The sex preference, especially son preference, is one of the social problems in Korea. Male live births have exceeded those of females by amounts far greater than those that occur naturally in human populations since 1980s, but in recent years sex ratio at birth(SBR) has been slightly decreasing.
This study was conducted to assess the recent pattern of sex preference and the affecting factors among students who lived in Kyongju, Kyongsangbuk-do province. In this study a total of 1,674 middle school, high school, and college students were surveyed through a structured questionnaire.
The following are summaries of the findings.
In general, there was no son preference among the study subjects.
According to the sex and the composition of siblings of the study subjects, the pattern of the sex preference was significantly different(p<0.01), and there were no differences according to the other characteristics.
The most important reason for son preference among both male and female students was to achieve happiness by bringing up their offsprings, and the reason for daughter preference was the same.
In conclusion, the son preference seemed not to be a dominant problem in Korea, particularly among the younger generation, so the disparity of SRB is not expected to be a social problem in the foreseeable future.
