Population ages 00-04, female (% of female population)

This indicator reflects the proportion of girls aged 0 to 4 years relative to the total female population, providing crucial insights into gender dynamics within the youngest segment of society. A higher percentage may suggest a healthy birth rate and a balanced gender ratio at birth, while a lower ratio could indicate societal factors such as gender-biased prenatal practices or variations in healthcare access for females. Monitoring this statistic is essential for understanding demographic trends, resource allocation for early childhood development, and the broader implications for female empowerment and societal growth in the coming decades. It enables policymakers to formulate informed strategies that promote gender equity from an early age. Source:
