Georgia, China, and Armenia have higher-than-average male-to-female sex ratios, possibly due to selective abortion of female fetuses. The ratio declines as the population ages. In the US, there are more searches for “how to have a girl” than “how to have a boy.”
The sex ratio in the country of Georgia is estimated at 120 males born for every 100 females born. On average, sex ratios naturally tend to be 105 males to 100 females. In addition to Georgia, countries such as China and Armenia also have higher-than-average sex ratios for males. This is thought to be a result of cultural preferences for males leading people to selectively abort female fetuses. The ratio increased in these countries during the 1990s after the rise of ultrasound machines that could determine sex during pregnancy, but historically infanticide has also been used to check sex ratios.

In Armenia, the sex ratio for firstborns is 138 boys for every 100 girls born, and 61% of secondborns are boys if the firstborns were girls.
As the population ages in Georgia, the sex ratio tends to decline. For example, for people over the age of 65, the sex ratio is 0.66 males to every female.
In the US, there are about three times as many Google searches for “how to have a girl” than “how to have a boy.”
