Gender disparity has become concentrated in children aged 0-5 and at birth. For the conference, this phenomenon was called “missing daughters.” The report covers a workshop designed to facilitate dialogue on missing daughters in Asia, providing a forum where research, strategies and ideas could be openly exchanged and analyzed. Information about the background of each country (Bangladesh, China, India and Vietnam) and specific issues are provided.Text1 digital file (18 p.)enSEX RATIOMISSING WOMENSON PREFERENCE IN SOUTH ASIAGOVERNMENT POLICYGENDER DISCRIMINATIONWOMEN'S RIGHTSSON PREFERENCEWorkshop Report
