The uneven ratios in those top three are due to massive populations of second class immigrant laborers, often slave laborers.

Aaahh thank you. I was scratching my head over that one.

And I guess it makes sense that Qatar was top because they recently had to build a whole bunch of stadiums and infrastructure to a tight deadline. But that's all cool because Messi got a medal so yay.

So, it was worth it 😅

There are still imbalance issues in massive countries like China and India, and the last thing I want is a bunch of frustrated men in a capitalist dystopia (= fascism pretty much). The number I see from a quick search is around 70 million more men than women in India and China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/world/too-many-men/). They need to figure this shit out quickly. And it can't just be let women from other countries immigrate because then the countries that they left will also have an imbalance. I'm not sure how to deal with this issue.

They could just send their excess men to the disputed border where they can just hit each other with sticks.

That is the traditional solution, the alternative being insurrection. Sitting governments, for obvious reasons, generally choose your option.

Did they all come from Djibouti?

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

They came from south asia where that amount of people isn't even a drop in the bucket.

[-] digdilem@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

Yes, that was my first thought as I know Qatar has a huge population of immigrant workers from Bangladesh and other countries, all of which are male.

You telling me I should move to dabootie

I think out of all the options from the bottom category Hong Kong would be the nicest

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

Was. Until, you know, China...

[-] qooqie@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

People are still nice tho, and food is still real good. I believe the city itself is really safe(?) not entirely sure.

[-] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 10 months ago

the city itself is really safe(?)

As long as you are no protester

Lithuania seems nice. EU & NATO member, and one of the few countries that recognize Taiwan.

You think the potato thing is real about Latvia? The Baltics rock.

[-] AbeilleVegane@beehaw.org 46 points 10 months ago

I can't believe my native country, Hong Kong Latvia Lithuania Russia Ukraine, is represented here!

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

I love your flag. Looks like it would make a great table runner.

It says excluding Vatican City, which makes sense, but it just makes me want to know how bad the ratio is for there.

[-] intothemild@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

Well if you have the ratio of priests to children...

So is it abortion, infanticide, emigration or premature death of females? All of the above? No way that could be natural.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 47 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In Qatar's case it's in large part due to immigration. Loads of young men for the building industry, for example.

Population size more than tripled from early 2000 to mid 2010s.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 18 points 10 months ago

That and gender-based rights and wages...

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Right… next to no women are moving there if they have a say in the matter

[-] ebits21@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Obviously war is a factor with Russia and Ukraine. A lot of dead men.

What's going on in Latvia and Lithuania?

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 23 points 10 months ago

They're EU member states, and men are migrating for work.

[-] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Seeing a lot of post-soviet states on here, I'm guessing the life-expectancy drop following the USSR's collapse affected men more than women.

[-] sexy_peach@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago

Wait how do I have to read this? Does Qatar have 3.39 men for every woman????

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 57 points 10 months ago

Yes. Modern slave work in construction is the root cause.

[-] mrgreyeyes@feddit.nl 21 points 10 months ago

Would you stay there if you were a woman?

That's a weird way to spell "slaves"

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Involuntarily unpaid migrant labour, technically.
