    Isn’t this mostly showing that females have longer lifespans and in countries where they have weird preference for boys, the skew towards male?

      Yeah, it’s not “young hot women got no one to fuck”. It’s mostly grannies. The more purple the country, the more grannies it has.

      Yes, plus migrant labor. I imagine most countries that skew male are only a percent or two off. The major outliers are the Persian gulf nations, because they are tiny and rich. All those extra men are migrant workers from poorer nations, sending money back home.

        Also impacting the ratios of where they left from.

        A lot of men from Lithuania will work abroad, artificially inflating the ratio of women left behind
