However, over time that number seems to even out. Over the course of millions of years of evolution, nature has a way of working out the kinks, and this imbalanced birth rate is evidence of that. The remaining difference in the sex ratio can be explained by certain social and cultural traditions, such as abortions and gendercide since male infants are more highly desired than females in some parts of the world. Son preference is highly prevalent in several countries in East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Sons are preferred, especially in agrarian economies, since they have a higher wage-earning capacity and ‘continue the family line.’ Girls are often considered an economic burden since they typically become members of the husband’s family, ceasing to have any responsibility for their parents in old age.\n
