Top-10 Countries with the Highest Number of Women per 100 Men

In many countries around the world, the number of women is either equal to or more than men. This difference can happen due to many reasons like longer life expectancy for women, health issues, wars or migration. In this article, we will look at the top-10 countries that have the highest number of women compared to men.

Country with the Most Women Compared to Men

Djibouti, a small country in East Africa, has the biggest gap between the number of women and men. For every 100 men, there are about 120 women. That means women make up a much larger part of the population. One of the main reason is that many men leave the country to work overseas, leaving more women behind.

How do We Count the Female Population?

The female population is measured by looking at how many women live in a country, especially  when compared to the number of men. If there are more women than men, we say the female population is higher. While the world as a whole has slightly more men, many countries actually have more women.

Why do Some Countries Have More Women?

There are a few reasons why women outnumber men in certain countries:

• Migration: Men leave to work in other places.
• Longer Life Expectancy: Women often live longer than men.
• War or Conflict: Some countries lost more men during wars.
• Social Factors: Health, lifestyle and work conditions can impact men more.
