The Intergenerational Effects of Sex Imbalance on Child Health and Other Outcomes: Evidence from the One-Child Policy in China

【Abstract】We analyze the intergenerational effects of male-biased sex ratios caused by the one-child policy almost four decades after its implementation in China. We find that male-biased sex ratios in the parental generation have a negative effect on child health, and the results are robust to endogenizing sex ratios and alternative measures of child health. Furthermore, we find that the effects are larger for children who live in rural areas and whose fathers have lower levels of education or income and face more skewed sex ratios. We further explore various underlying channels linking sex imbalance in the parental generation and child outcomes. Our results suggest that parental marital quality (satisfaction) and marital instability (divorce) play an important role in driving the observed effects.
