Document Summary
Write about a poor community in your country. A group of people who are marginalized. Don"t read a text because it is biased. How the speci c problem can be solved. Amartya sen believed that there were missing women because of discrimination. He tried to count them in di erent countries. One child law in china created a lot of missing women: women were aborting girls until they were pregnant with a boy. Research has concluded that in asia at least 100 million women or more are. Some women are also missing in africa, but a much smaller proportion. Reasons include inferior medical care for girls, and gender selective abortion or female infanticide: infanticide: killing a child after it"s born. The biology was the same in developing countries versus developed countries, therefore, there should be equal gender ratios. This problem can be more important than income. Educational supply and demand: the relationship between employment opportunities and educational demands.
