In the first major study available of this emotive and sensitive issue, Elisabeth Croll investigates the extent of discrimination against female children in Asia and shifts the focus of attention firmly from son-preference to daughter-discrimination.This book brings together demograph 606 $aFamily size$zAsia 606 $aSex of children, Parental preferences for$zAsia 606 $aGirls$zAsia$xSocial conditions 606 $aDaughters$zAsia$xSocial conditions 606 $aSex discrimination$zAsia 606 $aWomen in development$zAsia 615 0$aFamily size 615 0$aSex of children, Parental preferences for 615 0$aGirls$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aDaughters$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSex discrimination 615 0$aWomen in development 676 $a305.23 700 $aCroll$b Elisabeth$f1944-2007.,$0881580 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822368303321 996 $aEndangered daughters$93951181 997 $aUNINA
