In US male:female ratio in reproductive age is 1.07 and at birth this ratio is 1.05. This means for every 100 boys born, 105 girls will be born.

Reproductive value relates to the number of female children born to a woman.

Now this means for 1000 women 1050 female children will be born and 1070 will reach reproductive age.
