Who is more numerous on Earth at the moment - men or women? Any statistics?
Interested in 2013-2014,
according to a UN report, the number of men in the world is 75 million more...
this is due to the predominance of the male population in the most populous countries of the world China, India (108 and 107 men per 100 women, respectively), in Pakistan - 106, in Bangladesh - 102..
In other countries, there are generally fewer men than women.
And their numbers are decreasing across age categories in most countries.
As of the beginning of 2014 , the male population is larger than the female population.
According to statistics in numerical terms, this difference looks like:
- 3,609,826,932 men
- 3,547,806,515 women
There are 62 million more men (approximately).
According to a UN at the end of 2013, the difference was slightly smaller, at 57 million people.
As a percentage, these amounts look approximately the same, that is, almost “fifty fifty,” that is, fifty-fifty:
- 50.4 percent men
- 49.6 percent women
There are 0.8 percent more men (approximately).
According to information posted on Wikipedia, the world's population will continue to increase, and from seven billion people will reach ten billion people. And if we take into account the fact that the increase in the world's population will occur mainly due to Asian, African, and Latin American countries, then this difference may persist, because unlike other countries, where there are predominantly more women in the country's population, there are more men in these countries. There are probably both genetic prerequisites and situational and historical conditions.
In terms of online statistics, I would like to note two absolutely wonderful online resources, where the demographic situation is presented almost in real time both throughout the planet as a whole and individually by country.
These resources include:
Naturally, we must assume that these meters cannot reflect information in real time, and that they are most likely built on the basis of mathematical formulas, where the unknowns are some statistical data and calculations. These statistics and calculations can be based on average statistical data for past periods, and they can also be supplemented by projected data on the level of population growth or decline. Of course, most likely, these counters are periodically checked against data from reports of authorized organizations, such as the UN, for example, and adjusted.
Earth's population: the current situation
At the beginning of the 21st century, the rapidly increasing world population was recognized by the scientific community as a global problem that was leading to disaster. The numbers and graphs of demographic growth that scientists provide and on the basis of which assumptions are made about the future of the Earth look frightening.
If at the beginning of the twentieth century the population of the Earth was more than one and a half billion people, then after 50 years this figure doubled: there were three billion people on the planet. The next doubling occurred in less than forty years, and by the end of the twentieth century, the world's population exceeded 5 billion.
How many men and women are there in Russia at the moment?
The ratio of men to women in Russia is calculated by Goskomstat. According to scientists, in the Russian Federation, as throughout the world, the number of representatives of different sexes varies depending on the age of people.
The generalized conclusion of a study conducted in 2018 and early 2019 reports that for every 1 thousand representatives of the stronger half of humanity, there are about 1,156 representatives of the weaker sex. That is, currently more than 78 million women (53.7%) and only 68 million (46.3%) men live in Russia.
However, a narrow analysis showed that this difference in the ratio is not permanent. For example, in the group of people under 35 years of age, the number of men and women is almost the same (there are about 961 women per 1 thousand men).
The situation changes over time: for example, analyzing the ratio of Russians aged 35 to 40 years, scientists came to the conclusion that there are already 1,028 females for every 1,000 men.
Ratio of men and women in Russia (not in the world)
Considering the mortality statistics in our country, according to which men die earlier than women, the result of the study of older citizens is quite predictable. The number of women exceeds the number of male representatives by almost twice: per 1 thousand men. there are more than 2 thousand wives. (2377 people).
Experts do not connect such dynamics (sex ratio at young ages under 30) with the demographic “crisis” that took place in Russia in the 90s. In their opinion, these are rather the genetic features of the parents during perestroika, which influenced the fact that boys were more often born during that period.
Geographically in the Russian Federation, the ratio of men and women is practically no different.
Only in 3 regions is there a slight predominance in the number of males over females:
- Murmansk region;
- Chuvash Republic;
- Republic of Kalmykia.
According to Goskomstat forecasts, in the next 10 years the ratio of men and women in Russia will become equal, and after 15-20 years, taking into account the dynamics of changes in birth rates at the moment, the number of men will be significantly greater compared to the number of representatives of the fairer sex.
Family situation in Russian regions
The average age of marriage in Russia is 24.5 (men) and 22.5 (women). According to average European statistics, this is a small age. That's why we call newlyweds young.
The question of how many girls in Russia remain single after 30 years is not subject to official statistical study. Most marriages in the country break up. The fact that divorces exceed the number of marriages is evidenced by reports from regional registry offices.
Divorce
In general, about 60% of marriages break up in the Russian Federation.
These are the statistics for 2015-2017. In the difficult 1990s the situation was better. Only every second union fell apart. This is a worldwide trend for countries with open family relations (where divorce is allowed and there are no additional administrative or church restrictions). Psychologists believe that a marriage crisis occurs after 5-9 years of marriage. During this period, the spouses become fed up with each other. Passion leaves the relationship, and common children become the main factor holding the family together.
