Gender Ratio in India

The gender ratio in India attained a value of 107 males to 100 females in 2021. The ratio recorded the same value as the previous year-on-year in 2021. Between
2018-2021, the gender ratio in Indonesia decreased by 0.02%. The number of males per 100 females in the country was highest in the year 2018 and lowest in the
year 2021.

Gender Ratio

Gender ratio means the number of females per 1,000 males in each population. The gender ratio is an important characteristic that helps us to study the population
of a given area. An unfavorable gender ratio means that there is a lower number of females per 1,000 males in the population. Practices like female foeticide, killing
of girls in the womb, female infanticide, killing of girls when they are babies and domestic violence towards women due to gender discrimination led to unfavorable
gender ratio. Countries like India Pakistan Afghanistan China and Saudi Arabia have low gender ratios.

This ratio isn't constant, rather, it's influenced by influences in biology, society, technology, culture, and economics, which in turn affects society, demography, and
the economy as well as the gender ratio itself.

Gender Ratio: Global Scenario

According to Global Data, the top ten countries in 2021 with the highest gender ratio in the world are Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Maldives, Kuwait,
Saudi Arabia, Equatorial Guinea, Bhutan, and The Northern Mariana Islands. The countries with the lowest gender ratio in 2021 include Belarus, Ukraine, Russia,
Lithuania, Latvia, Nepal, Hong Kong, and Curacao. The average gender ratio was 101 males for 100 females globally in 2021.

In 2021, the male population (https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/world-population-from/) was 3.97 billion of the world's population, or
50.42% of the total. The global female population was 3.9 billion in the globe, accounting for 49.58% of the total population. There were 65.51 million more men
than women on the globe in 2021.

Factors that Affect Gender Ratio:

 Discrepancies between men and women's death rates and life expectancy (https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/the-life-expectancy-at-
birth-in-india-431694/). In general, women live longer than males. This means that assuming everything else is equal, it can be anticipated that women will make

The population's (https://www.globaldata.com/data-insights/macroeconomic/world-population-from/) gender distribution can be impacted through migration. All
else being equal, if there is a considerable quantity of imported male-dominated labor in some countries, it can be anticipated that men will make up most of that
