrated to Gulf countries. People from Kerala used this additional money in development of the state.

2. In several agriculturally rich, regions, such as coastal Andhra Pradesh, ?Western Uttar Pradesh and Central Gujrat well-to-do farmers belonging to the dominant castes began to invest their profits from agriculture to other types of business and this process of diversification gave rise to new regional elites that became economically? as well as politically dominant.

3. Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, due to lack of effective land reforms, peasants who did not have land of their own, migrated to other states due to increasing inequalities from 1990?s. These labourers worked in construction activities, usually not paid the minimum wages.
