Adult Sex Ratio

The sex ratio among adults (ages 15-64) can be highly variable and is based on migration and death rates (especially due to war). Into late adulthood and old age, the sex ratio is often highly skewed toward females.

Some countries with very high proportions of males to females include...

United Arab Emirates – 274:100
Qatar – 218:100
Kuwait – 178:100
Oman – 140:100
Bahrain – 136:100
Saudi Arabia – 130:100

These oil-rich countries import many men to work and thus the ratio of males to females is highly disproportionate.
