This map, published by Our World in Data in 2023, shows the percentage of women in each country in the world relative to the total population of that country.
More boys are born than girls worldwide, with an estimated 105 boys for every 100 girls born. However, because women have a life expectancy that is four years longer, this initial advantage is offset, resulting in 49.71% women in the world (compared to 48.7% at birth).
Countries with a lower ratio of women, shown in dark purple, include Qatar (28.48%), the United Arab Emirates (35.99%), the Maldives (37.90%), Oman (37.92%) and Bahrain (37.92%). In general terms, these unbalanced ratios are due to the large number of immigrants, mainly from the Indian subcontinent, who are brought in to meet labour needs. Other countries such as India and China also have a low percentage of women, which is usually explained by the cultural and historical context of marginalisation of women, in the case of India, or by the one-child policy, in the case of China.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, with a high ratio of women, in dark orange, are countries such as Moldova (53.98%), Latvia (53.68%), Armenia (53.61%), Russia (53.57%) and Ukraine (53.50%). This high figure is usually explained by the low life expectancy of men in these countries compared to women, linked to a high rate of alcoholism among men, as well as a higher suicide rate than in other countries.
