Islam bad for women?

Except for British Virgin Islands, Nauru, Vanuatu, and Bangladesh, only Muslim nations seem to go against the trend of an increase of women amongst the elderly. Why? Also although there are a few Christian nations (British Virgin Islands) animist nations (Vanuatu, Nauru) Buddhist nations (Bangladesh) Hindu nations (India) atheist nations (China) with a serious imbalance (1.03 or higher in my opinion) most of these appeared to be Islamic. No offense to Muslims, but why? What's going on?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.234.177.7 (talk) 18:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladesh is a mainly Muslim nation -_-. But to your point, I suppose immigration plays a role there. Look at the ratios for the former Soviet Muslim-dominant countries, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan. None of these have odd ratios. Why? Because immigration from poorer countries don't come to these countries. In the rich Arabian nations, immigration from South Asia plays a significant role in the population distribution. --Hamster X (talk) 14:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In Andorra the sex ratio at birth is normal 1.05 but very high men in working-group (108 men per 100 women in group 15-64 compare with 101 men per 100 women in same group in neighbour countries such as France and Spain) and especially in age over 65 (around 99 men per 100 women compare with 70 men per 100 men in France and Spain).Cristiano Toàn (talk) 08:48, 6 March 2011 (UTC). The other reason led to the different distribution of population by sex in Arabian nations is the life-style of men, with the sharia law forbit alcoholic food thus the early mortality due to drinking-related such as liver cancer, cardiovascular is lessened.Cristiano Toàn (talk) 08:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification...

Does the number in the table represent male or female? It's not exactly clear from what I can see. Supertin (talk) 09:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quote from article: "The human sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.234.187.84 (talk) 03:50, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated 9/13/2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.190.21 (talk) 22:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What does a sex ratio of 5.06 in China translate to? I am a layman. Please explain. Obsessions28 (talk) 14:35, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It translates to a typo, I guess. Should be 1.06.

New Discussion

A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries. Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 12:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title of page is incorrect

Listing is not "by sex ratio" but alphabetical by country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.254.1 (talk) 09:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is a list of sex ratios by country. Why hasn't this problem been addressed yet?--108.124.20.244 (talk) 05:21, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Update

It needs updating as there is new information available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2018.html from the C.I.A. 86.176.128.184 (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nepal and Bangladesh

Nepal and Bangladesh have sex ratio of less than 1. Why are they colored blue in the map?
