The Echo published an article on selective abortions, when mothers do not want to give birth to girls. The British edition of The Telegraph, referring to the estimates of a number of demographers, predicts the acute shortage of women worldwide.
It is expected that the world will face it in the next fifty years, which will be one of the main threats to humanity. Selective abortion is a fairly common problem in many countries of the world, but it is especially relevant in the countries of the East. It is connected with the negative attitude towards the female infants with the unfavorable status of women in some societies. Until recently, the female population in Azerbaijan was 51%, but today this figure has dropped to 50.5%. According to forecasts, in the foreseeable future, the population of Azerbaijan will consist of 50% of women and 50% of men, and this indicator would be optimal. But sociologists note that more boys are now born in Azerbaijan than girls.
