The ratio between the number of males and females in a society is referred to as the gender ratio. This ratio is not stable but instead shaped by biological, social, technological, cultural, and economic forces. And in turn the gender ratio itself has an impact on society, demography, and the economy.
In this entry we provide an overview of the variation and the changes of the gender ratio across the world. We study how it changes from birth to late life; the forces that change the ratio of men to women.
Many argue persuasively that the terms ‘gender’ and ‘sex’ are not to be used interchangeable.1
In this context here we have however decided to make an exception: we speak of the ‘gender ratio’ because it’s the established term and it will help all those who want to be informed about this topic and search this term. But we also speak of the ‘sex ratio’ because this is arguably the more accurate term and it is increasingly used within the academic literature.

Women are more than men in population because it is Nature,that is how God decided it to be. And this is why,in the ratio of marriage is 1:4, according to my Religion, lslam,
If you go to a farm,you will get 2 bull in 100 cows.
Rearing hens,you get one or two cork out of 100 hens,etc
It is all about the origin of creation.

In the beginning of this world, God created the heaven and earth and later made man and woman. But as generations keep on increasing, the world ‘s population has increased but with not round balance of men and women. According to some researchers, the total number of women in the world outnumber that of men. That is why most women are not getting their life partners and some men always marrying more than one woman
