(#1) The Global Gender Gap Is Mostly Due To China And India
According to the World Bank, men currently outnumber women on a global level by 66 million. That astronomical number marks the highest gap ever recorded. One of the main reasons for this trend is because of India and China's societal obsession with producing sons. While most countries in the world still have more women than men, India and China - the two most populated countries in the world - are enough to totally tip the scale. China has 42 million more men than women. India has 48 million more men than women. Just these two countries account for 75% of the world's gender imbalance.

(#5) The Sex Ratio Is Increasing All Over Europe
In Europe, there are about 105 boys born for every 100 girls. However, because women traditionally live longer than men, European females still outnumber men, and that trend in most European countries will continue. Yet, despite this, the sex ratio is getting larger.
Norway currently has more males than females. Both Denmark and Switzerland are close to a sex ratio of 100 men to 100 women. Great Britain's sex ratio went from 93 to 97 men per 100 women in the period between 1960 and 1996. If the trajectory of those numbers continue, by the year 2050, men will outnumber women in the UK.

(#7) Sweden's Sex Ratio Is Only Going To Get Bigger
Males may outnumber females by about 12,000 right now in Sweden, but those figures are expected to climb. According to statisticians, there are two reasons why the current sex ratio is expected to grow. The first is because men's life expectancies are getting closer to women's. The second reason is most of the migrants coming to Sweden from the Middle East and North Africa are predominately male.

(#8) Working Females Have Adopted Several Negative Lifestyle Habits
Women worldwide have fought long and hard for gender equality and the right to enter the workforce. However, it is the results of those hard fought battles that are negatively affecting women's general health. The Office for National Statistics reported a direct correlation between women who enter the work force and negative lifestyle changes. These working females have more of a tendency to drink and smoke and also have a higher level of stress.

(#4) Only About One Quarter Of All People Who Live In The United Arab Emirates Are Female
In 2015, it was determined that the greatest gender imbalance was found in the Arabian Peninsula. The biggest gap was found within the United Arab Emirates, with females making up only about one quarter of the population. That area of the world became a hotbed for migrant workers in the '70s after the rise in oil prices. Most of those migrant workers are males from South Asia who were not allowed to bring their wives or children with them when they left home.

(#9) European Men Are Taking Better Care Of Themselves
In 2015, there were 12 million more women than men in the European Union. The sex ratio, however, is expected to widen largely because a male's life expectancy will soon be closer to a female's. The reason for this is quite simple: men in Europe, especially western Europe, are leading healthier lives than the generations before them. They eat better, they smoke and drink less, and medical treatment has dramatically improved, especially in the area of heart disease. Also, significantly less men work in dangerous professions like mining.
