As per a report released by the United Nations Population Division in July of 2024, some of the countries with the highest percentage of women in their populations are Moldova, with 53.98%; Latvia, with 53.68%; Armenia, with 53,61%, and Russia with 53.57%.\r\nCountries Where Men Far Outnumber WomenWhile the global gender ratio is not much of a concern, men and women are distributed unequally across the globe.\r\nThe 10 Countries With The Largest Proportion of Women\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRank\r\nCountry\r\nPercentage of Women\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1\r\nMoldova\r\n53.98%\r\n\r\n\r\n2\r\nLatvia\r\n53.68%\r\n\r\n\r\n3\r\nArmenia\r\n53.61%\r\n\r\n\r\n4\r\nRussia\r\n53.57%\r\n\r\n\r\n5\r\nUkraine\r\n53.50%\r\n\r\n\r\n6\r\nGeorgia\r\n53.40%\r\n\r\n\r\n7\r\nBelarus\r\n53.40%\r\n\r\n\r\n8\r\nLithuania\r\n52.85%\r\n\r\n\r\n9\r\nTonga\r\n52.59%\r\n\r\n\r\n10\r\nSerbia\r\n52.51%\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1.

Despite higher female enrollment in tertiary education, women's participation in the labor force remains notably lower than men's, with a 10% gap. Additionally, two-thirds of unemployed individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 are women, highlighting persistent barriers in the workforce. Traditional gender norms are largely responsible for Moldova\u2019s low rate of women\u2019s workforce participation, with women receiving an unequal share of household and childcare responsibilities.\r\n2. Latvia - 53.68%\r\n\r\nAerial view of the Freedom Monument and Riga Dome Cathedral in Riga, Latvia.

Under 43 years old, there are actually more men than women in the population, while after 65, there are twice the number of women than men. This discrepancy after the age of 65 is a result of poor male health, with men having a much lower life expectancy. Men are about three times more likely to smoke, with 31% of the male population smoking compared to just 10% of the female population. Men are also slightly more likely to be obese or overweight, with 62% of men being overweight or obese compared to 57% of women.\r\n3. Armenia - 53.61%\r\n\r\nArmenian women in national costumes in Yerevan, Armenia.

However, despite a large female population, women continue to face barriers in the workforce and political sphere. While women represent 56% of those with higher education, their influence in the government and political sectors remains low. Women hold fewer than 10% of local governance positions and make up up just 24% of Armenia\u2019s parliament. Additionally, the percentage of women participating in the workforce is considerably lower, with about 12% fewer women working than men.\r\n4. Russia - 53.57%\r\n\r\nWoman walking with a baby pram in a spring park in Moscow, Russia.

This historical event continues to shape the population today, as Russia's relatively high life expectancy results in older generations being predominantly female. Additionally, due to health issues such as alcoholism, suicide, and diseases, men in Russia generally have lower life expectancies than women. Women born between 2010 and 2015, for example, have a projected life expectancy of 75.6 years, compared to men born in the same period, of just 64.2 years. This gap results in a lower percentage of men in older generations.\r\n5. Ukraine - 53.50%\r\n\r\nTwo Ukrainian women in traditional clothing with floral wreaths in front of a decorated hut.

As of 2021, the life expectancy for women in Ukraine is 75.3 years of age, which is nearly a decade longer than that of men in the country, at 66.3. Regarding higher education, women in Ukraine are generally very educated, with 60% of women in the country holding higher education degrees. Despite their educational achievements, Ukrainian women continue to face challenges in the workforce, representing 80% of the unemployed population.\r\n6. Georgia - 53.40%\r\n\r\nGeorgian women protest on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, Georgia, against a law adopted in parliament.

With 56% of Georgians emigrating abroad being men, the country is left with a slightly higher proportion of women. Additionally, similar to other countries with a high female population, women have a higher life expectancy than men. As of 2023, Georgian men have a life expectancy of 70.6 years, which is significantly lower than that of women in the country, at 79.4 years, resulting in older generations being predominantly female.\r\n7. Belarus - 53.40%\r\n\r\nA group of Belarusian girls in national clothes during a celebration of Belarusian cultures in Gomel, Belarus.

