This paper aims to explore SRB of migrants in Italy in order to shed light on the phenomenon of sex selection at birth and to help to address policies against that practice. Our objective is to analyze births from mothers with a foreign background from countries where sex selection at birth is widespread and that are among the largest immigrant communities in Italy. The paper aims at assessing if a skewed sex ratio at birth is observed also among overseas communities and what are the possible factors affecting skewed SRB in migratory context. Data stems from the Survey on births from the Resident Population Registers and Delivery Certificate Survey.
