sexul raportului / Sexratio


Explanation:
Gender ratio is a recent (politically correct) version of what was always known as "sex-ratio". In English, nouns have "gender", people have "sex".

"sex-ratio" is commonly used in Romanian - see link.

  -> Bloody Machine Translation! This version looks better "raportul sexelor la naștere"