On average, for example, a Belarusian woman earns about 80% of what a man does. However, unlike some of the other countries on this list, Belarus stands out, with women making up 54% of the workforce, more closely reflecting the country's overall gender distribution. One factor that largely influences the proportion of women to men in the country is life expectancy: As of 2021, life expectancy for women in Belarus is 78 years, exactly ten years higher than that of men.\r\n8. Lithuania - 52.85%\r\n\r\nA Lithuanian athlete, Gitana Akmanavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117, in the 18th VILEMI MARATHON.

Lithuanian women, on average, live nine years longer than Lithuanian men, largely due to health factors such as smoking, drinking, diet, and exercise. In fact, two-thirds of the country\u2019s population over the age of 65 are women. In recent years, a record number of Ukrainian refugees arriving in Lithuania has further affected gender disparities in the country, with 32,000 of the 54,000 refugees received being women.\r\n9. Tonga - 52.59%\r\n\r\nA market in Nuku'alofa, the capital of Tonga, where women and men shop.

Regarding life expectancy, as of 2021, women in Tonga have a life expectancy of 75.3 years, which is about five years higher than the men\u2019s average life expectancy of 70.2 years. Since childhood, Tongan society often socializes boys to practice riskier habits such as smoking, fighting, and wrestling, all of which are generally not socially accepted behaviors for girls. In terms of gender equality, Tonga ranks 115th globally on the Gender Inequality Index, with a score of 0.462 as of 2022.\r\n10. Serbia - 52.51%\r\n\r\nA women preparing grapes in Serbia, wearing a traditional outfit.

Despite over half the population being women, women are underrepresented in the workforce, accounting for just 45.5% of workers. Serbian women are disproportionately affected by discrimination and domestic violence, with half reporting experiences of domestic abuse. Life expectancy is a relevant factor that influences gender population distribution. Serbian women, as of 2021, have a life expectancy of 75.6 years, compared to men of just 70 years.\r\nThe World's Oldest CivilizationsHistorians remain puzzled as to how the advanced Maya Civilization could suddenly collapse in 900 AD.\r\nFinal Thoughts\r\nWhile several factors contribute to the higher proportion of women compared to men in these countries, life expectancy stands out as a major factor, with men often engaging in behaviors more detrimental to their health. As health organizations address these concerns, populations may achieve a more balanced gender ratio, particularly in older age groups.

Despite higher female enrollment in tertiary education, women's participation in the labor force remains notably lower than men's, with a 10% gap. Additionally, two-thirds of unemployed individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 are women, highlighting persistent barriers in the workforce. Traditional gender norms are largely responsible for Moldova鈥檚 low rate of women鈥檚 workforce participation, with women receiving an unequal share of household and childcare responsibilities. </p> <h2 id="h_25991451414721725851910720">2.

Under 43 years old, there are actually more men than women in the population, while after 65, there are twice the number of women than men. This discrepancy after the age of 65 is a result of poor male health, with men having a much lower life expectancy. Men are about three times more likely to smoke, with 31% of the male population smoking compared to just 10% of the female population. Men are also slightly more likely to be obese or overweight, with 62% of men being overweight or obese compared to 57% of women. </p> <h2 id="h_47090253618441725851915684">3.

However, despite a large female population, women continue to face barriers in the workforce and political sphere. While women represent 56% of those with higher education, their influence in the government and political sectors remains low. Women hold fewer than 10% of local governance positions and make up up just 24% of Armenia鈥檚 parliament.

This historical event continues to shape the population today, as Russia's relatively high life expectancy results in older generations being predominantly female. Additionally, due to health issues such as alcoholism, suicide, and diseases, men in Russia generally have lower life expectancies than women. Women born between 2010 and 2015, for example, have a projected life expectancy of 75.6 years, compared to men born in the same period, of just 64.2 years. This gap results in a lower percentage of men in older generations. </p> <h2 id="h_20018864225941725851929143">5.
