“Missing Girls in Historical Europe” is a major research project at NTNU in which researchers have looked into numbers of girls and boys in European countries over a 250-year period. They found that the number of male children was higher in several countries during periods of poverty and poor living conditions.
Why did more female infants than male infants die in Europe from 1700 to 1950?
