Abstract
This paper examines the gender ratios of the Statistical Metropolitan Areas (SMAs) of Bangladesh for the last intercensal period (1981-1991) and discusses the factors that are associated with the changing gender ratios of the SMAs. The latest population census of Bangladesh suggests that the gender ratios of its four SMAs declined markedly during the last decade. This decline is explained in terms of the decentralization of government administration initiation of rural development programs increased opportunities for overseas employment and openings of employment for rural women in the garment industries of the SMAs.
