According to 2021 statistics, there are 115 boys for every 100 girls in Azerbaijan. The biological norm of the sex ratio of children born is 102-106. Azerbaijan in 2022 came out on top in the number of selective abortions, leaving behind China. According to the calculations of the UN Population Fund, if nothing changes, then by 2050 the number of annually born boys in Azerbaijan will be 12,000-15,000 more than the number of newborn girls. A sharp increase in the number of men in society can lead to serious consequences. These include gender inequality, violence, early marriage, and human trafficking.
