Yes, plus migrant labor. I imagine most countries that skew male are only a percent or two off. The major outliers are the Persian gulf nations, because they are tiny and rich. All those extra men are migrant workers from poorer nations, sending money back home.

Also impacting the ratios of where they left from.

A lot of men from Lithuania will work abroad, artificially inflating the ratio of women left behind
