Worldwide, the male population is slightly higher than the female population, although this varies by country. As of 2023, Hong Kong has the highest share of women worldwide with almost ** percent. Moldova followed behind with ** 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.

Worldwide, the male population is slightly higher than the female population. As of 2023, the country with the highest percentage of men was Qatar, with only slightly more than *********** of the total population being women. The United Arab Emirates followed with ** percent. Different factors can influence the gender distribution in a population, such as life expectancy, the sex ratio at birth, and immigration. For instance, in Qatar, the large share of males is due to the high immigration flows of male labor in the country.

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.

The gender or sex ratio in China has been a contentious issue since the introduction of the one-child policy in 1979, intended to limit the population of the country. Although the policy is no longer in place, the population gender difference throughout the country is still evident. In 2023, fifteen to nineteen-year-old children had the largest gender disparity of 115.3 males to every 100 females. Gender imbalance While the difference of gender at birth has been decreasing in the country over the past decade, China still boasts the world’s most skewed sex ratio at birth at around 110 males born for every 100 females as of 2023. That means there are about 31 million more men in the country than women. This imbalance likely came from the country’s traditional preference for male children to continue the family lineage, in combination with the population control policies enforced. Where does that leave the population? The surplus of young, single men across the country poses a risk for China in many different socio-economic areas. Some of the roll-on effects include males overrepresenting specific labor markets, savings rates increasing, consumption reducing and violent crime increasing across the country. However, the adult mortality rate in China, that is, the probability of a 15-year-old dying before reaching age 60, was significantly higher for men than for women. For the Chinese population over 60 years of age, the gender ratio is in favor of women, with more females outliving their male counterparts.

The average for 2021 based on 66 countries was 0.99 percent. The highest value was in Senegal: 1.16 percent and the lowest value was in Chad: 0.8 percent. The indicator is available from 1970 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In 2022, there were around 1.11 male births per female births in China and Vietnam, respectively. Comparatively, in Sri Lanka, the gender ratio was 1.04 male to female births that year.

Sex Ratio at Birth: Female per 1000 Male: Uttar Pradesh data was reported at 905.000 NA in 2020. This records an increase from the previous number of 894.000 NA for 2019. Sex Ratio at Birth: Female per 1000 Male: Uttar Pradesh data is updated yearly, averaging 878.000 NA from Dec 2006 (Median) to 2020, with 15 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 905.000 NA in 2020 and a record low of 869.000 NA in 2014. Sex Ratio at Birth: Female per 1000 Male: Uttar Pradesh data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India. The data is categorized under India Premium Database’s Demographic – Table IN.GAJ001: Memo Items: Sex Ratio at Birth.

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.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes Sex Ratio, Total Dependency Ratio, and Aging Index for Alberta and Canada for two census periods, 2006 and 2011. The sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a given population, usually expressed as the number of males for every 100 females. The sex ratio at birth in most countries is about 105 or 106 males per 100 females. After birth, sex ratios vary because of different patterns of mortality and migration for males and females within the population. Dependency ratio (age dependency ratio) is the ratio of persons in the "dependent" ages (generally under age 15 and over age 64) to those in the "economically productive" ages (15 - 64 years) in a population. The age-dependency ratio is sometimes divided into old-age dependency (the ratio of people ages 65 and older to those ages 15-64) and child-dependency (the ratio of people under age 15 to those ages 15-64) ratios. The sum of these two is the Total (age) dependency ratio. This ratio is often used as an indicator of the economic burden the productive portion of a population must carry - even though some persons defined as "dependent" are producers and some persons in the "productive" ages are economically dependent. Countries with very high birth rates usually have higher dependency ratios because of the large proportion of children in the population. The Aging Index is the ratio of persons aged 65 years and over to every 100 persons under age 15 years. It is a measure of aging of a population. The aging index shows that Alberta’s population is younger than that of Canada.

In 2022, Sri Lanka had the highest female to male ratio across the Asia-Pacific region, with on average 1.4 female students for every one male student enrolled in tertiary education. Comparatively, Bangladesh had significantly more male students than female students enrolled in tertiary education.
