Census data of kuwait show that the sex ratio among kuwaiti nationals has been declining. This paper examines the influence of varimus factors on sex ratio. Among the 5 factors considered here, the results show that two of themr'viz, the mortality differential between kuwaiti males and kuwaiti females and the mixed marriages of kuwaitis with Non-Kuwaitis, contributed towards 7'O percent of decline in sex ratio during the intercensal period 1975-80. The impact of errors in census counts on sex ratio could not be precisely estimated :in =the absence of Post Enumeration Surveys. Further no trend in sex ratio at birth was found. The influence of birth order and maternal age on sex ratio at birth was also studied through regression analysis and by linear and quadratic models. The results are presented in the paper which 'suggest a non-linear relationship. The migrition factor is con­sidered not relevant for kuwaiti nationals
