Over the past 23 years, there were constantly more men than women living on the planet. Of the 8.06 billion people living on the Earth in 2023, 4.05 billion were men and 4.01 billion were women. One-quarter of the world's total population in 2024 was below 15 years.

Alaska had the highest male to female ratio in the United States in 2020, with ***** men for every 100 women. The male to female ratio was lowest in the District of Columbia, with **** men for every 100 women. The final frontier Alaska, which was purchased from the Russian Empire in 1867, is the largest state in the U.S. and one of the newest states, having been admitted to the U.S. in 1959. Although oil production dominates the economy, Alaska has a very high poverty rate and consistently has the highest unemployment rate in the country. It’s a man’s world Alaska is one of 10 states in the U.S. that has more men than women. The male to female ratio in the United States as a whole is about even, but as the population ages, there tend to be more females than males. Even though the sex ratio in the U.S. is almost one to one, a little more than ** percent of all females participated in the labor force in 2021, compared with **** percent of men.

In terms of population size, the sex ratio in the United States favors females, although the gender gap is remaining stable. In 2010, there were around 5.17 million more women, with the difference projected to decrease to around 3 million by 2027.

Gender ratios by U.S. state In the United States, the resident population was estimated to be around 331.89 million in 2021. The gender distribution of the nation has remained steady for several years, with women accounting for approximately 51.1 percent of the population since 2013. Females outnumbered males in the majority of states across the country in 2020, and there were eleven states where the gender ratio favored men.

Metro areas by population National differences between male and female populations can also be analyzed by metropolitan areas. In general, a metropolitan area is a region with a main city at its center and adjacent communities that are all connected by social and economic factors. The largest metro areas in the U.S. are New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. In 2019, there were more women than men in all three of those areas, but Jackson, Missouri was the metro area with the highest share of female population.

Population, female (% of total population) in World was reported at 49.72 % in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. World - Population, female (% of total) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on September of 2025.

According to the 2021 Census, there were 30.4 million (51.0%) women and girls and 29.2 million (49.0%) men and boys in England and Wales.

Over the past two decades, the number of out-of-school girls in primary school age decreased globally from 57 million to 32 million. The share of boys admitted at primary school worldwide also saw a decline from 42 million in 2000 to 27 million in 2018. Progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children has generally stagnated since 2007, and a higher number of girls than boys are not in primary school worldwide today.

Regional perspective

In detail, nine percent of girls in primary school age are not in school worldwide, compared to seven percent of their male counterparts. In a regional perspective, Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest out-of-school population in the world. 22 percent girls and 17 percent boys from this region were not in primary school in 2018. South Asia had the second highest out-of-school population that same year, with eight percent girls and six percent boys respectively.

Lower secondary school

A similar picture appears for adolescents in lower secondary age. While the number of children who were not admitted to lower secondary school generally decreased in the past years, 32 million boys and 30 million girls are still out of school to this day. Up until 10 years ago, a higher number of girls were out of school than boys, but now the tendency has shifted as fewer boys are not enrolled in lower secondary school globally. In South Asia as well as East Asia and the Pacific, a higher share of females was in lower secondary school, while in Sub-Saharan Africa more males were admitted.

United States - Sex ratio at birth (male births per female births) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on October of 2025.

Worldwide, the male population is slightly higher than the female population, although this varies by country. As of 2024, Hong Kong has the highest share of women worldwide with almost ** percent. Moldova followed behind with around ** percent. Among the countries with the largest share of women in the total population, several were former Soviet states or were located in Eastern Europe. By contrast, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman had some of the highest proportions of men in their populations.

The average for 2023 based on 47 countries was 51.06 percent. The highest value was in Moldova: 53.98 percent and the lowest value was in Malta: 48.11 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in White Earth. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In White Earth, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $63,333 for males and $23,594 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in White Earth. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 37 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 63%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of White Earth.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In White Earth, for full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, while the Census reported a median income of $80,536 for males, while data for females was unavailable due to an insufficient number of sample observations.

As there was no available median income data for females, conducting a comprehensive assessment of gender-based pay disparity in White Earth was not feasible.

Introduction

Male and Female Doctors Statistics: Doctors play an essential role in the medical industry. Male and female doctors play critical roles in providing different healthcare services in medicine.

Historically, men have significantly dominated the medical profession. However, there has been a considerable growth in the number of female doctors over the years, as more women seek professions in medicine.

The distribution of male and female doctors across different specializations and geographic locations can vary significantly.

Key factors such as personal preferences, cultural norms, work-life balance considerations, etc., may influence the choices made by male and female doctors regarding their work environment as well as location.

Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.
