There are countries that have more women than men. This is often driven by different factors, such as conflict and life expectancy rates. Immigration also plays a key role in gender imbalance demographics. Interestingly, the majority of nations where there are more women than men are in Eastern Europe.
Regionally, the numbers are quite interesting. In 2021, the European Union registered 5% more women than men across Member States.
1. Moldova
Moldovan woman makes up 53.98% of the nation’s population. Much like other nations on the list, Moldova struggles with issues of gender equality, particularly when it comes to workforce participation and economic dynamics. The Moldova is an Eastern European nation. Moldova ranks number one on the list.
2. Latvia
Which country ranks 2nd in the highest proportion of women to men? If you guessed another former Soviet nation, you’re correct. It’s Latvia.
3. Armenia
Armenian women comprise 53.61% of the country’s total population, ranking third on the list. With similarly difficult economic conditions to its regional neighbor, Georgia, many Armenian men have had to immigrate to find work.
4. Russia
Following World War II, Russia has consistently had more women than men since the mid-20th century. Russian women have a life expectancy of 11 years superior to that of Russian men.
5. Ukraine
The nation ranking fifth joins the list of Eastern European nations in similar predicaments. Ukrainian women tend to live a staggering decade longer than Ukrainian men.
6. Georgia
The birthplace of wine is the sixth nation on the list. Georgian women make up 53.4% of the national population. Similar to the other former Soviet nations on the list, the discrepancy of life expectancy is quite significant.
7. Belarus
Belarusian women make up 53.4% of the nation’s population, ranking seventh on the list. Similar to Lithuania, a contributing factor to this is a decade difference of life expectancy between women and men.
8. Lithuania
Women in Lithuania make up 52.85% of the country’s population, making it the country with the eighth-highest ratio of women to men. Interestingly, this is not due to higher female birthrates.
9. Tonga
The nation with the ninth-highest proportion of women in their population is Tonga. Women in the Polynesian nation make up 52.59% of the population.
10. Serbia
So which nations have the highest ratio of women? The nation with the 10th-highest ratio of women to men in the world is Serbia.
