Examining Sex Ratio Disparities among Tribal Communities in Jalgaon District: A Demographic Analysis

Abstract:

          This research investigates the sex ratio disparities among tribal communities in Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India, employing a demographic analysis approach. Sex ratio, defined as the number of females per 1000 males, is a critical indicator of gender balance within populations. Among tribal communities, understanding sex ratio patterns is essential for comprehending gender dynamics, societal structures, and potential areas of gender-based inequalities. Utilizing data from the latest census, the study focuses on mapping the sex ratios of different tribal communities across the district. By examining sex ratios at the village or community level, the research aims to identify areas or groups with imbalanced sex ratios. Additionally, factors such as access to education, healthcare, and socio-economic status will be analyzed to understand their influence on sex ratios within tribal populations. The findings of this study are expected to shed light on the sex ratio disparities among tribal communities in Jalgaon District. Identifying areas or communities with skewed sex ratios can help policymakers and stakeholders develop targeted interventions to address gender-based inequalities. Furthermore, the research aims to contribute to the broader understanding of gender dynamics within tribal populations and inform strategies for promoting gender equality and empowerment among tribal communities in Maharashtra.
