Julian2 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 The Arab countries mentioned have a lot of migrant workers, eg oilfield people, mainly men. I wonder if they are included in the survey, that would explain the big percentage difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosal Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 The CIA world factbook mentions the same sex-ratio (1.9 men/female) for Qatar. Obviously the migrants aren't included in the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosal Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 ib13 said:is that active birth selection or what? At birth, boys outnumber girls everywhere in the world by much the same proportion? there are around 104 or 105 male children for every 100 female children. I wonder why the men ratio is so low in East Europe and Russia ; vodka maybe ? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
