Uneven ratio of men to women around the world

63 comments

The uneven ratios in those top three are due to massive populations of second class immigrant laborers, often slave laborers.

- This makes a lot of sense, hard to understand otherwise
  
  17
- Aaahh thank you. I was scratching my head over that one.
  
  And I guess it makes sense that Qatar was top because they recently had to build a whole bunch of stadiums and infrastructure to a tight deadline. But that's all cool because Messi got a medal so yay.

  So, it was worth it 😅

- There are still imbalance issues in massive countries like China and India, and the last thing I want is a bunch of frustrated men in a capitalist dystopia (= fascism pretty much). The number I see from a quick search is around 70 million more men than women in India and China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/). They need to figure this shit out quickly. And it can't just be let women from other countries immigrate because then the countries that they left will also have an imbalance. I'm not sure how to deal with this issue.

  They could just send their excess men to the disputed border where they can just hit each other with sticks.

- Yes, that was my first thought as I know Qatar has a huge population of immigrant workers from Bangladesh and other countries, all of which are male.
  
  7
- Did they all come from Djibouti?

  They came from south asia where that amount of people isn't even a drop in the bucket.

- I think out of all the options from the bottom category Hong Kong would be the nicest

  Was. Until, you know, China...

  Lithuania seems nice. EU & NATO member, and one of the few countries that recognize Taiwan.

  You think the potato thing is real about Latvia? The Baltics rock.

It says excluding Vatican City, which makes sense, but it just makes me want to know how bad the ratio is for there.

22
- Somewhere around 20:1
  
  8
- Well if you have the ratio of priests to children...
  
  7
- That poor girl...

So is it abortion, infanticide, emigration or premature death of females? All of the above? No way that could be natural.

21
- In Qatar's case it's in large part due to immigration. Loads of young men for the building industry, for example.
  
  Population size more than tripled from early 2000 to mid 2010s.
  
  47
  
  That and gender-based rights and wages...

- Obviously war is a factor with Russia and Ukraine. A lot of dead men.

What's going on in Latvia and Lithuania?

14
- They're EU member states, and men are migrating for work.
  
  23
- Seeing a lot of post-soviet states on here, I'm guessing the life-expectancy drop following the USSR's collapse affected men more than women.

  lotta suicide, lotta stochastic violence especially in the 90s.

Wait how do I have to read this? Does Qatar have 3.39 men for every woman????

13
- Yes. Modern slave work in construction is the root cause.
  
  57
- Would you stay there if you were a woman?
  
  21
  
  of course not
  
  12
- Yes
  
  5
- Yeah, I had to resort to the numbers and rereading to work it out, meaning the visualisation art is pretty much useless.
  
  Its one of those "let's look at how they treat men and women in these countries" situations too.
