India is one of the most populated countries in the world, with a large number of men and women living in different states. Some states have a higher female population than others due to factors like birth rates, healthcare and migration. Understanding which state has the highest number of women helps in studying population growth, gender balance and the impact of government policies on women’s welfare.
India has 28 states and 8 Union Territories. States have their own governments, while Union Territories are governed by the central government. Each state and Union Territory has its own capital, culture and languages. Some well-known states are Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, while Delhi and Chandigarh are Union Territories.
Kerala has the highest female population in India. In 2011, Kerala had 1,084 females per 1,000 males. This means there were more women than men in the state. Kerala has maintained a high sex ratio for many years due to better healthcare, education and social development.
The sex ratio is the number of females for every 1,000 males in a population. A higher sex ratio means more women, while a lower sex ratio means fewer women.
Besides Kerala, some other states and Union Territories also have a high sex ratio:
