Sex ratio trends. The figure shows the estimated sex ratios at birth and under age 5 from different data sources. Census estimates show the sex ratio under age 5 and are gathered from Population Censuses (1985, 1990, and 2000) and Address Based Population Registration System (ABPRS; 2008–2013). Vital statistics show the sex ratio at birth and are gathered from Central Population Administrative System (2001–2013). Turkish Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS) estimates are from author’s calculations, with the y axis scaled to the commonly accepted natural sex ratio range at birth (1.02–1.08 boys per girl), and x axis labels are shown only for the years that the data were available
