120 C.Z. GUILMOTO – I. ATTANÉ child sex ratio are different with India recording significantly lower values than China. This may not be appropriate for individual maps, but it facilitates the comparison between the two countries. Scales for each country are also comparable. It is beyond the scope of this paper to produce a detailed geographic analysis of sex ratio variations within both countries (Guilmoto 2005). Maps shown here (Figures 2 and 3) illustrate clearly several common features. First, sex ratio imbalances are not equally distributed in each country. Child sex ratio is almost normal in all provinces of West China (not shown on the maps). Many regions in India appear similarly unaffected by the national rise in child sex ratio. Moreover, there is a distinct clustering of regions with high values. Areas characterized by higher sex ratio tend to be close to each other and the geographic distribution is far from being random. This translates into high levels of spatial autocorrelation for the child sex ratio variable. A further point is that maps tend to exhibit the same patterns across time and there is no radical change in the geography of sex ratio after ten years in spite of the rapid increase observed during this period. A closer examination helps, however, to identify some significant variations between both Asian countries. For example, female discrimination is more acute in urban areas in India than in the countryside, a feature not found in China where some of the largest cities appear rather less affected than rural areas. An equally puzzling aspect of this comparative cartography relates to the geographical patterning of child ratio in both countries. Regarding China, we may first note that child sex ratio is close to normal values in most regions where minority nationalities predominate. This is the case for most provinces in western China not displayed here. But this does not signify that the rest of the country is homogeneous with higher sex ratio values observed everywhere. Central and East China is characterized in fact by a great number of regional hot spots with high child sex ratio surrounded by other counties with lower values. There are indeed many zones characterized by extreme sex ratio values above 120 flanked by adjoining areas where sex ratio is below 110. Consider for instance the large pocket encompassing the bordering counties of Anhui, Hubei and Henan where sex ratio is often above 150. Our map shows it to be surrounded by counties within the same provinces (especially Anhui and Hubei) where sex ratio levels are almost normal. On the contrary, India is characterized by a single, global orientation of its sex ratio patterns, with higher than usual values recorded in the north-western quadrant of the country from Gujarat to Punjab along India’s western border. In the rest of the country, child sex ratio
<strong>THE</strong> GEOGRAPHY OF DETERIORATING CHILD SEX RATIO… hardly exceeds normal values and hot spots of abnormal sex ratio tend to be few and small. A systematic geostatistical analysis of child sex ratio data confirms this observation. Spatial autocorrelation appears in India much stronger than in China and extends over a larger radius (Guilmoto, 2005). This means that irrespective of the fact that sex ratio levels are on the whole considerably higher in China than in India, the spread of sex discrimination appears more compact in India and less scattered away across different subregions.
