Rajasthan Gender Women and girls in Rajasthan face persistent barriers to progress. The child sex ratio is among the lowest in India, and is declining. Maternal mortality is high, but has seen improvement. And although more women work in Rajasthan compared to other states, there has been a sharp decline in female labor force participation since 2005. There are fewer non-farm job opportunities for women in rural Rajasthan, and very few urban women work. On a positive note, gender gaps in schooling are starting to close for younger girls. Child sex ratio in Rajasthan is among the lowest in the country Child sex ratio, 2011 (age 0-6) females per 1,000 males 1,000 972 970 970 969 964 962 957 957 956 948 948 950 943 943 942 941 939 936 935 919 918 909 902 900 894 890 890 888 871 862 850 846 834 800 AR MG MZ CG KL AS SK TR WB KA JH NL TN GA OD AP MN BH AI MP HP UP MH GJ UK RJ DL JK PJ HR Low Income States are highlighted in orange, AI is All India.
