In 2023, the majority of Ukrainians in Poland were women. Since 2021, the share of Ukrainian men decreased sharply. While the share was ** percent in 2021, it dropped to ** percent in 2023. This could be related to the fact that Ukrainian men have basically not been allowed to leave the country since the expansion of the Russian invasion in 2022.

In all age groups until 29 years old, there were more men than women in Russia as of January 1, 2024. After that age, the female population outnumbered the male population in each category. The most represented age group in the country was from 35 to 39 years old, with approximately *** million women and *** million men. Male-to-female ratio in Russia The number of men in Russia was historically lower than the number of women, which was a result of population losses during World War I and World War II. In 1950, in the age category from 25 to 29 years, ** men were recorded per 100 women in the Soviet Union. In today’s Russia, the female-to-male ratio in the same age group reached *** women per 1,000 men. Russia has the highest life expectancy gender gap The World Health Organization estimated the average life expectancy of women across the world at over five years longer than men. In Russia, this gap between genders exceeded 10 years. According to the study “Burden of disease in Russia, 1980-2016: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016,” Russia had the highest gender difference in life expectancy worldwide.

Labor force participation rate is the proportion of the population ages 15 and older that is economically active: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services during a specified period. Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate is calculated by dividing female labor force participation rate by male labor force participation rate and multiplying by 100.; ; Derived using data from International Labour Organization, ILOSTAT database. Data retrieved in November 2017.; Weighted Average; Data up to 2016 are estimates while data from 2017 are projections. National estimates are also available in the WDI database.

Ukraine: Ratio of female to male students in tertiary level education: The latest value from 2021 is 1.11 percent, an increase from 1.09 percent in 2020. In comparison, the world average is 1.19 percent, based on data from 121 countries. Historically, the average for Ukraine from 1994 to 2021 is 1.15 percent. The minimum value, 1.09 percent, was reached in 2020 while the maximum of 1.24 percent was recorded in 1994.

The gap between the number of women and men in Russia was measured at approximately **** million as of January 1, 2024, with the female population of the country historically outnumbering the male population. Both genders saw a decrease in inhabitants compared to the previous year. Why are there more women than men in Russia? One of the factors explaining gender imbalance in modern Russia is the gap in average life expectancy between the genders. In 2022, Russian women outlived men by around ** years. In particular, working-age men were *** times more likely to die from external causes of death, such as accidents and suicides, compared to working-age women in that year. Furthermore, partial mobilization announced as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war resulted in a mass exodus of young men fleeing from conscription. In response to the government’s call to recruit up to 300,000 reservists in end-September 2022, Google search interest in the term "How to leave Russia" increased sharply. Gender imbalance and its consequences for Russia In Russia, the labor market remains highly segregated by gender. Manual jobs in equipment operation, metal industry, manufacturing, and mechanics are male dominated. The labor shortage in these spheres could limit the country’s potential for increased industrial production. Furthermore, fewer men exacerbate the issue of falling births in Russia. In 2023, only **** million births were recorded nationwide, the lowest over the past decade. Coupled with a decreasing number of working-age men, such a decline in live births could lead to less innovation, a larger share of retired people, and rising government expenditure on pensions and healthcare.

This Common Operational Dataset on Population Statistics (COD-PS) is estimated using baseline information from the 2001 Population Census of Ukraine and annual birth and death registration data since the last census.

REFERENCE YEAR: 2022

The COD-PS is age- and sex-disaggregated at ADM-1 level (i.e. Oblast) and has a reference date of 1 January, 2022.

The ukr_admpop_2022.xlsx spreadsheet includes a table of sex and age disaggregated 2022 projected population statistics of the 30 administrative level 4 features that correspond to cities of more than 100,000 people (excluding Kyiv city).

These tables are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Ukraine - Subnational Administrative Boundaries and Ukraine - Subnational Edge-matched Administrative Boundaries layers using the ADM0, and ADM2_PCODE fields.

Population of Ukraine by sex and age. Structure: * region - region code from regions.csv * year - year (4-digit) * gender - (m for "male", f for "female") * age - age (0 to 100, "total" for total sum by appropriate year, "unknown" for unknown age) * count ** Important** For unknown reasons: Total sum by some years is not eqal to sum all of age values. Region code 0 means Ukraine as a whole. Do not remove it, and use it if you want total sum by whole counry, because total sum by code 0 is not equal to sum by regions.

WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application. Please make sure you have read our Mapping Populations overview page before choosing and downloading a dataset.

A description of the modelling methods used for age and gender structures can be found in "https://pophealthmetrics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1478-7954-11-11" target="_blank"> Tatem et al and Pezzulo et al. Details of the input population count datasets used can be found here, and age/gender structure proportion datasets here.
Both top-down 'unconstrained' and 'constrained' versions of the datasets are available, and the differences between the two methods are outlined here. The datasets represent the outputs from a project focused on construction of consistent 100m resolution population count datasets for all countries of the World structured by male/female and 5-year age classes (plus a <1 year class). These efforts necessarily involved some shortcuts for consistency. The unconstrained datasets are available for each year from 2000 to 2020.
The constrained datasets are only available for 2020 at present, given the time periods represented by the building footprint and built settlement datasets used in the mapping.
Data for earlier dates is available directly from WorldPop.
