This question seems to have no answer, but there are some interesting details. First of all, a country’s birth rate is generally biased toward boys. The odds of having a boy are slightly higher than the chances of having a girl. The World Health Organization estimates the sex ratio at birth to be anywhere from 103 to 107 boys for every 100 girls.
India
In general, gender roles in India are similar across states, but there are large differences in certain regions. For instance, the Hindi Belt contains several conservative states, such as Uttar Pradesh, while the National Capital Territory of Delhi tends to be on the opposite end of the spectrum. Previous reporting on gender roles used membership in India’s six zonal councils, but this current report examines gender roles in more detail on a state-by-state basis.
The number of female citizens in India is approaching its peak, but the proportion is still not equal. In the 1950s, women tended to have six children, so the shift towards a majority of female citizens is quite dramatic. But the Indian population has also suffered a history of missing women. According to Amartya Sen’s book, “The Missing Women of India,” an estimated 37 million women disappeared in the 1990s. Due to cultural norms, male children are more valued than female children. They are expected to take care of their parents and carry on the family’s legacy. The societal stigma associated with giving birth to a daughter meant that millions of girls were killed before or after birth.
Russia
Despite the fact that Russia has more female than male citizens, gender relations in Russia have experienced many changes over the years. The early Soviet years were a time of revolutionary policies for women, including reproductive rights, political mobilization, and entry into the workplace for equal pay. Then came the “great retreat” of the 1930s and 1950s, when women’s economic mobilization became increasingly tied to their traditional mothering role.
Since the early 1990s, the gender gap has been widening. At that time, there were ninety-three men for every one hundred women in Russia. Today, the gender imbalance is a little less than one hundred percent, but it still varies by region. In Siberia, the Yamal-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, for example, have much higher percentages of females than males.
Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe is one of the regions where there are more female scientists than male scientists. The countries in the region are characterized by low fertility rates, which skews the gender ratio. As a result, females are generally older than males. In addition, young men in these nations have higher mortality rates than their counterparts elsewhere in the world.
This phenomenon is often the result of local circumstances, such as selective migration patterns. While this type of migration tends to result in imbalanced gender ratios, it can also affect the overall economic development of a region. Some regions are more female-dominated than others, a condition that can help achieve Europe 2020 employment targets.
United Arab Emirates
The population imbalance in the UAE has led to a public debate on Emirati identity. Many nationals support the gradual phasing out of non-citizens and the preservation of a more Emirati status quo, while others advocate a new social contract that would divide power between local and foreign majority. The government has taken steps to address the issue. In 2007, it established a committee to study the issue of the country’s demographic structure.
According to the United Nations, the UAE has a population of 9,890 million people. The gender ratio of the population is about 28% male and 72% female. There are more males than females in all age groups. In the under-14 age group, for example, males make up 0.76 million of the country’s population, while females make up 0.43 million of the population in this age bracket. The gender ratio increases to about 2.2 million males for every one female resident over age 14.
Qatar
In Qatar, women have equal rights to employment, but they tend to seek the approval of their family and pursue jobs that are socially acceptable. Approximately 51% of Qatar’s workforce is female. They earn approximately 70% of what men do. However, many women are unemployed. They are mostly employed in the public sector, and few hold high-level positions.
Qatar is not unique in this respect, as most Middle Eastern countries and parts of Northern Africa still have higher female populations than male. According to the United Nations Statistics Division, the total life expectancy at birth is 75.7 years, higher than the global average of 73.6 years. The male life expectancy is 74 years.
Vietnam
In the country of Vietnam, women have greater status than men. Once a matriarchal society, Vietnam has produced many great women leaders and heroes. Women played a major role in the Vietnam War, serving in combat and working in factories, communes, and homes while men were away. Vietnamese women also held important positions in government and have been featured in many plays. One of the most famous female leaders in Vietnam was Nguyen Thi. Binh, who was a communist leader and negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference.
The role of women in the Vietnamese government is expanding. They are now making up nearly one-third of the National Assembly. They hold many high-level government positions, including vice president. Yet, the country’s government still does not give women equal access to the real power centers in the country. As of 2007, there were only 127 women elected to the legislature, falling short of the target number of 150 women.
Albania
Although Albania has more female than male citizens, its political system remains dominated by men. The country’s population of 2.88 million consists of 50 percent females, but only 28 percent of parliamentary seats are held by women. Despite progress since the country’s 1991 constitution was adopted, there are still many barriers that prevent women from achieving a role in leadership.
As of 1 January 2022, Albania’s population was estimated at 2,877,275. This was a decrease of -0.04 percent from the previous year. However, this growth rate was positive in 2021, when it increased by 17,184 people. External migration was largely responsible for this increase. The country’s sex ratio was one of 1.002 (1,002 male citizens for every 1,000 female citizens). This figure is slightly higher than the global average of 1,016 to one.
