“…This study also found that the sex ratios at birth in the United States (1981States ( -2006 were lower for both Black and Hispanic ethnic groups when compared with the white counterparts (Catalano et al 2008). In this connection, a sex ratio at birth of 1.04 for the US white ethnic group was reported within the gestational period of 33-36 weeks, but reported 1.15 for gestational periods of less than 28 weeks and 37 or more weeks as opposed to lower sex ratios at birth among the Black and Hispanic ethnic groups between 1981-2006(The Guardian 2007.…”

“…Social unrest and unstable family formation disturbs the holy relationship among communities of a given society. A large male outmigration due to economic difficulties may disturb the male/female balance where sex ratio tends to be low at place of origin, disenabling females in getting partnership, whereas high ratios make it easier for women to marry, but harder for men, possibly disturbing the balance in the sex ratio at birth (Florida 2008;Bethmann and Kvasnicka 2013;Heer and Grossbard-Shechtman 1981).…”

Definition: The final net live birth delivery from the mother's womb, with distinct male and female genetic traits, forms a ratio of male live births per 100 female live births, termed as Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB). Study areas and source of data: The study areas are Africa and major worldwide continents and countries. The basic data are compiled from the National Population and Housing Censuses, Demographic Sample Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, and Vital Registration Systems.Analytical approaches: The factors influencing the variations in SRB are identified by reviewing various documents, analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques, and statistical measures of central tendency and dispersion. Results: The ratios are consistently higher for advanced countries than the developing countries, with highest for China and India. The ANOVA results show slight differences among the 50 African countries but show differences among the African regional states, whereas the standard deviation of the SRB among the advanced countries, including some Asian and Latin American countries shows non-significant variations. In conclusion, the mean SRB for African populations is 103 as against 106 for other countries.

“…Age preferences are assumed in this paper to be constant through time as in previous studies of time trends in the marriage market over shorter or longer periods (Akers 1967;Goldman et al 1984;Heer and Grossbard-Schechtman 1981;Henry 1969;Hirschman and Matras 1971;Schoen 1983). Detailed evidence supporting the assumption is set out elsewhere.…”

“…However, in Becker (1973 these "salaries" don't indicate opportunity costs of time and therefore don't drive decisions related to allocation of time. In contrast, the 'wife-wages' introduced by Grossbard (1976), while reminiscent of Becker's 'salaries' and Keeley's 'marital wages', have served as the basis for estimating the opportunity cost of time (Heer andGrossbard-Shechtman 1981, Grossbard-Shechtman 1984). 19 Some participants in Becker's workshop at Chicago in the 1980s were also inspired by Becker's models of marriage.…”

Abstract This paper describes Gary Becker's theoretical models of marriage. At the micro-level, these are all rational choice models. At the market level, Becker offers two major types of models: partial equilibrium models based on Price Theory as taught by Marshall and Friedman and optimal sorting models based on optimal assignment models. The paper examines some of the possible intellectual influences on Becker's theory of marriage, compares Becker's research on marriage with that of some scholars interested in intra-marriage distribution, and documents that Becker's students at Chicago were more interested in Becker's Friedmanian models of marriage than in his optimal assignment models.
