Imbalanced sex ratios: The social consequences
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, vol. 9, no. 4, 1983, pp. 525–543
Abstract
Imbalanced population sex ratios dramatically influence gender roles, shape relationships between them, and produce changes in family structures. This report briefly sketches these findings and, by means of social exchange theory, spells out the linkage between this demographic condition and its social consequences.
