13:20 ~U 02.05.13
The sex balance of newborns has been violated in Armenia still in 1990s
and currently it makes 114-115 boys against 100 girls. It is one of
the highest index in the world yielding only to China and Azerbaijan.
The presented figures are from 'Misbalance of Sex of newborns in
Armenia: Ethnographic Information and Analyses' 2012-2013 survey
presented by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
The study has revealed that if the phenomena of having boys by
hindering the birth of the girls continues, by 2060 Armenia will lose
almost 93,000 potential future mothers and its population will reduce
by additional 80,000 people and will make about 2.6 million.
Doctor Christof Gilmoton, UNFP Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan office
director Zahidul Huque and executive representative of the UNFP
Armenia office Garik Hayrapetyan speaking to a news conference today
noted that the surplus of boys born after 1996 makes 39,000.
"If we fail to suspend this phenomenon the part of 29-30 year old men
will face difficulties in making families and not finding wives will
have to either emigrate or find a woman from abroad," Hayrapetyan said.
According to the study, in Armenia the wish to have a baby boy is
stronger than a baby girl and the attempts to have boy resulted in
girls being elder than the boys in the families
