Rural urban and regional variations in the sex structure of Ethiopia's population
Abstract:
"This paper examines the sex structure of the population of Ethiopia with emphasis on the sex structure of the urban population which is somewhat unique in Africa. An attempt is made to show rural-urban and north-south differences in sex structure using sex [ratio] classes and [the] 'Rural-Urban Sex Ratio Gap'.... Some possible factors and implications of the situation are stated." Data are from a number of official sources, including the preliminary report from the 1984 census.
