This paper is concerned with a nonlinear size-structured population model with a time-invarying sex-ratio. Global or local stability results are estab-lished by means of characteristic curves and prior estimations, which show that, if the reproduction number is less than one, the population will go to vanish for all of
the initial distributions; On the other hand, the population may be extinct or in-crease in a manner faster than exponential style if the reproduction number is greater than one. By applying Laplace transformation, the population ergodicity is proven.Finally, the effect of intra-species competition is analysed too.