Female to male ratio 2021 in the former Soviet Union
The ratio of men to women in the world differs from that in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Here, as in the Russian Federation, there are much fewer men than women. Despite the fact that in the territory of the former USSR the demographic situation has improved over the past 5-10 years, more boys have begun to be born, this has not affected the general situation.
Demographic situation in the country
Over the past few years, a considerable number of different problems have arisen in Russia that are directly related to:
- with the size of the Russian population;
- fertility rates;
- mortality rates.
Of course, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the recent population explosion has allowed the situation to improve slightly.
But if we look at the information over recent years, the situation is not as rosy as we would like.
It is no secret that Russia is rightfully considered the most problematic country, since on the territory of the country the ratio of men and women in Russia differs as much as possible.
At the same time, it should be noted that a similar situation in Russia has not been going on for the first year, but for many centuries.
Scientists have tried to connect these indicators with everything:
- with military operations;
- with low life indicators in men;
- with genetic characteristics and so on.
But in fact, the reasons are all of the above reasons in total.
Countries with more men than women
The ratio of men to women in the world, illustrating the predominance of the former over the latter, is rare.
Among the countries considered as peculiar exceptions from general statistics are:
The ratio of men and women in the world, illustrating the quantitative predominance of representatives of the stronger half of humanity, is observed mainly in Islamic countries, or where patriarchy is a mandatory part of the upbringing of the younger generation.
The numerical ratio of men and women around the world has a direct impact on the increase or decrease in the birth rate in a particular country.
Based on this, studying trends in the reduction or growth of the number of representatives of a particular gender in a timely manner can help prevent the occurrence of gender stagnation and, as a consequence, decline in the economy, finance and other aspects of government functioning.

Ratio of men and women in the Russian Federation and the world
Sex ratio is an important characteristic that has both biological and social significance for the well-being of society. The social unequal ratio of men and women in Russia and the world is one of the most pressing problematic issues of modern demography. The article provides up-to-date information on the number of male and female representatives in different age groups.
What is important to know
First of all, you need to figure out how many men and women there are on earth. According to 2021 statistics, the world population is 7.5 billion, of which 49.6% are women and 50.4% are men. However, this distribution is not preserved everywhere - the bias towards men is created due to the situation in Asian countries. Due to the policy of limiting the number of children in a family, as well as the patriarchal way of life in countries such as China, India, and Bangladesh, the practice of selective abortion has become widespread - upon learning about the birth of a girl, future parents often terminate the pregnancy.
It should be noted that although men outnumber women throughout the world, these figures vary greatly from one country to another, as well as within different age groups.
Demographic situation in Russia
The demographic situation in our country is disappointing: after the crisis, which lasted from the second half of the 90s until 2013, there was a slight natural increase in the population (the birth rate in 2013-2018 exceeded the death rate), which was again replaced by a decline in 2017-2019. Over the past two years, 308 thousand more people died in Russia than were born, but as a result, the country's population increased due to migration growth.

Historical data
Due to certain historical events, the statistics of men and women in Russia in different years was uneven. The numerical predominance of the weaker sex over the stronger in our country was recorded more than a hundred years ago. At the end of the 19th century, for every 1,000 men in the Russian Empire there were 1,055 women, and in the 20-30s of the 20th century - approximately 1,120. After World War II, the gender imbalance in the country increased significantly, and then began to decline: per 1,000 men in 1959 there were 1,242 women; in 1970 - 1193; in 1979 - 1174; in 1989 - 1140. By the beginning of the nineties, there were 6% fewer women.
Ratio of men and women by age groups
Below is a table with data on how many men and women in Russia are in one age category or another (the information is current for 2021).
The situation in the regions of the country
In the regions, the ratio of women to men in Russia does not vary too significantly (see table).
In addition to the sex ratio, demographics are also significantly influenced by the family situation in the country. According to Rosstat, more than 60% of marriages in the country end in divorce; the leading regions in the number of officially dissolved unions are the republics of Tyva, Chechnya and the Magadan region. According to statistics, young spouses are the most likely to get divorced. The average age of marriage in Russia is 28-30 years.
Life expectancy in the Russian Federation
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, regarding the average life expectancy in Russia in 2021, the following figures are given: in general - 71-72 years, women - 76-77 years, men - 66-67 years. On average, Russian women live 10-11 years longer than men.
Analysis of age categories
Statistics of men and women in Russia in different age categories are presented in the table.
It is obvious that the imbalance towards an increase in the proportion of the female population is not due to the problem of fertility. More boys are being born. And this continues until the age of 30-34. Then, from 35, an obvious imbalance appears, which only increases towards retirement age and old age.
The average life expectancy in Russia is to blame for everything. For men it is 65.9, for women – 76.5. However, the obvious demographic imbalance does not affect the education of families. The number of brides and grooms in the Russian Federation is approximately the same.
Ratio of men and women in the world
According to the UN, in recent years the global statistics are as follows: for every 100 women there are 101.8 men. However, many countries are characterized by a pronounced gender imbalance, for example, in the United Arab Emirates there are more than 200 men per 100 girls, and in the Baltic states and the countries of the former USSR, on the contrary, the stronger sex is in short supply. In the US and most European countries, the ratio skews slightly towards the female portion of the population.
