Abstract
In India there are marked state and regional variations in gender preferenc e. Its effect on contraceptive prevalence is far more complex than has been understood. Regions of strong gender preference do not. necessarily show a n adverse impact on contraceptive prevalence. What are the reasons for the lack of an expected concordance at the various levels of gender preference?
