Son targeting fertility behavior in Albania
Robitaille, Marie-Claire; Milla, Joniada - 2022
The collapse of communism led to highly skewed sex-ratios in Albania, which had a long patriarchal tradition before the advent of communism. While the use of sex-selective abortions in the region is well-known, little is known about other forms taken by revealed son preference, such as...

Teenage daughters as a cause of divorce
Kabátek, Jan; Ribar, David C. - 2017
Evidence from the U.S. that couples with daughters are more likely to divorce than couples with sons has not been found for other Western countries. Using 1995-2015 Dutch marriage registry data, we show that daughters are associated with higher divorce risks, but only when they are 13 to 18...

Unintended consequences of family planning policies on the breastfeeding gap between sons and daughters
Chae, Minhee; Cai, Yong; Kim, Jun Hyung; Lavely, William R. - 2023
We examine the effect of a Chinese family planning policy (FPP) known as "Later, Longer, and Fewer" on the gender gap in breastfeeding. We find that FPP increased the daughter-son breastfeeding gap in favor of sons in rural areas. Mean intensity of the FPP predicts the gender gap to be 35%...