How many men and women are there in the world? In 2021, the planet is inhabited by 3822 million and 3755 million males and females, respectively. Thus, there are 67 million more of the former.
The reason for the unequal sex ratio in the world
The unequal number of men and women in the world is associated with many political and socio-economic factors, including:
- wars (decrease in the male population compared to the female population);
- patriarchal traditions of individual states (polygamy, selective abortion);
- “one family, one child” policy;
- shorter life expectancy for men.
Despite the fact that more boys are born than girls, there are significantly fewer elderly men in the world than their female counterparts. Approximately equal numbers of representatives of both sexes are observed in the age group of 30-35 years.

How long will people live on Earth and the childbirth crisis in Russia?
maternity hospital, photo: social networks Today, 7.76 billion people live on Earth. These 7 billion were reached only in 2012. Every year the world's population increases by more than 90 million people. There are only 2 countries in the world whose population is more than 1 billion. These are China and India, whose struggle for first place becomes more intense every year. India is expected to take the leading position by 2023.
TOP 10 countries by population: (Data from 01/21/2020)
- China – 1 400 979 200 billion people – 18.10% (of the total population of the Earth)
- India – 1 357 580 350 billion people – 17.50%

In 2021, the planet's population will increase and at the end of the year will be approximately 7858772994 billion. Natural growth will be positive, equal to 95230270 people.
Population dynamics in 2021 are expected to be approximately as follows:
Birth rate: 427 457 children per day
Mortality: 166 552 people per day
That is, growth rate: 262,295 people per day.
According to expert forecasts, the average life expectancy for women is expected to increase to 79.1 years in 2045-2050. As for men, their average life expectancy will increase to 74.5 years in 2045-2050. The gap in life expectancy between women and men will gradually narrow and by the end of the century will be 3.9 years.
According to Rosstat, as of January 1, 2021, 146,745,098 people live in Russia, the population has decreased by 35 thousand people (0.02%). At the same time, 109 million Russian citizens live in cities, and 37 million in rural areas. During his annual address to the Federal Assembly, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said that the main demographic task is to increase the birth rate. To this end, Putin proposed issuing maternity capital for the first child in the amount of 466 thousand rubles; at the birth of the second, 150 thousand more will be paid, and in families that have a mortgage loan, it will be repaid by 450 thousand.
In addition, regular payments were proposed for children from 3 to 7 years old. According to a study by the Public Opinion Foundation, 34% of respondents believe that payments for the first child will lead to an increase in demographic indicators. 28% of respondents believe that payments will not affect the birth rate. 25% expect a slight increase, and 13% found it difficult to answer. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation predicts an annual population growth of 200 thousand people, by 2024 the population should grow to 147.5 million.
Rosstat expects life expectancy to increase in Russia. “Life expectancy in the average forecast will increase from 73.42 years in 2021 to 79.1 in 2035,” says the Rosstat report. It is emphasized that the age difference between men and women in 2035 will be 7.5 years – 75.18 (men) and 82.69 (women). The total fertility rate will increase from 1.503 to 1.579 by 2036. At the same time, in 2025 it will decrease to 1.415 and will begin to increase in 2026.
“The number of deaths will decrease slightly, from 1.79 million people in 2021 to 1.69 million in 2035,” the forecast notes.
The average age of a Russian woman who gives birth to her first child is 26 years. The Rosstat Statistics Service also found that a second child is most often born at 30 years old, and a third at 31. Over the past 15 years, the average age at which a child is born has increased significantly, and studies show that this figure will only increase further. The most important reasons for postponing the birth of a child are study or work. The data can be compared with statistics from the 1990s, when the average age of a mother at the birth of her first child was 20.9 years, in 2015-2017 – 26.1 years. The intervals between the first and second child doubled. According to data for the first quarter of 2021, the total fertility rate in Russia decreased by 5.5% compared to 2018 and amounts to 1.49 children per woman.
In America, the peak birth rate is between 25 and 35 years old.
But in Latin America everything is different; they start having children from the age of 15-25.
- Spain – 31-32 years.
- Germany – 30 years.
- Angola, Congo, Somalia - 12-15 years.
- Japan - 30-35 years.
According to the UN and CIA, developing African and Asian countries show the highest birth rates, and this is due to the low standard of living and the desire of parents to ensure an acceptable old age. The leaders in terms of birth rate per 1000 people are Congo (49.6 people), Guinea-Bissau (49.6), Liberia (49.6), Niger (49.0), Afghanistan (48.2), Mali (48. 1), Angola (47.3), Burundi (47.1), Uganda (46.6), Sierra Leone (46.2).
Low total fertility rates are mainly found in more economically developed countries. These include most European countries (including Russia), the USA, South Korea and Australia.
In China, according to local official statistics, the birth rate is now 1.5 children per woman.
Demographers believe that developed countries require a fertility rate of at least 2.1.
“We have reached a watershed, beyond which half of the countries have a total fertility rate below the level of simple population replacement. If nothing changes, the population in these countries will decline,” Christopher Murray, head of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
