Countries by Sex Ratio 2026

🇶🇦 Qatar has the highest sex ratio in the world at 243.7 males per 100 females, while 🇭🇰 Hong Kong has the lowest at 81.7 males per 100 females. 237 countries ranked, UN World Population Prospects 2024 data.

The sex ratio counts males per 100 females across the whole population. Values far above 100 usually reflect large male migrant workforces (the Gulf states top the list); values below 100 are typical where women's longevity advantage dominates, especially in older societies and countries with high male emigration.
