Title: | Fertility Decline and Increasing Gender Imbalance in India, Including a Possible South Indian Turnaround | Author: | Alaka Malwade Basu | Publication: | Development and Change / Blackwell Publishers | Enumeration: | Volume 30, Number 2, April 1999 | Abstract: | Birth rates in India have been in a definite decline since about 1985.
