重男轻女的性别选择在世界广大地区，包括许多亚洲和东欧国家都很普遍。然而，虽然在这些地区的几个国家中广泛研究了强有力的儿子偏见，但对拉丁美洲等其他地区的关注要少得多。本文的目的是比较21世纪初东南亚和拉丁美洲12个选定国家的性别偏好，计算父母在多大程度上调整他们的生育行为，以确保出生的首选性别。使用来自综合公共使用微数据系列国际（IPUMS-I）的人口普查数据，主要来自2010年的一轮，我们用Kaplan-Meier估计器计算奇偶进展率，并估计考克斯回归以包括控制变量。结果集中在生第三个孩子的可能性上，并表明混合的孩子组成（一个男孩和一个女孩）是最普遍的偏好，除了在越南，那里仍然可以观察到重儿子的偏好。最不喜欢的结果因地区和国家而异，但最常见的是两个女儿。
A preference for sons and a sex selection against females are widespread in vast regions of the world, including a great number of Asian and East European countries. However, while a robust son bias has been widely studied in several countries of these regions, much less attention has been given to other regions, such as Latin America. The aim of this paper is to compare gender preferences in twelve selected countries of Southeast Asia and Latin America at the beginning of the twenty-first century by calculating to what extent parents adapt their fertility behaviors to ensure the birth of a preferred sex. Using census data from Integrated Public Use Microdata Series-International (IPUMS-I), derived mostly from the 2010 round, we compute parity progression ratios with the Kaplan–Meier estimator and estimate Cox regressions to include control variables. The results focus on the probability of having a third child and show that a mixed composition of children (one boy and one girl) is the most widespread preference, except in Vietnam, where a heavy son preference can still be observed. The least preferred outcome varies between regions and countries, but it is most often two daughters.
