#10 Estonia- 52.62%
Estonia is a country with a long and complicated history. Throughout much of the first half of the twentieth century, Estonia was caught in the middle of two major world powers: the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. As a result, many Estonian men were drafted into military service and lost their lives in various wars.
This left a significant imbalance in the country’s population, with more women than men. This imbalance is still evident today, as Estonia has one of the highest ratios of women to men in the world. According to experts, the population is split 52.62 percent women to 47.38 percent men.
#9 Portugal- 52.69%
In the land of the fado and the pastel de nata, you’ll find that women outnumber men. According to the most recent census data, the population makes up 52.69 percent of women and 47.31 percent of men living in Portugal.
So, what’s the reason for this imbalance? Well, it may be that many Portuguese men left the country to find work elsewhere during Portugal’s economic crisis. And, unfortunately, many of them never returned. Or it could also be due to the lower life expectancy of men, which is 78 years old, compared to women’s life expectancy of 84.
#8 Armenia- 52.97%
Armenia is a unique place where women outnumber men. The reasons for this are many, but the most often cited are the emigration of men and the effects of the Armenian Genocide.
Armenia has a long history of emigration, particularly during the Soviet period. This has led to a significant gender imbalance in the country.
As a result of the genocide, there was a significant decrease in the number of Armenians living in Armenia. This, combined with the emigration of Armenians to other countries has led to a significant gender imbalance in Armenia
#7 El Salvador- 53.19%
El Salvador is a Central American country with a population of 6.5 million. The female population outnumbers the male population by around 400,000. This ratio is due to the large number of men who have migrated to other countries in search of work. The majority of the remaining men are either elderly or very young.
#6 Belarus- 53.44%
In Belarus, women outnumber men (53.44 percent to 46.56 percent) due to alcoholism, obesity, and smoking. The country has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption in the world, and Belarusian men are more likely to drink heavily than men in any other country. Furthermore, obesity has been known to be related to health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Finally, many Belarusian men smoke cigarettes, which further increases their risk of health problems.
As a result of these factors, Belarus has one of the lowest life expectancy rates in the world for men. The average life expectancy for a Belarusian man is just over 70 years, while for a woman it is almost 79 years.
#5 Russia- 53.65%
In Russia, women outnumber men by a huge margin. 53.65 percent to 46.35 percent, respectively. This is due to a variety of factors, including lifestyle choices and World War II.
The Soviet Union was one of the most brutal regimes in history. Millions were killed or sent to labor camps. This had a profound impact on the demographics of the country. Men were more likely to be killed in the war or sent to prison, so the ratio of women to men became skewed.
After the fall of the soviet union, many Russians began to adopt Western lifestyles. This included working long hours and drinking heavily. These habits took their toll on Russian men, who have a shorter life expectancy than their female counterparts.
The situation in Russia is not unique. In many countries around the world, women outnumber men. This is often due to factors such as war, disease, and lifestyle choices. In Russia, these factors have combined to create a situation where women far outnumber men.
#4 Ukraine- 53.67%
Ukraine is a country located in Eastern Europe that is known for its beautiful landscapes and architecture. It is also a country where women far outnumber men. This is because a lot of men died during World War II. The percentage of women in Ukraine is 53.67 percent.
#3 Lithuania- 53.71%
Lithuania is a country where women far outnumber men. According to recent statistics, the population of women is 53.71 percent. This means that men make up 46.29 percent of the population. The reason for this is that women tend to live longer than men. In Lithuania, the life expectancy for women is 81 years, while for men it is only 70 years.
#2 Latvia- 53.12%
Latvia is a country where women far outnumber men. More precisely, 53.12 percent of the population is female. This is due to the high early male mortality rate, which is caused by a number of factors, including a higher incidence of accidents and suicide, and a higher prevalence of risky behaviors such as smoking and drinking. This means that Latvian women often find themselves in the position of being the breadwinners for their families.
#1 Nepal- 54.19%
Nepal is a predominantly patriarchal society in South Asia with a population of roughly 29 million people. Of these, approximately 54.19 percent are women. This means that Nepal has one of the highest ratios of women to men in the world.
There are several reasons for this discrepancy. One is that, on average, women have a higher life expectancy than men. In Nepal, a woman’s life expectancy is 73 years, while a man’s life expectancy is only 70 years. This difference is due to a variety of factors, including biological differences and cultural norms regarding health and nutrition.
Another reason for the high number of women in Nepal is out-migration. Due to economic opportunities and political instability, many Nepali men have left the country in search of a better life. This has resulted in a “brain drain” of sorts, with a large number of highly skilled men leaving Nepal.
And lastly, one of the reasons for more females than males is a higher life expectancy at birth in females.
