What is "missing girls" and "Unwanted girls"?

A desire ,love for a male child is a curse for our Indian society ."killing of a girl child in a womb is termed as missing girl" by the Indian government,when government put a ban on the determination of sex of the foetus ,a new term was listed in the survey of Indian government ""UNWANTED GIRLS"" .Its mean a family giving birth to so many girls just for a desire of a male child as a result of this these girls were neglected by the family they were not send to the school ,even no medical care was given.
"" India Has 21 Million 'Unwanted' Girls Due to Preference for Sons"".yes you read it correctly the data shows 21 million unwanted girls and a number to make us pay attention to a societal problem, India has 63 million “missing women.” just a shame on our society.

"India must confront the societal preference, even meta-preference for a son, which appears inoculated to development," these were the lines on the government's annual economic survey, presented to parliament.
Many couples have a girl when they were hoping for a boy. If the girls are nonetheless treated equally, this would not be much of a problem. Unfortunately, girls get fewer resources than boys. The stopping behaviour means that girls tend to grow up in larger families. Even if parents treat their children equally, girls are disadvantaged by being in families with fewer resources to spend per child. Moreover, parents who passionately want sons, unsurprisingly, favour them once born. Boys are more likely to get immunisations. India shows a gender gap in stunting compared to other parts of the world, consistent with girls consuming less nutritious food.
