abstract="One way to assess the magnitude of women's survival disadvantage in parts of the developing world is to estimate the number of &quot;missing women&quot; that died as a result of excess female mortality. Sen and Coale provided two such estimates of &quot;missing women.&quot; This paper compares and evaluates these two estimates and suggests modifications to arrive at a closer approximation of the size of women's survival disadvantage. The number and regional distribution of &quot;missing women&quot; implied by these modified calculations is supported by other available demographic and economic data on gender discrimination.<p />",
