List of Chinese administrative divisions by sex ratio

The sex ratio of Chinese administrative divisions is the ratio of males to females in the population of the particular area. It has been the subject of academic study because of a high imbalance in births since the 1990s and female infanticide further worsening the imbalanced sex ratios at birth.
