Depends.

In some places, like India, sons are generally held to be more important than daughters.

The sons are expected to take care of the parents as they get old, so sheer self-preservation makes people put more value on sons. With not much of a pension plan going, old age survival has to be managed in the family.

When a daughter marries, she becomes a part of her husband's family, so she can't do much for her parents anymore.

China also has a preference for sons, but not as hard as in India. But sons are the ones that carry the family name further(women give theirs up when they marry) which makes them more important. The men are also traditionally seen as the ones who work and earn money, which also boosts their importance.

In countries where men/women are more equal, sons/daughters also gets valued more equally.

Why were sons more valued than daughters in biblical times?

In biblical times, sons were often valued more than daughters due to cultural and economic factors. Sons carried on the family lineage and name, ensuring inheritance and property rights, which were crucial for family stability and legacy.
