A graph in the well-regard magazine Economist gives statistics on countries with the “most male populations”, as in the most males per 100 females. Here’s the top 10:
- United Arab Emirates: 214
- Qatar: 206
- Kuwait: 150
- Bahrain: 132
- Oman: 128
- Saudi Arabia: 117
- Greenland: 113
- Jordan: 108
- Afghanistan: 107
What do 9 of these 10 countries have in common? And what effect would such an imbalance have upon the society? How would the society get that way, especially if abortion is not legal?
Just some thoughts on this particularly appropriate day.
