To calculate the Parity Ratio (PR):
\[ PR = \frac{M}{F} \]
Where:
The parity ratio is a demographic indicator that compares the number of males to the number of females in a population. It is often used in population studies, sociology, and public health to understand the gender composition of a community or region. A parity ratio of 1 indicates equal numbers of males and females, while a ratio greater than 1 indicates more males, and a ratio less than 1 indicates more females.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PR = \frac{1200}{1000} = 1.20 \]
The Parity Ratio is 1.20, indicating there are more males than females in the population.
