Literacy=less gender bias; but reverse isn’t always true | Firstpost

Literacy=less gender bias; but reverse isn’t always true | Firstpost: "A comparison of literacy rates and child sex ratios (number of girls in the 0-6 age group per 1,000 boys) across states shows that a high literacy rate goes hand-in-hand with above average child sex ratios. However, the converse is not true – low literacy does not necessarily imply a gender bias. In fact, some of the least literate states have healthy child sex ratios."
