List of countries by gender distribution

This list of countries by gender sorts states according to the gender distribution in their territorial population . The gender ratio is calculated from the number of men in relation to the number of women in the population and is given here in relation to 100 women. Gender differences in average life expectancy , wars , migration movements and sex- selective abortions have an impact on this ratio .

Gender distribution in 2015:   balanced more women more men        

Gender distribution 2015

In 2015 there were 101.8 men for every 100 women worldwide, although women have a higher average life expectancy than men in every country in the world. There were 107.3 boys for every 100 girls at birth worldwide, with the natural rate estimated at 105 to 103 boys to girls and the difference being explained by abortions , primarily female fetal abortions in India and the People's Republic of China (the two most populous countries ). The high male surplus in the Arab Gulf States is explained by the high number of guest workers, who are predominantly male, for example Qatar with 307. In most Eastern European countries, the female surplus is due to the significantly higher life expectancy of women there.
